Our 1st stop of the day was Lotus Garden (耦园). It is listed as one of the UNESCO World Heritage site. Take a grinder boat ride to visit Lotus Garden is the most advisable. Boat owner will even sing for you. Remember to give some tips to express appreciation.
After that we headed to silk factory. Inside factory, there are not just demostration on how the silk forming, but also fashion show. Of course, you also can find silk pillow, silk blanket, and etc here. From their explanation, silk has a lot of advantages to our health. But then the price is really scare me. >_<
We headed to WuXi after lunch. 1st stop in WuXi was Li Garden(蠡园). The lake of the Li Garden ripples gently and green hills stand in the distance. Long corridors, embankment, arbors, pavilions in the garden are all engraved with elegant and colored drawing.
Next destination would be Lingshan grand buddha(灵山大佛). The giant buddha is named by its location which is Lingshan Mountain. The Mountain was so named by Tang Xuanzang, a Tang-dynasty Buddhist Monk whose pilgrimage trip to India is well-known throughout the Chinese history.
FanGong(梵宫) is also one of the attraction on Lingshan mountain. It has splendid design and architecture. Must cover your shoes with the cloth before entering in oreder to maintain cleanliness. I guess, this action is also one kind of respect to this place.
After dinner, we stayed a night at WuXi and then tomorrow would be headed to NanJing. The hotel room is great and clean.
