XiHui  Park 

  Located in-between two hills called respectively Huishan and Xishan to the west of the city, this park is outstanding for the traditional Chinese gardening and also for its concentration of historical sites and cultural relics left over from various dynasties, hence called Wuxi's Open-air Museum of History.

 The HuishanOldTown, famed as Wuxi's open-air museum, comprises 25 hectares of core area which is to be preserved, and 113 hectares of land to be developed to match the preserved core area. The old town features local customs and culture involving historical figures, temples and gardens, famous scenic sights, old streets, arts and crafts and local produce. What is unique is the existence of ancestral temples numbering 118 in all, which should be included in the world cultural heritage.

 The Old Street of RongxiangVillage

    Wuxi's RongxiangVillage is no ordinary village, people here couple the name with the birth of Chinese breed of capitalists.  The village's history dates back to 600 years ago when Rong Qing, the traceable first ancestor of the Rong family, moved from Jin Ling (the present-day Nanjing) to Wuxi together with 30 some people.

    The old street of the village is lined with around 200 timeworn houses, all structures built around the turn of the previous century and mostly associated with Chinese's industrial and commercial magnates in history.  The former Vice-president of China Rong Yiren was born in one of the houses here.
