My first visit to Wuxi was a direct drive of about 2 hours by a friend's car🚗 First, we went to the luxurious service area - Yangcheng Lake Service Area; it's like a small shopping mall with everything to eat and buy, and the decoration is also nice, a good place to rest and check in. The first stop was the Lingshan Giant Buddha. The weather wasn't great today, with light rain and a bit of haze, so the photos didn't turn out as well, but the solemnity and grandeur of the giant Buddha were still visible; along with several distinctive buildings nearby. The second stop was the Mei Garden, which was the mansion of the Rong family, a major merchant in the 19th century. It happened to be mid-March when various flowers🌸 were just blooming, very beautiful😍 Finally, I tried some authentic Wuxi dishes with my friend before heading back to Shanghai.

The Grand Buddha of Lingshan, situated near Wuxi in Jiangsu Province, China, is a towering statue of the Buddha standing at an impressive height of 88 meters (289 feet).
