We’ve departed from Su Zhou in the morning around 10 after our breakfast from the hotel.  The road trip to Wu Xi would spent nearly one and half hour. It’s consider quite near. Somehow, the most shocking news we learnt from Xiao Yuan the tour guide is, our lunch is ready at Wu Xi and we shall be having our lunch as the first stop of Wu Xi. Freaking early lunch, its only 11.30am. It’s not even noon time.

Since we were here already, definitely we need to try some else it’s going to be a long visiting the whole afternoon.

Wuxi city is located at the shore of Lake TaiHu 太湖, it is known as the 3rd largest lake in China.  All the tourist attractions that we are going to visit in Wuxi are all related to the lake.

The 1st destination of Wu Xi will be the Ling Shan Grand Buddha 灵山大佛.

It is known that the Grand Buddha here are huge, which is the most spectacular thing among the tourist. We rented a tourist car, to cut down the walking distance. Ya, we are lazy people who are willing to pay RMB20 for transport but hesitate to give tips! Hahahaha!

Ticket entrance were included in the tour fee, so we just need to sit down and enjoy the scene!

The car stopped us at the inner entrance, where we still have to walk for 200 over steps before accessing the Grand Buddha which is 80 meter height.

We had a chance to take picture, made a wish and performs a simple praying. Although we are not Buddhist, but at least we need to show some respect to the Buddha right?

On the both side of the stair case, there’s a statue for us to take pictures.

On the left there’s a a Big Hand statue.  As what Xiao Yuan told us, we can go around the Big Hand and touch the big hand so that our wish would come true.

On the right side on the staircase, there’s a Laughing Buddha. Everyone is queuing to take photo with it.

We also bought a wishing craft and wrote down our wishes and hang it on the stand. It’s RMB10 yuan each. We saw a lot of people making a wish so of course Alex and I would not miss a chance. Not sure whether it is real, but at least I know, part of my wish is revealing now

Enough of photo session, now we shall proceed to the 200 over steps. This is just peanuts compare to our adventurous Mulu trip.

After the steps, we can take a lift to access to the Buddha’s leg. Not sure if you ever heard of this chinese saying, 临时抱佛脚。 There’s so much people queuing to hug the Buddha’s leg!

Alright , we’ve spent enough time hugging the Buddha and time to move on the next destination, 三国成。

三国城 San Guo Cheng is popular scene that they use for filming. The most popular movie which was taken scene from here are the Three Kingdomes Tv Series 三国演义 .

Unfortunately, the moment we reach here, it’s starts to rain. Weather has been so unpredictable, but the lucky thing is the umbrella is always with us.

Then we witness a live show performance from the actors which last for 15 minutes.

And we took a boat ride, imagine that we are going for a war!

Basically it’s just a site visiting, nothing much and we visited the tea pot factory. They restrict photo takings so sorry , nothing to share here.

We had the best dinner in Wu Xi, very special, and it suits my taste bud!

It’s a tiring day, finally reach the hotel. Took a good rest, and tomorrow we’re heading to Shanghai! Whoohoo!
