Wuxi China: An Unknown Amazing City!

Wuxi! 无锡! This city is a well-known city in China, to the rest of the world... it's unknown! It is an absolutely amazing city. There's a small mountain, the 3rd biggest lake in China, ancient towns, ancient streets, a beautiful pagoda, and these are only the places that I visited. There is so much more to do in this city. Watch as Phil and myself explore this amazing hidden gem of a city!

I am from New Zealand. Wuxi is my home town. Cheers ❤

[@deepa12345611]

I've been in love with this place since 2014 after staying there for a total of 5 months in multiple visits. Wuxi is truly beautiful and fully packed with surprise places to explore for travel freaks like me! Everytime you travel looking for interesting places, you find them here in Wuxi. I'm so happy to watch this video while bring able to recognise almost all of the places seen in it. Thank you for posting this on KZbin. I wish to visit Wuxi again very soon!

[@slightlyoffthebeatentrack7322]

Ahh WuXi looks so nice! I love these cities that have such a great mix of city/nature and have the 'classic Chinese' feel to them. Would love to visit. Going on the list for next time we get round to China!

[@LevelPathfinder]

Yes! It really does have such an amazing feel to it. a great city, I highly recommend it.

这是一个被小看的地方，无锡因为比较小，人口也很少，江苏同时有南京苏州超一线两个大佬压着，里上海杭州又很近，隔壁城市都太耀眼啦！但是无锡人均gdp是全国第三（注意是，17年的数据，前二是鄂尔多斯和东营，人少煤多的地方），人均年产值17万，总产值也在全国第十，11000亿元，只有600万人口；对比其他地区，上海2400万人口，产值38000亿；重庆3000万人口，产值25000亿，武汉1100万人口，产值16000亿，我对无锡印象很好，人民安逸富足，没有拥挤的交通，市中心有小桥流水和小山，生活体验极强，娱乐餐饮商场几乎都和魔都一样，医疗虽然没有魔都的专家团队多但是无锡的肺移植全国第一。

For explorers planning to visit Wuxi, Moovit is an excellent navigation app that works like a charm in China. Dont even think of using Google maps there as it is blocked. Moovit only needs an Internet connection. It helps you travel through the public transport systems in Wuxi like buses and metro with ease.. Works in Shanghai as well.. Happy exploring.. ❤️

@@LevelPathfinder Great to hear that!

[@rudyalfonsus686]

i ve been to many cities in china, uncountable. and its sad that they have so many beautiful cities unknown in the world wide. cities like xiamen, qingdao, henan, ningbo, suzhou, so potential whether you want to travel or even staying for long term. they really need to learn how to promote their cities in the world wide

[@LevelPathfinder]

I know it's crazy right!! Hopefully they can start promoting them better in the future, travelling China can take a long time with just how many amazing places there are here. I'm glad I have the opportunity to do this!

[@firefly4784]

Unfortunately, western media are not interested in promoting China in general, and not a lot of people watch Chinese channels.

[@LevelPathfinder]

@@firefly4784 I agree, I hope I can show these cities in the positive light they deserve! I honestly love every city I've visited so far here in China. I've been here nearly 5 years I've been a lot of places :)

[@Svorpal]

It looks like you've been to many beautiful places in Wuxi. If you plan to visit Wuxi again, Garden/park Li 蠡园 is also an amazing place to go. There you would enjoy the beauty of Chinese gardens. Highly recommended!

[@LevelPathfinder]

Awesome, I'm gonna add that to the list. I've been to a few parks in Wuxi, they are all really amazing. Wuxi has amazing green land!

[@Svorpal]

@@LevelPathfinder 10:36 Nice, Mei Garden(梅园，the Garden of Plum ) is worth visiting especially during the period when plum trees blossom. Lingshan Budda was built recently, like about a decade ago, (not really an ancient Chinese ritual site) a lot of people burn incense and pray there. These two places are amazing.

[@LevelPathfinder]

@@Svorpal Completely agree!! A few years ago I went to Mei Garden I believe they had cherry blossoms there which looked really beautiful. When my family visited me, I took them to the Lingshan Buddha, even though it's modern still had a great time, still a great place to see. Soooooo much to do in Wuxi!!!!

Hey, are you still in Wuxi? I'll be moving there in August, I already visited and I really liked the city.

[@LevelPathfinder]

Sadly I'm currently not in Wuxi, I live in Kunshan which is very close to Wuxi though. I often visit because I have friends there. How long was you in Wuxi for before??

[@MrVictor8787]

datChinalife 2 days I wanna live close to the train station downtown,you think I can find an apt for 1500 yuan ?’my school is up north by the last subway 1 stop but I wanna live close to downtown,you think it’s doable?

[@LevelPathfinder]

@@MrVictor8787 I understand wanting to live close to the station, I live close to the station in Kunshan, makes life so easy to travel around the country. I'm gonna be honest, sadly I'm not entirely sure. When I lived in Wuxi I was in GeLunBu, which is just outside New District and that was 1000 RMB (about 15 minute taxi ride from the station or 20 on the metro with a line change). I hope you can, I hope your school will help you out as well to get you a place there. I visit Wuxi often, maybe I will see you in Red Lion sometime :)

[@MrVictor8787]

datChinalife well on 58.com I found some good apts close to the station for 1500-2500, so hopefully I can get one of those upon arrival . Oh yeah I read about that bar , I rode my bike to it but then saw that 南长街 and went there instead . Any tips or advice about living there ? I really liked it , close to 3 airports in the area , easy to get around , very similar to suzhou I felt . Thanks

[@LevelPathfinder]

@@MrVictor8787 Wow awesome! Being close to the station is a great idea, very convenient. Since as you've already been to China and Wuxi before there's not much advice I can give, you know what to expect, you know about the culture, I loved living in Wuxi, so I hope you do as well. Yes! Very similar to Suzhou is a lot of ways, just a little smaller. Hope we get to bump into each other in Wuxi at some point.

Um...did you guys take taxi to move...?

Wuxi is 90% same as any other Chinese city- I'll let you make up your mind what that includes

[@shkwg16]

it it not, even the language is different, not to mention how people behave and how open it is as an outstanding economy. Learn something more before you comment man

[@turbotrout8216]

language is different but just like any of chinese city- correct, food is 90% the same as any other chinese city, economy is built on debt like 90% of any other chinese city. Behaviour is 90% same as any other chinese city. Just to be clear I do love Chinese people.

[@shkwg16]

@@turbotrout8216 Did you just define the city? your comments are all purely based on your own observation, which has just very limited insight, and which I feel sorry for you if youre living in or have ever lived in Wuxi. The language is different as in this is completely another language, not talking about the accent, Wu Chinese is not mutually inteligible with other Chinese languages; Food are same? Are you kidding me, Wuxi Xiaolongbao, Wuxi ribs, Wuxi Tai Lake San Bao, etc, wuxi is just famous for its local food, and its the sweetest among all chinese cities, including those non-mainland cities with major chinese populations, you go to the chain restaurants or those non-local restaurants and tell me they are no different from those in other cities ? Thats a joke and it's not so funny to make such comment without the basic knowledge; How do you define the behaviour, without truly understanding the local culture?? I hope you don't waste your time living in China.

@@shkwg16 i do live in Wuxi, Speak pretty good mandarin and have fully assimilated as much as one can to understand the culture.
