Wuxi: A breath of fresh air

Wuxi is probably a 40 minute drive away from Suzhou, so it was still within the Jiangsu Provice, which also includes our next destination (Shanghai). It is located on the northern shore of the Tai Lake, which is part of the reason for our visit into this city. We headed to Turtle head park, located on the shore of Tai lake where we are able to enjoy some of nature's beautiful scenery. Wuxi is truly something special and I am definitely a sucker for scenery and nature's beautiful creations.  I'm not sure if it was just me or if it was the place, but I noticed a temperature change here.  The weather was warmer and more bearable.  It was definitely a breath of fresh air, away from the hustling and bustling of the city life, where cars and bikes take over and people do not have the right of way.  It was peaceful, serene and just amazing.  I felt like I was a character wandering around in one of those Chinese dramas set in ancient times.

The lake was calm, there was no wind and a lot of picture perfect scenery.  We were so caught up with picture taking that we drifted away from the tour guide and missed out on some educational facts.  It was kind of therapeutic!
