Move over, metro giants—Wuxi is stealing the spotlight! This Jiangsu Province gem, nestled by the shimmering Taihu Lake, is where industrial hustle meets poetic tranquility. Think 'Emily in Paris' meets 'Silicon Valley', but with way better tea.
Nicknamed the 'City of Might and Delight,' Wuxi’s Hui mountain spring water once enchanted Tang Dynasty Tea Sage Lu Yu. Today, its floral crown jewel Yuantouzhu blooms like a TikTok transition reel—cherry blossoms in spring, lotus in summer, golden osmanthus in fall, and plum blossoms in winter.
From July 21-25, dive into Wuxi’s story of wealth (hello, $1.2 trillion GDP! ), ancient canals, and lakeside romance via CGTN’s Rising Star Cities series. Spoiler: This city’s vibe is 100% main-character energy.
