As temperatures soar across China, travelers are trading sunscreen for shade in Wuxi City’s classical gardens – where ancient design meets modern chill vibes.
Nestled in east China’s Jiangsu Province, these green oases blend tranquility with serious cultural cred. Think winding pathways framed by 1,000-year-old trees, lotus-filled ponds straight out of a poetry scroll, and pavilions that’ve hosted tea ceremonies since the Ming Dynasty.
Local guide Li Mei tells us: \"Visitors love how the gardens turn summer from ‘ugh’ to ‘omg’ – the bamboo groves alone drop the temperature by 5°C!\" Pro tip: Catch the dawn mist over Nine-Dragon Fountain for ultimate Instagram zen.
With UNESCO vibes minus the crowds, Wuxi’s gardens are this season’s offbeat answer to ‘hot girl summer’ – historian-approved edition.
