Xihui Scenic Area

This scenic area consists of three parts: the scenic area (including the Jichang Garden), the Xihui Park and the Entrance Park.

The Hui Spring was built during the Tang Dynasty (AD 618-907) and became well known in recent times thanks to the popular song Moon Reflected in the Erquan Spring composed by the blind folk musician HuaYanjun, also named Abing.

Abing plays the erhu (a kind of two-stringed cello) and beautifully captures the serene atmosphere.

The Jichang Garden was constructed during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and is one of the finest examples of a classical Chinese garden.

Kangxi and Qianlong, both emperors in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), adored this garden and its surroundings.

Qianlong liked the garden so much that he built exact replicas in the Summer Palace in Beijing.

Wuxi's cultural essence is concentrated here.
