The circle-Taihu Lake hike is one of the hottest fixtures in Wuxi’s annual sports festival in Jiangsu province.
This year, the hike is expected to witness more than 13,000 participants taking part on April 26. The hike has three categories: an experience hike (9 km), a standard hike (30 km) and a challenging hike (50 km).
The hiking route has received praise from participants in previous years as the "most beautiful hiking route in Wuxi".
As an example, the route of the experience hike is as follows:
Wuxi Grand Theater – Grand Theater Road – Mixc Mall – Jinchengwan Park – waterside walking path in Jinchengwan Park – Lihu Park – Lihu Bridge – Wuxi Grand Theater (about 9 km)
