      Last time I went to the Dongshan Carved Mansion, they charged me 60 yuan for a ticket. Inside, there was just one building, and the garden had hardly any landscaping. A total rip-off.

        Entrance fees at tourist attractions are generally way too high.

          I've been there too. I came back thinking the most beautiful part of Taihu Lake is in Wuxi, including Lihu Lake and Changguangxi Wetland. That's probably why CCTV chose the less famous Wuxi for its Spring Festival Gala.

              Why bother entering through the main gate? A one-way cable car ticket should be much cheaper.

                I mainly wanted to do some hiking and wasn't keen on taking the cable car.

                  There are free hiking trails available, though.

                    They're closed off now, you can't get through!

                      It seems Suzhou isn't too keen on developing the Taihu Lake area. Wuzhong District doesn't seem to prioritize it either. After all, it's tough to make tourism development there truly stand out.

                        I feel Wuxi has done a better job with development. Over at Guangfu, there were a few black-headed gulls, and even though that area is free, I still ended up going to Yuantouzhu (Turtle Head Isle).

                          I think there used to be an aquarium over there. That was a real rip-off.

                              Am I right in guessing this spot is managed by a private tourism company?

                                They really need to step up management and set higher standards, or it'll hurt Suzhou's image as a cultural tourism destination.

                                  Wuxi is truly the pearl of Taihu Lake! There are so many stunning, free scenic spots like Lihu Lake, Taihu Lake itself, Huishan, and the Grand Canal. Plus, the Wuxi part of Taihu Lake is dotted with peninsulas, islands, mountains, lakes, wetlands, and parks. This picture shows Wuxi's '18 Bends' along Taihu Lake, a place I often go cycling.

                                      Over 200 yuan for two adults and two kids.
