Circling Xishan is always great

Make your way along Taihu

Diverse trails along Taihu with beautiful villages to explore

Highlight marks the main entrance to the park that also includes the caves. The park is popular in spring for its plum trees blooming. The caves are limestone karst caves and open to the public. The caves are illuminated with colorful lights - maybe a little bit kitsch ;-)

Baoshan Temple is a short way up the hill, away from the main road. You are greeted by a large, laughing, golden Buddha in front of the temple. Baoshan Temple is also known as Xianqing Temple, was built in the 6th century, destroyed and rebuilt in 1995.

Yuwang Temple was built to commemorate Duyu, the god controlling the floods of Taihu Lake. It is located just off the highway going around the island and you literally cycle by it if you follow the main road around.

This highlight marks the main entrance to the Daruyi Sacred Site, that contains the Guanyin Temple and the Large Guanyin Buddha. The Buddha statue stands atop a hill and faces south onto Tiahu Lake - and is visible from afar when approaching the area. The area has been a site for temples for centuries. The Guanyin Temple has a history dating back to the 4th century. The temple today is a rebuilt.

The Linwu Caves on Xishan Island are limestone karst caves that are open to the public. The main entrance (this highlight) is on the south side of the park that surrounds the caves. The caves are illuminated colorful (maybe a little kitsch). The park itself is popular for its plum trees and their bloom in early spring. Nearby, also worth visiting, is Baoshan Temple.
