Destinations in Yangshan town are drawing extraordinary attention, as tourists can enjoy the conveniences of modern travel services while experiencing the peace and tranquility of rural life.
Yangshan town, located in the west of Wuxi next to Taihu Lake, is the home of an ancient extinct volcano, Anyang Mountain, which offers ideal growing conditions for its famous honey peach, and also provides the region with rich hot spring resources.
Tourists can enjoy stunning peach blossoms covering an area of 23,000 mu (1533 hectares) during spring season, experience the rural charms of the town, as well as enjoy a hot spring while being enveloped in the fragrance of peach blossom.
Other newly-launched project highlights include the Orient Champ, which is the first project in China that integrates modern agriculture, high-end real estate and accommodation, with leisure and entertainment activities.
