The Qingming Bridge Ancient Canal Scenic Area is located in the center of Wuxi. Antique water town architecture and real old houses together form the block. There are scenic spots for visiting, as well as bars and restaurants. The night view is more beautiful than the daytime view. The houses with white walls and black tiles are lit up, and strings of red lanterns are reflected in the canal, attracting countless long guns and short cannons. Sitting on a cruise ship, from the Nanshan Temple Pier to the Kuatang Bridge section, you will see fashionable antique buildings and the Yangchun Alley commercial area. From the Kuatang Bridge to the Qingming Bridge is the essence part, known as ‘Jiangnan water alley, the unique place of the canal’. Seeing the archway of ‘Canal Ancient City’ on the right bank means entering the real historical block transformed from old houses. Along the way, you can find many waterside beauties’ benches and small terraces. Passing the Dagong Bridge, there is the China Silk Industry Museum on the right bank. Passing the Qingming Bridge, on the left bank is the Wuxi Kiln Group Site Museum. Further ahead to the Narcissus Taoist Temple, seeing the archway of ‘Shade of Tang Trees’ means the block ends here. It is recommended to take a cruise ship and get off at the Narcissus Taoist Temple, and then walk back to the Nanshan Temple Pier. Along the way, you can visit scenic spots such as the Narcissus Taoist Temple, Canal Culture Art Museum, Kangong Fire Extinguishing Association, and China Silk Industry Museum.
