The scenery of Wuxi is not inferior to that of Suzhou and Hangzhou, so why is it not as well-known as Suzhou and Hangzhou?

Wuxi, a prefecture-level city in Jiangsu Province, referred to as "Xi", was known as Xinwu, Liangxi, and Jingui in ancient times. It is known as the "Pearl of Taihu Lake". Wuxi is located in the south of Jiangsu Province, on the Yangtze River Delta plain. It relies on the Yangtze River to the north, Taihu Lake to the south, and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal passes through Wuxi; in December 2018, it was rated as the 3rd best prefecture-level city in mainland China in 2018, and one of the 30 most innovative cities in China in 2018. The 17th best tourist destination city in China.

There is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. Wuxi lacks too much in the area of ??humanities. It's okay if it's lacking, it's not that it's not there, but it's willing to create new things instead of promoting the few remaining humanities. In essence, tourism products are still homogeneous. For example, night tours in Wuxi are also available in the surrounding cities of Suzhou, Nanjing, Taizhou, and Yangzhou. There are many ancient towns around Wuxi. Naturally, it is difficult to attract self-driving tourists to stay overnight or tour groups to stay. This is another problem. This requires the tourism bureau to take the lead in star-rated hotels and negotiate preferential conditions with travel agencies. In fact, travel agencies don’t care whether you live in Wuxi or Suzhou. Basically, the price/performance ratio is higher and there is more room for choice. It has nothing to do with the attraction itself! To attract self-driving tourists to stay overnight, Wuxi still needs to develop a "nighttime economy". This is related to the city's own tertiary industry services. Wuxi's own tourism has reached another level and needs to be refined and strengthened to attract high-end passenger flow. If there are not many projects at night, it will be difficult to retain tourists. We should do some interactive projects, experiential projects, and develop night tourism projects to retain tourists. Generally speaking, the city center of Wuxi lacks check-in spots such as Taichuli and Nanjing Road, Nanxiatang lacks the flavor of Wuxi, and Lihu Lake is surrounded by clusters of waterfront businesses and hotels, while the scenic spots are sparsely connected to each other. Shan, Lihu, Three Kingdoms City, Huishan, downtown, Nanchang Street, etc. are not connected in series, and the transportation cost is too high.
