Suzhou Taihu Sanshan Island Travel Guide Is Sanshan Island fun?

Coming to Suzhou is nothing more than visiting Suzhou gardens and eating Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs. There is also a famous landscape in Suzhou, that is Taihu Lake. Taihu Lake is famous because it is called Penglai Wonderland and attracts many tourists. But there is another little-known island in Taihu Lake, Sanshan Island.

Sanshan Island is located in the Taihu Lake southeast of dongshan town, Wuzhong District, Suzhou City, about 50 kilometers away from Suzhou City. Perhaps because of its remote geographical location, Sanshan Island is rarely seen in Suzhou's tourist attractions, which makes Sanshan Island still maintain a relatively original ecological appearance. Up to now, many fishermen live on the island, and they are as independent as heaven.

Sanshan Island, named after an island connected by three mountains, covers an area of about 1.6 square kilometers. Although the three peaks are not high, the highest is only more than 80 meters, but they have the trend of overlapping mountains. Wu Zhuang, a poet in the Qing Dynasty, once praised the poem: "The long dragon meets three mountains, and the zejue lasts for a long time; Shuiyang is divided into settlements, and Penglai is really in the world. "

From Suzhou, you can take the bus to Luxiang Wharf, and then take the cruise ship for about 10 minutes to get to the island. Because it is surrounded by water and there are no motor vehicles on the island, it seems to have a feeling of isolation, but the roads on the island are well built and gentle. If you want to travel around the island, you can rent a rickshaw, which is very convenient.

Sanshan Island has few tourists, beautiful environment and good ecological environment, and is a good place for summer vacation and leisure. Historically, Sanshan Island is also called "Little Penglai", which is closely related to the island's natural scenery and human history.

Sanshan Island used to have "the victory of ten scenic spots", but now there are ancient pavilions, Banbi Peak, stacked stones, Zodiac Stone and Niubeiyan, all of which are scenic spots on the island. You must visit the island. Although it is not as famous as Dongshan and Xishan in Dongting Lake area of Taihu Lake, I personally feel that the scenery here can be compared with it, and it is also rich in products.

There are many ways to travel in Sanshan Island. You can climb mountains or play along the road around the island. If you climb a mountain, you will pass a very steep mountain road on the way, which adds a lot of challenges and fun to the journey.

Walking to the west of Shanxi, you can see a peak with a particularly unique shape, which is the "Half Peak", one of the top ten old scenic spots in Sanshan Island. Banbi Peak is about 20 meters wide and 10 meter high. It is very steep and has the reputation of "the best stone scene in Jiangsu Province", which makes people wonder at the ingenuity of nature.
