A hillside park combining Xishan and Huishan with the Dragon Light Pagoda, the Second Spring Under Heaven and Jichang Garden, close to the city centre.
Xihui Park is a combined scenic area formed from Xishan (Tin Hill) and Huishan (Hui Hill), a few kilometres from central Wuxi. It has been a recreation ground since the Tang and Song periods and holds several of the city's best-known sights: the Dragon Light Pagoda (Longguang Ta) on Xishan, the Second Spring Under Heaven (Tianxia Di'er Quan), and Jichang Garden.
Walking paths climb gently to the summit of Xishan, where the pagoda gives views of the city and, on clear days, Lake Taihu. The route links directly to Huishan Ancient Town for a full-day visit.
Many areas are free to enter with a reservation; the pagoda, Jichang Garden and some cultural sites have separate tickets or a combined pass. Confirm current ticketing on the park's WeChat account when booking.
