Lake Tai is just like a bright pearl set in the Yangtze River delta. Lake Tai is linked to the renowned Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. The lake is also the origin for a number of rivers, including Suzhou Creek. The charm of Lake Tai is highlighted by the famous 72 peaks. On the endless expanse of blue water, sometimes, waves roll upon waves, sometimes it becomes quiet
like a mirror glittering on the lake with the 72 peaks dimly visible afar riding waves ups and downs. They make green hills and clear waters of Lake Tai look as attractive and beautiful as a piece of picturesque scenery. It is indeed a scene majestic in all its variety. And the Lake Tai Plain has a mild and moist climate, fertile soil and a network of waterways that nurture "a land of fish and rice".
It is fantastic to overlook Lake Tai from the scenic viewpoint in Xihui Park in the west of Wuxi. By climbing the summit of Dragon Light Pagoda inside the park, you will get a bird view of the harmonious combination between the city and the lake. The best place to view the beautiful Lake Tai is on the Turtle Head Islet. It is an islet stretching into the lake, whose shape is really like the head of a turtle protruding from the water. Lake Tai and the surrounding magnificence will bewitch your eyes when you climb on- to the Turtle Head Islet. When the soft breezes blow, waves roll, hills in the distance look like an overlapping landscape painting.
