This is an expansive property about 74 acres! The Buddha and all the other associated sites were beautiful and extremely impressive. This is a vacation site NOT to be missed. I especially loved the 'Hand of Buddha' bronze statue!! I also did over 40 selfies w/ red coat clad locals who thought I looked like somebody famous!!

While all the main areas are relatively nice and picturesque. My friends and I truly found this park to be amazing when you strayed from the main paths of the typical tours and such. Use the main locations on the map as goal points, but we found so many old stone stairways and unused "clear" paths that led to some really amazing views. Favorite part easily had to be the bamboo forest which many people actually miss! It's far to the left of where 90% of the people enter, and is honestly a much better way to start your hike. Really nice day trip would def recommend!

We visited at night to check the lights, it was quite nice, interesting area to walk around. Having small alleys, shops selling various items, and best part was a boat ride through the canal, this was quite nice. There are eateries around, but we didn't try as we had dinner already.

This a huge palace and one has to put on shoe coverings to enter. The ceilings are golden and extremely ornate. Fantastic for photography.

I had read the historical novel of the `Romance of the Three Kingdoms' written by the famous Chinese novelist, Luo Guanzhong and infatuated with the many characters depicted in his novel.
Against a backdrop of this turbulent period in history were the numerous battle scenes of trickeries, plots and art of strategy deployed and fought among the characters of the three power blocs: the Cao Wei (曹魏）, Shu Han（蜀汉）and Eastern Wu（东吴). Prominent characters like Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Zhu Ge Liang left an indelible impression in me.
But it was my trip to this studio city that reinforced me the scenes of the historic epoch, the armored attire donned, the design of the battle launches, the horse riding and fighting. I felt going on a time tunnel to that period of survival and struggle. Beautiful waterfront scenery and magnificent historical architectural structures. The enactment of battle scenes evoked historical feeling of the past.
While it was all artificial and man-made, the restoration of the artifacts were made to resemble the historical facts. I think it was a valuable history lesson and my family enjoyed the visit.

If you're in Wuxi, it's worth coming here to spend a late afternoon and evening. You can walk the entire length of the district, stopping to shop, get a drink, or have dinner in one of the many, many restaurants here. Lots of history here that the central gov't luckily didn't tear down, but preserved. Unfortunately the historical buildings get lost in the kitschy commercialization. However, it's fun for what's it's worth especially after dark when things take on a more appealing allure.
Be forewarned that parking is limited and access by car really horrible. This is gridlock central as too many people, who drive really poorly, try driving through clogged streets to get here. It will be better to park some distance away and walk in. We got there early and parked in the centrally located parking lot, but getting out later that night took 30 minutes to travel 1/4 mile.
Even so, it's a fun place to visit and shouldn't be missed. Cheers!

As with San Guo City (which is connected to this and Tang city), there is an entire town of buildings and film sets. Get the English map (there are not English guides) and walk around the town. There are signs with English on many of the buildings that explain what it was used for in the TV show, but without being familiar with the show, it's not a big deal. Shui Hu has a set version of a portion of the Forbidden City which was cool. Also, be sure to watch the live shows. The live shows are really the highlight of this area. I particularly enjoyed the "Exploring Cinematic Stunts" show.

Visited this park via a travel tour company. Didn't have too much time here. What we saw was really pretty. Parts of it made us feel like we were transported back many years. It would have been a nice place to just sit and reflect about life for hours.
Can't remember if we had to pay to enter the park as we just followed the tour guide.
