Lihu Central Park is located by the shores of Lihu Lake in Wuxi, originally named European Town. The park is free of charge. It features numerous European-style buildings, attracting many couples for wedding photography, and also houses wedding photography studios. Additionally, there is an underwater world in Wuxi within the park. The main road in the park is shaped like an ‘L’. Starting from the right end of the ‘L’ horizontal, crossing the water bridge, you can see the Greek temple of Zeus supported by stone pillars. At the turning point of the ‘L’, there is a musical statue fountain with a white statue holding a trident in the middle of the pool. At the upper end of the vertical part of the ‘L’, there used to be a water curtain laser performance area. Many strategies and attractions mentioned that there were musical fountains and water curtain laser performances on weekends, but these are now mostly gone. Occasionally, the fountain is turned on at 3:00 PM on Sundays, but not every week. On both sides of the vertical part of the ‘L’-shaped main road, there are two branches. Going to the end of the branch in the northwest direction, you can see a Norwegian countryside church, a small wooden church with a thin cross on the roof. Going to the end of the branch in the northeast direction, you can see European Street, lined with European buildings covered with red or green tiles, with pointed roofs, where you can only take pictures outside, as some interiors have been transformed into hotels. Inside European Street, there is Disney Bridge, where you can see the colorful statues of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs on the bridge railings. Disney Bridge is very close to the underwater world in the park, and you can see the fairy tale-like exterior of the underwater world from the bridge. Wuxi Underwater World, also known as Lihu Park Underwater World, is located in the northeast corner of the entire park. It is small inside, and you can visit all the attractions with ease, making it suitable for entertaining and educating younger children. Here, you can see clumsy sea turtles, precious Chinese sturgeons, and lemon sharks with lemon-colored bellies. First, pass through the tropical rainforest area to see various strange-shaped tropical fish, then in the fish area specimen museum, you can see the skeleton of a sperm whale, followed by a 20-meter-long undersea tunnel to watch large marine fish swimming overhead, and admire the small fish around the reef in the cylindrical tank. To the west of Lihu Park, there is Turtle Head Isle (a straight-line distance of 2 kilometers), to the east, there is Lihu Garden (about 1.2 kilometers away) and Lihu Park (about 2 kilometers away), and to the south, there is the China Central Television Wuxi Film and Television Base (about 5 kilometers away). You can arrange your tour route according to your preferences. Opening hours: The park is open all year round from 06:30 to 22:00. Children under 1.2 meters (inclusive) are admitted free of charge. Free supplementary explanation: The above information is for reference only, and the specific details are subject to the disclosure of the scenic spot on the day. Essential tips: Besides some kiosks selling drinks, cold drinks, and children’s toys, there are few places to eat in the scenic area, so it is recommended to bring some dry food with you.


2. Lihu Park and Central Park of Lihu Lake are not the same place. The latter is located to the east of Lihu Garden and has a Ferris wheel inside. The former is located to the west of Lihu Garden. There is no Ferris wheel inside, only European-style buildings and an underwater world.
