Suzhou Taihu Lakeshore National Wetland Park, also known as Taihu Park (Water Windmill), is distinct from Suzhou Taihu National Wetland Park. It is adjacent to the Dongshan and Xishan scenic areas, starting from the water windmill entrance of Taihu Scenic Boulevard in the east and extending to Taihu New World in the west, spanning a total length of 2 kilometers and covering an area of approximately 5 square kilometers. It is also the core section of Taihu Scenic Boulevard. The large water windmill standing by Taihu Lake is the park’s iconic attraction and a great spot for photography enthusiasts to capture Taihu Lake.
The park is connected by eight major landscapes: Windmill Silhouette, Pier Exploration, Leisure Double Pavilion, Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, Gull and Egret Habitat, Reed Maze, Fishing Boat Serenade, and Sunset Tide Listening. It primarily serves as a habitat for birds and fish.
