The Brahma Palace is located on the eastern slope of Mt. Lingshan in Wuxi. It is mainly built of stones and columns. Combining traditional Chinese cultural elements and Buddhist architectural elements, the palace looks stunning. It is comprised of an art corridor, exhibition halls, meeting halls and banquet halls. The altar hall in the palace is a multi-functional meeting hall that can accommodate 2000 people. It also functions as a concert hall. A fixed performance called Ji Xiang Song is held here each day. The palace also houses many precious cultural relics and art treasures such as Dunhuang frescoes, Dongyang wood carvings and Jingdezhen porcelain.

Clay figurines are the most renowned folk craft in Wuxi. Since most of the clay figurines are made on the Huishan Ancient Street, Wuxi clay figurines are also called Huishan clay figurines. In 2008, Huishan clay figurines were included on the list of Chinese Intangible Cultural Heritage. The China Academy of Clay Figurines gathers many works made by well-known clay figurine sculptors. One of the most well-known works is “A micro-panorama of the Grand Canal” with a length of nearly 180 meters (591 feet) long.

Part of the Grand Canal, Wuxi Grand Canal runs through the entire city and is more than 40 kilometers long (about 25 miles). The canal reflects the beautiful scenery that ranges from Wuqiao to Xishuidun and Nanmen to Qingming Bridge. Qingming Bridge is the best location to see the beautiful views.
