Wuxi, Prefecture-level city in Jiangsu, China

Wuxi extends across 4,627 square kilometers along the northern shore of Taihu Lake, located 128 kilometers northwest from Shanghai in eastern China.

The city name originated in 202 BCE when local tin deposits depleted, with 'Wuxi' translating to 'Without Tin' in recognition of this geographical transformation.

The Donglin Academy stands as a historical center of learning where scholars gathered to study Confucian texts and engage in philosophical discussions.

The Wuxi Metro system connects major districts while Sunan Shuofang International Airport provides direct flights to multiple destinations across Asia.

The Grand Buddha at Ling Shan reaches 88 meters in height, making it one of the largest bronze Buddha statues in China.
