Yuantouzhu, or "Turtle Head Isle", is a popular tourist resort on Taihu Lake. It is located in Wuxi, Jiangsu province, and named after its unique topographic features – land surrounded by water on three sides, resembling the head of a huge Asian giant soft-shell turtle stretching its neck out of the water.

Yuantouzhu Park, in the most beautiful corner of Taihu Lake, is a gift from nature, where people can indulge themselves in the green hills and crystal-clear water.

There, visitors can enjoy the beauty and magnificence of Taihu Lake, blooming cherry blossoms in spring, vast green waves in summer, beautiful fallen leaves in autumn and tree branches covered by frost and snow in winter. The mist-covered Taihu Lake is amazing.
