Introducing Lake Tai
Lake Tai is a freshwater lake dotted with some 90 islands, and features abundant plant and animal life. Surrounded by rolling hills and tea fields, it’s been a popular tourist destination for the Chinese since the early 20th century. The lake is also famous for its strangely eroded rocks, a staple of traditional Chinese gardens. The northern part of the lake, which includes Turtle Head Isle, is easily visited from Wúxī, while the southeastern shores include the more rural areas of Dōngshān and Xīshān, both accessible on a day trip from Sūzhōu. On the west side of the lake is Yíxīng County and the pottery centre of Dīngshān.
