无锡,古称梁溪、金匮,地处长江三角洲腹地,东邻苏州,西接常州,南濒太湖,北依长江,是国家历史文化名城,素有 “太湖明珠”“鱼米之乡” 的美誉。这座城市拥有 3200 多年文明史,商末泰伯在此建立勾吴国、开凿伯渎河,开启了吴文化的先河,留下了 “泰伯奔吴” 的千古佳话。
无锡自古崇文重教、文脉昌盛,文天祥 “金山冉冉波涛雨,锡水泯泯草木春” 的诗句,勾勒出江南水乡的灵秀景致,苏东坡、王逢等文人墨客亦在此留下诸多传世佳作。作为吴文化的重要发祥地,这里拥有泰伯庙会、惠山泥人、锡剧等丰富的非物质文化遗产,其中泰伯庙会已入选联合国教科文组织人类非遗代表作名录。

Wuxi, formerly known as Liangxi and Jinkui, is located in the hinterland of the Yangtze River Delta, adjacent to Suzhou in the east, Changzhou in the west, Taihu Lake in the south, and the Yangtze River in the north. As a national historical and cultural city, it enjoys the reputations of "Pearl of Taihu Lake" and "Land of Fish and Rice". With a civilization history of over 3,200 years, Wuxi witnessed Tai Bo establishing the State of Gou Wu and digging the Bodu River at the end of the Shang Dynasty, laying the foundation of Wu culture and leaving the eternal legend of "Tai Bo's Journey to Wu".
Since ancient times, Wuxi has attached great importance to education and boomed with literary heritage. Wen Tianxiang's poem "Golden Hills loom through rain and waves, Xishui ripples with spring vegetation" depicts the elegant scenery of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River. Many literati such as Su Dongpo and Wang Feng also left numerous masterpieces here. As an important birthplace of Wu culture, it boasts rich intangible cultural heritage including Taibo Temple Fair, Huishan Clay Figurines, and Wuxi Opera. Among them, Taibo Temple Fair has been included in the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
Wuxi's natural scenery and cultural landscapes complement each other. Turtle Head Islet (Yuantouzhu) of Taihu Lake is the essence of Taihu's scenery, with cherry blossoms like clouds and rosy clouds in spring. The Lingshan Giant Buddha, 88 meters high, is the tallest outdoor bronze statue of Sakyamuni in the world. Together with the Zen Town of Nianhuawan, it forms a quiet and distant meditation resort. Huishan Ancient Town is lined with ancient ancestral halls, Dangkou Ancient Town features rich water town customs, and Nanchan Temple is flourishing with incense, all demonstrating the ancient charm and vitality of the city. In addition, special delicacies such as Jiangyin puffer fish, Wuxi small steamed buns, and horseshoe cakes make countless tourists linger and forget to return
