- Wuxi Lingshan Scenic Spot
Lingshan Giant Buddha is situated in the national tourism resort of Taihu Lake, in Wuxi, covering an area of 30 hectare. After walking from the parking lot in the big orchard of Lingshan Mountain to the Zhaobi square, the magnificent Buddha is within eyesight, surrounded by mountains from three sides. The Buddha enjoys excellent geographical advantages, for it faces Taihu Lake in the south, backs Lingshan Mountain, with Qinglong Mountain on the left and Baihu Mountain on the right, being really the best place for Buddhism.

The construction of Lingshan Giant Buddha was finished on November 15th 1997, and there are altogether 100,000 eminent monks and disciples at home and abroad watching the opening ceremony.

- Lingshan Buddha
25 kilometres from the city's downtown area, the Lingshan Sakyamuni Buddha (Lingshan dafo) stands solemnly at the site of famous Tang Dynasty Xiangfu Temple, which was ruined after a series of ancient wars. The bronze icon is 250 feet long, 100 feet higher than the Statue of Liberty. Entirely made of tin and copper, the statue weighs more than 700 tons. On the left side, the Shiwuwei seal is supposed to reduce suffering in the world while the Yuyuan seal on the right delivers happiness. The character on the Buddha's chest represents solemnity and virtue. With the nearby Tiahu Lake and a beautiful range of hills, the Lingshan Buddha attracts the faithful, as well as travelers, especially from Hong Kong and Japan, the former of which are said to have contributed some $150,000 towards the construction of the site.

- The Purple Sand Teapot Museum
It displays teapots that come in different designs, sizes and colors and all these teapots are for sale, even the extremely unique and beautiful ones. Purple sand clay, of which these teapots are made, is originally a dark purplish red color, due to the high amounts of iron oxide. Nevertheless, the purple sand teapot comes in several colors; black, brown, red, purple, yellow, and green.

What makes purple sand teapots unique are of course, its material, and its characteristics for brewing tea. First of all, these teapots are able to preserve the rich taste of Chinese tea due to its porous sandy clay, being able to retain the tea’s full flavor and color overnight. Furthermore, this special teapot does not crack when heated on a fire or when hot boiling water is poured into it. The purple sand teapot is considered long lasting and is advisable to use over a long period of time, for the more fragrant the tea will be in an older pot. This teapot is also suitable for brewing English tea.
