Yuantouzhu, literally means Turtle Head Resort, and is located in the southwest suburbs of Wuxi City. It is a peninsula on the shore of Lake Tai, where a huge rock protrudes into the lake. It appears as if a turtle is floating and raising its head above water. That is how this place got its name.
Turtle Head Resort is famous for its natural scenery, surrounded by hills and girdled by the lake, it occupies the most beautiful corner of Lake Tai's overall scenic area. It has long been known as the No. 1 scenic spot in Lake Tai. Guo Moruo, the eminent poet, composed a poem in praise of the place: " The Supreme Sight of Lake Tai, after all, lies in Turtle Head Isle", This poem added a certain charm to the spot, and spread its fame beyond the region.
By taking a seven-sail fishing-style pleasure boat, you can enjoy the beautiful views of the big lake, and take in the scenery with its unique sailing boats.
