Dear friends in Hungary, in 2025, a romantic appointment spanning thousands of miles is quietly kicking off! The opening ceremony of the Taihu Yuantouzhu International Cherry Blossom Festival in Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province, China, has been grandly launched in Budapest, the capital of Hungary. It is just to invite you to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Wuxi and start an unforgettable journey to China.

China has provided a considerate benefit for Hungarian citizens. The 30-day visa-free policy allows you to set off at will. There are numerous direct flights with affordable fares, making it easy to cross national boundaries and rush to this spring feast. China has a good public security environment, affordable consumption, and a well-developed transportation network, which will escort your journey.

Wuxi, located in the heart of the Yangtze River Delta in eastern China, embraces the vast expanse of the 30,000 hectares of Taihu Lake. It is a southern Jiangnan city where ancient charm and modern style blend together. Here is the cradle of Wu culture, witnessing the glory of the ancient “Silk Road” and the rise of modern national industry and commerce. It has also been honored as one of the happiest cities in China.

Every March, the Yuantouzhu Scenic Area in Wuxi is transformed into a dreamy place that attracts global attention. As one of the “Three Great Cherry Blossom Viewing Destinations in the World”, more than 30,000 cherry blossom trees bloom gradually along the mountains and waters. The pink and white petals are like clouds in the sky, gently reflecting in the clear blue waves of Taihu Lake, painting a picturesque and poetic oriental beauty, which draws tourists from all over the world.

The beauty of Wuxi is far more than just the cherry blossoms. There is Huishan Mountain, known as the “No.1 Mountain in Southern Jiangnan”, with lush green mountains and a charming landscape. There is also Huishan Spring, known as the “Second Best Spring under Heaven”, where the clear spring gurgles, flowing with thousands of years of ancient charm. In addition, there are “Intangible Cultural Heritage on the Tongue” delicacies such as Wuxi Xiaolongbao (steamed buns) and braised spareribs. One bite will instantly captivate your taste buds.

The Danube River has nurtured the romantic charm of Hungary, while the waters of Taihu Lake have nourished the delicate and graceful beauty of Wuxi. The architectural treasures of Budapest and the classical gardens of Wuxi, although with different styles, are both shining pearls in the treasure trove of human civilization.

The Wuxi Cultural Tourism Group shoulders the mission of “Letting the World Understand Wuxi” and is willing to use culture and tourism as a link to build a bridge of communication between Wuxi and Budapest, as well as the whole world. Wuxi and Budapest, the two “Pearl Cities”, although thousands of miles apart, are closely connected by their love for beauty and enthusiasm for life.

Come to Wuxi! Take a boat trip in the most beautiful part of Taihu Lake and feel the tranquility and vastness of the lakeside scenery. Walk in the classical gardens and appreciate the exquisite art of Jiangnan garden design. Participate in the Jiangnan cultural gatherings and immerse yourself in the poetic and cultural atmosphere, experiencing the leisurely and comfortable “Wuxi-style life”.

In 2025, we look forward to meeting you in Wuxi, working together to depict a brand new chapter of the mutual radiance of the “Pearl of Taihu Lake” and the “Pearl of the Danube River”. Let’s embark on this cherry blossom date in spring and leave behind an eternal and beautiful memory!
