Traveler reviews
M. Véaigh
★★★★★a year ago吴山天风 (Wúshān Tiānfēng) is a poetic term used to describe the scenic and natural beauty of Wushan Hill (吴山). It literally translates to "Wushan Heavenly Winds" and it refers to the refreshing breezes and the pleasant, tranquil atmosphere experienced atop Wushan Hill. If you're looking for a less touristy area near Qinghefang Historical and Cultural District, this is it. It is a very charming park full of pretty traditional-style buildings and mountain paths. There's a few museums as well. The upper part of the park costs 30 RMB to enter and contains the City God Pavilion as well as some other attractions. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here.
