Strolling along Shenyang Road (Yucai Road) immerses you in Wuxi's scholarly heritage. Century-old sycamores cast dappled shadows on historic academy buildings, where students bustle between classes infusing the street with youthful energy. As dusk falls, follow locals to sidewalk stalls for authentic xiaolongbao—bite into delicate wrappers releasing rivers of savory broth, a flavor that epitomizes Jiangnan hospitality.
