Turtle Head Island

Located at the foot of Nandu Hill by Taihu Lake, the islet surrounded by water on three sides looks like the head of a turtle. In front of the islet, Taihu Lake extends to the horizon and hills rise one higher than the other.

Scenic spots on the islet include the Changchun Bridge, a lighthouse, the Chenglan Hall, Feiyun Pavilion, the Guangfu Temple, Guangming Kiosk, the Wanlang Bridge, and Langyuan and Luding Hills.

You can also admire the beauty of the lake and can be reached by a small arched bridge (Perpetual Spring Bridge) that is lined with cherry blossoms and particularly stunning in the spring. There are several small pavilions, temples and teahouses on the island, but undoubtedly the natural beauty of the lake and landscape are the prime reasons for coming here.
