Wuhu offers three distinct points of interest: Huizhou culture and merchant traditions at Jiuzi Ancient Town, leisure activities at Wuhu Fantawild Resort, and the lakes of Jinghu Park. First consider whether historic architecture, themed entertainment or a park with lakes should shape your stay.
Jiuzi Ancient Town: Huizhou Architecture and Merchant Traditions
Jiuzi Ancient Town comprises 658 buildings in the Huizhou style, with a total of 4,288 rooms. These include 42 preserved buildings from the Ming and Qing periods, with 318 rooms. The figures distinguish the entire complex from its historic subset: while the larger number describes the complex as a whole, the 42 buildings and 318 rooms refer to the preserved structures from those dynasties. For architecture enthusiasts, this provides a concrete indication of the site's scale and historical context. The preserved Ming and Qing buildings thus account for around six percent of the complex's buildings and just over seven percent of its rooms.
Jiuzi is also guided by the vision of a spiritual home for Huizhou merchants. The concept brings together resources from Wuhu's merchant traditions, history and intangible cultural heritage. This adds a distinct cultural focus to the site's architectural dimension. Those interested in the connection between architecture and history can therefore also understand Jiuzi through its merchant traditions and intangible cultural heritage.
Wuhu Fantawild Resort: A Wide Range of Leisure Activities
Entertainment is at the heart of Wuhu Fantawild Resort. It is classified as a national 5A-rated tourist attraction and includes theme parks, hotels, dining and other entertainment options. These elements make up the resort's wide-ranging offerings; the water park is just one part of them.
Fantawild Water Park is divided into eight areas: a children's area, a wave pool area, a funnel slide area, a family area, an interactive water castle, a high-speed slide area, a giant python slide area and a racing slide area. The layout brings together different types of attractions: some areas are named after pools or the water castle, while others feature different kinds of slides. This makes it easier to distinguish the water park's offerings from the resort's broader scope. As the layout may change during operation, check the latest information before your visit.
Jinghu Park: Greater Jinghu and Lesser Jinghu
Jinghu Park is considered Wuhu's oldest public park and consists of Greater Jinghu and Lesser Jinghu. The two lakes give the park a clear focus on its natural scenery. It thus complements Fantawild Resort's themed entertainment and Jiuzi's historic architecture with a perspective centered on parks and lakes. The options for shaping your travel interests therefore include distinct themes: merchant traditions and Huizhou architecture, leisure activities, or the two lakes of Jinghu Park.
