Wuxi is on the Shanghai–Beijing high-speed rail line. High-speed rail from Shanghai: about 40 minutes. High-speed rail from Suzhou: 15–20 minutes. Wuxi Sunan Shuofang International Airport (WUX) serves regional routes, but most international groups fly into Shanghai Pudong (PVG) or Hongqiao (SHA).

Wuxi Programme Questions

How much does a Wuxi programme cost per person?
An executive programme runs USD 2,000–6,000 per person for a 3–5 day Yangtze Delta itinerary (accommodation, in-China transport, guide, semiconductor / solar / textile site visits and all meals), with Wuxi normally a 1–2 day add-on within a Shanghai–Suzhou–Wuxi programme. An educational programme runs USD 2,000–6,000 per person for 3–4 days including Huishan Ancient Town, Lake Tai scenery and an industry briefing. International flights are excluded.
Where is Wuxi and how do groups get there?
Wuxi is in Jiangsu Province on the shore of Lake Tai, in the Yangtze River Delta. It is around 40 minutes from Shanghai and 15 to 20 minutes from Suzhou by high-speed rail, so it fits easily into a combined Shanghai, Suzhou and Wuxi programme.
What industries can a delegation visit in Wuxi?
Wuxi is known for semiconductors and integrated circuits, solar and photovoltaic manufacturing, and advanced or functional textiles such as sun-protective apparel. China Study Tour (CST) tailors the specific company visits to your group's focus.
What can we see in Wuxi beyond company visits?
Cultural highlights include Huishan Ancient Town, the lakeside scenery of Lake Tai, and gentle hiking trails in the surrounding hills, giving a relaxed cultural balance to the industrial parts of the programme.
How many days do we need in Wuxi?
Most groups spend 1 to 2 days in Wuxi as part of a wider Yangtze River Delta itinerary. One day allows a single industry visit plus a cultural site; two days lets you combine industry, culture and a more in-depth company programme.
How far in advance should we plan a Wuxi visit?
We recommend planning 3 to 6 months ahead. Corporate facility approvals, especially for semiconductor and solar sites, can take 8 to 12 weeks, and we advise avoiding Golden Week (October 1 to 7) for company visits.

Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) are the most comfortable seasons for lakeside scenery and outdoor walking, and are also good windows for company visits.
