Yangshan Stele, which is 40 meters in height and more than 9677 tons in weight, has the history of over 600 years. This stele was build In order to display the filial respect to his father Zhu Yuanzhang (The founder of Ming Dynasty) and stabilize the common aspirations of the people, Zhu Li called up 100,000 skillful craftsmen to build Yangshan Stele. It only spent 13 months to finish the profile and the stele was ready for further fine sculpture.
Unfortunately it has been given up halfway finally. Why the stele has not been carried to Nanjing Ming Xiao Ling and played its role? It was said Peking was a flourishing plcase for emperors and at that time the whole society was stable, so Zhu Li made all efforts on the constructions in Peking, therefore, the site was not taken into use any more.
But my dad told me is because the stele is too big, and Zhu Li was waiting the winter time and roads got frozen to move to Ming Xiao Ling, but Nanjing is never too cold to have roads frozen, so they was not be able to move it at all. :)
Better to take taxi or rent a car.

The Wuxi train station is conveniently located just outside the Central Business District, and a short 8 yuan taxi ride from most locations around the city. Many city buses also have a terminus right outside the station. Express buses heading to other provinces also leave from the bus station alongside the railway station.
The train system is very efficient and reliable. The train is one of the most convenient ways to arrive in Wuxi. The Train Station (huoche zhan, 火车站) is naturally located on Train Station Road (Che Zhan Lu, 车站路). The train line to Wuxi runs from Nanjing through Wuxi to Suzhou and then Shanghai.
There is a ticket office at the station (phone [0510] - 82301033). There is another ticket office on Renmin Lu (人民路). This ticket office (phone [0510] - 82708838) is just east of Wuxi’s main north-south road, Zhongshan Lu (中山路).
You can also book tickets at Liangxi Lu (phone [0510] - 85868704) which is outside of the Central Business District on the west side of the Grand Canal in the area particularly popular with Japanese visitors.
If you book tickets on the phone (or ask your hotel to reserve them for you), then you can ask to have them delivered to you. There is usually an extra 10 yuan fee per ticket.

City Wall (Admission: 45CNY) - Nanjing City Wall, constructed during the Yuan and Ming Dynasties between 1365 and 1386, originally stretched over 30km which made it the longest city wall in the world. Now, with about two thirds of the wall still intact it still remains the longest city wall in China. We could walk on the city wall and feel the history of Nanjing.
