No need to travel to the United States to experience California State Route 1, Wuxi in Jiangsu province offers its own unique versions.

Shanshuixi Road is often called the Wuxi version of California State Route 1 by many netizens. This lakeside route is well-known for growing oranges, plums, and other local fruits. It's also a favorite spot for enjoying coffee among the mountains and waters, with more cafes than in busy city areas.
