Using the different public transportation is affordable.

If you compare with the prices in europe you'll get a lot for your money by going with bus here.

You'll see buses nearly 24/7 in Wuxi and other cities in China. They are small and can be quite noisy because the maintenance of the buses are not the best. I remember a dangerous trip from Suzhou railwaystation to the museum of China in Suzhou where I hit the ceiling with my head as soon as the bus passed humps in the road. However it is a cheap way to get from one place to another in many chinese cities.

You put 2 yuan coins in a small container near the bus driver and then you are able to sit on the bus as long as you wish. You could use 2 yuan when you are going to the big Lingshan Buddha.

Avoid using the public transportation in the morning or afternoon when people are going to and from work.

Since a couple of years ago most of the public transportation are showing a display in english. See more here>>>
