A panorama view of Wuxi splendor

Wuxi has released a set of stunning photos of different parts of the city in Jiangsu province, which can be experienced using virtual reality headsets.

The panoramic photos have been released in a bid to promote how livable Wuxi has become thanks to the continued investment of the municipal government.

The city bordering Taihu Lake was once just a small fishing village, but has since grown to become a major city with a population of over 6 million.

Its status as China's first demonstration zone for sensors and internet of things technology has helped Wuxi's economy enjoy sustained growth.

But the government has also made sure to use this extra revenue to invest in environmental protection and cultural projects to ensure that Wuxi develops into one of the best cities to live in in China.

The photos showcase the success of this approach, with each of the photos showcasing the beauty of one of the city's five districts and two county-level cities.
