For example, the Wuxi Meili Ruins Museum, which recently opened to the public in Meili Ancient Town, was built on the site of the Meili Ruins, while the Shuihu Culture and Art Center at Wuxi Studios showcases art products derived from the TV series Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Outlaws of the Marsh.

The Yuantouzhu scenic area also organizes exhibitions at its scenic spots to attract more visitors.
