Many of the event's participants visited several homestays in Wuxi's Xishan district, Huishan district, Binhu district, and Yixing the day before the event. They talked with the owners and inspected the rooms, the environment, transportation convenience, and supporting facilities, which are what tourists paid the most attention to when choosing homestays.
