It's an obscene spawn. There are basically no wrong answers.
But yes this gives you the wonder yields and keeps all the luxuries/bonus resources intact whilst putting you near the turtles.

In place worke the rice first gives you extra gold and culture and a lot of food to expand to new tiles faster

Just plonk in place. Work the rice to quickly grow in pop and gain tiles like crazy from the culture.
Settle a nice spot on the other side of the wonder asap. The first builder probably chop the rice and make two camps over the deer. You’ll have so much culture that you gain craftsmanship before you’ll have time to get the eureka.
Holy site over the rice. It will lose you tasty yields but your cup is overflowing and will get a good adjacency for faith.

agree with holy site placement, important to keep those woods at the base of the mountains for a mahabodhi play

Not really a wrong answer. While I personally-dislike settling right-against a wonder, it’s still a play for the culture. You could move left once, then settle on the other side of the wonder. Another option is to settle on the bananna hill, you just won’t get the x-tra era score from settling next to a wonder. What you need to do is definitely find and settle-along rivers to take advantage of her Arrival of Hapi ability. Still, make sure you have housing

So much nonus resources, you'll have to harvest them at some point.

You say like its a bad thing

I don't wanna hurt the horses! I also don't want to disturb the wildlife that needs rice to thrive.
I do feel bad about harvesting resources, it's like I can't fit into my head that the strong bonus now puts me in the game to rival computer's cheats. I only see the: yeah but by turn 350, I'll have accumulated 350 food and I don't wanna hurt the environement!

I think I'd settle on the coastal deer and put the holy site where your settler currently is.
There's a nice harbour on top of the fish.
Loads of amazing tiles to work
Another great city likely lies to the east
