Sichuan Suining | There are many stories in the small city

Suining, a low-key 'China Habitat Environment Example Award' garden city, is a treasure tourist spot we accidentally discovered after being disappointed in Langzhong. 🏞Play: 📌Shenglian Island There is a river in the city of Suining, a lake in the river, and an island in the lake, which is Shenglian Island. To get to the island, you have to go through a riverbed tunnel, which is also very fresh. I have been through a seabed tunnel in Qingdao, and I didn't expect there to be a riverbed tunnel in this small city. There are tens of thousands of acres of lotus ponds on the island, you can take a boat tour of the lake at the port, or you can cycle around the island, there is a Marriott hotel on the island, it is very convenient to eat, live and play, and it is not very expensive. 📌Lingquan Temple and Guangde Temple There is such a saying among the people, 'The three sisters of Guanyin Bodhisattva, eat in the same pot and practice separately, the eldest sister practices in Guangde Temple, the second sister practices in Lingquan Temple, only the third sister practices far away, practicing in Putuo Temple in the South China Sea.' Both temples are ancient and full of charm, and they are said to be very effective, with a lot of incense. 📌Song Porcelain Museum The only thematic Song Porcelain Museum in the country, the exterior of the museum is all green like Song porcelain, with a thousand peaks of green, and there is a special exhibition area in the museum that introduces the application of Song porcelain in the life of the Song people, such as a kind of sky blue long-necked small porcelain bottle that is often placed on the desk of a literati, with a flower inserted. 🏩Stay: Both hotels are highly recommended, both are five-star, and the prices are relatively affordable. ⭐️One is the Marriott Hotel on Shenglian Island, which should be the most affordable Marriott in China. The exterior of the hotel looks like a lotus, surrounded by lakes on three sides, with a fruit garden below. We went in winter and organized activities for children to pick tangerines. There is an indoor playground and an outdoor water playground in summer, which is very suitable for walking children. The hotel's hardware is good, but the service awareness is very average. ⭐️The second is Hetang Suiyuan, a very Zen hotel, quiet and comfortable, no matter how noisy outside, it is another world once you enter the courtyard. Have a cup of tea, read a book, the wind is faintly fragrant, the hotel service is very good, I need to have a phone meeting temporarily, they specially found me a meeting room and turned on the air conditioner in advance. 🥢Eat: There are many delicious foods in Suining, and many people from Chengdu drive here to eat. Taode Claypot has a shop by the river, you have to go early, often queue up. There are also things like cold noodles, glutinous rice cakes, and barbecue are delicious. Pay attention to the little bit and you won't get lost, Tangtang will take you to pay attention to more travel information~
