Shanghai Outskirts Spring Outing - Suzhou Two-Day One-Night Complete Guide

Both days we stayed at Ze Yi Ju Jing She (Suzhou Guanqian Street Pingjiang Road Store) which has a great location. Day-1 Xiyuan Temple - Liuyuan Garden - Guanqian Street - Pingjiang Road High-speed train: Shanghai Hongqiao - Suzhou Station (Suzhou Station is closer to the city center) Take the bus from the high-speed train station to reach Xiyuan Temple. 🎫: 5r Xiyuan Temple 🥣: The vegetarian noodles at Xiyuan Temple are delicious, Guanyin noodles 15r, Ruyi noodles 10r 🌲: You can stroll around Xiyuan Temple, besides the architecture and the Buddhist temple, there are also super many cute cats and pigeons, etc. You can bring your own cat treats to feed them (PS: The cats are stray cats, very gentle, but also pay attention to safety) 🚶: It's about 700 meters walk from Xiyuan Temple to Liuyuan Garden 🎫: Remember to book tickets online in advance for Liuyuan Garden 🌲: Liuyuan Garden is small and exquisite, with a view at every step. Personally, I think it's prettier and more photogenic than Zhuozheng Garden, and they are currently hosting a Camellia Festival, with super many beautiful potted plants and flowers 🚇: Head to Guanqian Street area 🥣: A local friend took us to a Benbang cuisine restaurant (Man Jiang Yu) which is delicious! Great value for money! 🌲: In the evening, we strolled around Pingjiang Road and Guanqian Street, lots of snacks and some special stores. Cat's Sky City Concept Bookstore (Pingjiang Road Store) Day2: Suzhou Museum - Zhuozheng Garden - Return trip 🥣: Had a delicious bowl of Xiangxiang·Changde Bowl Chicken near Guanqian Street, spicy food lovers will be thrilled. Also passed by a corn juice shop, which was also very good. 🚇: Take the subway to Suzhou Museum 🎫: Book about a week in advance, it's okay to be late, but you can't bring food or drinks inside 🚗: After visiting the museum, took a taxi to Zhuozheng Garden 🎫: Book tickets online in advance Zhuozheng Garden is very large, it takes about three hours to leisurely stroll and take photos. Cheongsams and ancient costumes are particularly photogenic, there are many rental and makeup shops around, pay attention to distinguish the good from the bad~ Return trip
