Suzhou One-Day Tour丨Atypical Travel Route Recommendation

[GlassesUU] I had some time to visit Suzhou after the holidays, so I started a one-day tour and chose the gardens and Pingjiang Road that I had walked countless times. So let me share some atypical travel routes. · [StarEyes] Route: Canglangting Street - Wuqueqiao Road - Shiquan Street - Wangshiyuan Garden - Fenghuang Street - Dinghuisi Lane - Shuangta Vegetable Market - Pingjiang Road - Guanqian Street - Yiyuan Garden · [Dolphin] Canglangting In the spring of the fourth year of the Qingli period, Teng Zijing was exiled to Baling County. In the same year, Su Shunqin lived in Suzhou. Canglang Pavilion was his residence in Suzhou. The pavilions, towers, waterside terraces and corridors in the garden embody the romance unique to Chinese gardens, and the stained glass windows on the walls are particularly poetic. But this time I just passed by the gate and went to Wangshi Garden, without entering Canglang Pavilion. Opposite Canglang Pavilion is another small and elegant garden - Keyuan. From outside the Keyuan Gate, through the wooden moon-shaped door, you can get a glimpse of the elegance of the four seasons. · [Dolphin] Wuqueqiao Road + Shiquan Street Originally, this was an ordinary road. In recent years, with the resurgence of Shiquan Street, there have been many changes here. There is a big "Suzhou" on the wall where you can check in and take photos. In my memory, Shiquan Street was a jade carving street, but now it has become a real internet celebrity street. During the Spring Festival, the trees on both sides of the road were dressed in furry clothes, and large bouquet installations on the street added to the festive atmosphere. Most of the jade carving studios that were once familiar on the roadside are still there, and some shops have become internet celebrity video sites, coffee shops, and milk tea shops. · [Dolphin] Master of the Nets Garden The clear spring in the Master of the Nets Garden is the essence of the entire garden. The light of the sky, the shadows of the clouds, the pavilions and terraces on the water are beautiful in the sky and in the water. · [Dolphin] Fenghuang Street After leaving Wangshi Garden, walk along Fenghuang Street to the Twin Towers. I used to walk along Fenghuang Street often on my way to work, and I have memories of spring, summer, autumn, winter, and dinners and team-building events. · [Dolphin] Shuangta Vegetable Market Who knows? Suzhou’s vegetable market is already the next level. In addition to selling vegetables and food, the market also has cultural and creative products, and the decoration is artistic and warm. · [Dolphin] Pingjiang Road When I was in Suzhou, I visited Pingjiang Road at least 52 times a year. Later, I saw a lot of guides and videos about Pingjiang Road on the Internet, and I felt very unfamiliar with it. When I set foot on this road again, Pingjiang Road was still the same Pingjiang Road, but there were N times more people than before. So we walked to Daru Lane, turned out, and visited Teacher Ci Tong’s photography studio in Daru Lane. · [Dolphin] Guanqian Street This is a pedestrian street that exists in every city, such as Wangfujing in Beijing, Chunxi Road in Chengdu, Nanjing Road in Shanghai, etc. · [Dolphin] Yiyuan Private gardens in the south of the Yangtze River emphasize tranquility in a bustling environment, and Yiyuan is the most typical example. Yiyuan is just across the road from Guanqian Street. When I went there, there were small stalls in the courtyard. The wintersweets trees were in full bloom, forming a natural freehand painting against the backdrop of the white walls. The sunlight shines on the wintersweet flowers, like stars. A lovely big orange cat was also seen in the yard, sitting under a plum tree and next to the flowers, watching people coming and going. · [BlindfoldMonkey] This is not a typical Suzhou tourist green line, but I am following the footsteps of my previous life and re-experiencing this familiar yet unfamiliar city. It’s great that people come and go, and the world changes, but in fact you are still you, and I am still me. ·
