Suzhou misty rain enters Gusu, this place is the most Jiangnan

❤️This city with a history of more than 2,500 years, a place praised countless times by literati and poets, with its flowing water under small bridges, pink walls and black tiles, is like a gentle Jiangnan woman, hazy and affectionate. Although it has gone through thousands of years, it is still elegant and moving. ❤️Suzhou has both the prosperity and bustle of a modern city and the classicism and tranquility of the traditional Jiangnan region. There are small bridges, flowing water, boats passing by, and bells ringing in mountain temples when the day has gone by. There are quaint streets and alleys, and exquisite garden art. There are misty rain in spring and colorful autumn. Suzhou has too many heart-pounding scenes. 🏠Accommodation: It is recommended to choose a hotel near the subway station in the Guanqian Street and Pingjiang Road area. 🚗Travel: subway + shared bicycles + walking, supplemented by taxis. 🚩Suzhou two-day itinerary recommendation: DAY❶: Tiger Hill➡️Hanshan Temple➡️Xiyuan Temple➡️Liuyuan Garden➡️Qilishantang➡️Wenchang Pavilion➡️Baoen Temple➡️Qilishantang (night view) DAY❷: Humble Administrator's Garden➡️Suzhou Museum➡️Lion Grove➡️Pingjiang Road➡️Xiangmen➡️Luohanyuan Twin Towers➡️Jinji Lake 👉【Must-visit attractions tips】 📌Huqiu: It has a history of more than 2,500 years. The Yunyan Temple Pagoda is quite tilted, so you can take a look at it. The ticket price is 60 yuan. 📌Hanshan Temple: Because of a poem, it has become a must-visit place when visiting Suzhou. Because the temple is small, there are always crowds of people. The ticket price is 20 yuan. 📌Xiyuan Temple: Compared with the crowded Hanshan Temple, the Zen-filled Xiyuan Temple has much fewer people and is very suitable for taking photos. The ticket price is 5 yuan. 📌Liuyuan Garden: One of the four famous gardens in China. Compared with the Humble Administrator's Garden, there are relatively fewer people here. The ticket price for this small garden is 55 yuan. It is recommended to choose between Lion Grove and it. There are too many gardens in Suzhou, and they are basically like this. Just find two representative ones and take a look. 📌Qilishantang: I think it is beautiful at night. The best shooting position is at Xinmin Bridge, but there are many people and the place is small. In order to set up the tripod to shoot the night view, I almost waited until the lights were turned off to occupy the camera position. 📌Bao'en Temple: The persimmon tree outside the Beisita subway station has no persimmons this year. It is nice to take pictures of Beisita from Beita East Lane. 📌Wenchang Pavilion: Located in the Taohuawu Cultural District, the main purpose of going there is to take pictures of Beisi Pagoda and Oriental Gate in the same frame on the 3rd floor. 📌Suzhou Museum: You need to make an appointment 7 days in advance, otherwise you may not be able to go. The main collections are the Pearl Relics Pagoda, the Painted Four Heavenly Kings Wooden Box, and the Secret Color Porcelain Lotus Bowl. 📌Humble Administrator's Garden: One of the four major gardens in China, many people go there, either go early or late, otherwise it will be full of people. The ticket price is 80 yuan in the peak season and 70 yuan in the off-season. 📌Lion Grove: There are many rockeries in the garden with various shapes, and it is known as the "Rockery Kingdom". The garden is not big, so you can come out after a stroll. The ticket price is 40 yuan in peak season and 30 yuan in off-season. 📌Pingjiang Road: This is the most well-preserved area in Suzhou Ancient City. Similar to Qili Shantang Street, it is also crowded with people on weekends. 📌Xiangmen: The ancient city gate rebuilt in 2012. You can climb up the city wall to overlook the Oriental Gate. There will also be light shows on major holidays. 📌Jinji Lake: The night view is super beautiful, with a distant and close view of the Oriental Gate. Food recommendations: Suzhou-style noodle soup: We recommend time-honored brands such as Tong De Xing and Yu Xing Ji. Dumb Fried Pan-Fried: thin skin, lots of fillings, and delicious soup. Squirrel fish: a representative of Suzhou cuisine, with beautiful appearance and sweet and sour taste. Fried eel in oil: the eel is fresh and the sauce is rich. Aozao noodles: delicious soup base and chewy noodles. The best seasons to visit Suzhou are spring and autumn when the climate is pleasant. There are many gardens in Suzhou, and it is recommended to choose 2-3 classic gardens to visit. Suzhou Museum is closed on Mondays and reservations are required in advance. The Suzhou dialect is Wu, which is quite different from Mandarin. It is recommended to learn some common expressions in advance. Optional attractions: Hanshan Temple: Experience the artistic conception of "Hanshan Temple outside Gusu City, the bell rings at midnight reaching the passenger ship". Liuyuan Garden: One of the four famous gardens in China, famous for its exquisite architectural layout. Lion Grove: famous for its rockery, feel the charm of the "Rockery Kingdom".
