Get off at "Huqiu Road Station" or "Hufugarden West Zone North Station," and it's just a short walk to the scenic area. - Subway: Take Subway Line 2 to "Shantang Street" Station, then ride a bike for about 15 minutes (about 3.5 km) to reach the scenic area directly. You can also enjoy the street view of Suzhou along the way, which is quite pleasant. 🌟Tour Route: - South Route (enter from the South Gate - exit from the North Gate): This route is very classic. When you enter from the South Gate, you will first see the inscription of "The First Mountain in Wu Area," which is said to be written by Mr. Ieoh Ming Pei. You must take a photo! Then go to the Wanjing Villa, which is full of exquisite bonsai, as if you have entered a fantasy world of bonsai. Further ahead is the Duanliang Hall. This building with a history of more than 600 years does not use a single nail. It is entirely connected by bamboo and wood nails. It is really amazing, and people can't help but marvel at the wisdom of the ancients! Continue to stroll and you can hear the legend of Pillow Stone, imagining the romantic story of Tang Bohu and Qiu Xiang here. Then you will arrive at the Thousand People Stone, also known as Thousand People Seat. Feel the historical charm of "Master Sheng preaching and stubborn stones nodding." Then go to the Sword Pool. It is said that King Helü of Wu's sword is hidden here. The pool is clear and the stone walls are steep, which is very mysterious. Finally, don't forget to check in at the iconic Tiger Hill Pagoda. This leaning but not falling tower is known as the "Leaning Tower of Pisa of the East," which is really shocking! - North Route (enter from the North Gate - exit from the South Gate): If you want to save effort, choose this route. Enter from the North Gate and go downhill all the way, which is much easier. The order of the attractions is the opposite of the South Route.
