Contemporary Art Museum: The internet-famous Ferris wheel and internet-famous wings check-in spot! You can take photos of the zebra crossing from the Ferris wheel, and the wing stairs are a treasure trove (recently fenced off for maintenance). You can take photos from the lawn next to it. It is also beautiful in the evening! 2. Golden Rooster Station 09: Sunset viewing point 1.0. You can sit by the lake, facing the Oriental Gate, and take photos while the scenery is real. It’s such a great atmosphere! 3. Eslite Bookstore: Take two quick photos at the top and bottom of the stairs and leave. You can read books anytime. There is a European town in front for shopping and eating. 4. Jinji Lake Large Photo Frame: Side light at noon, backlight in the afternoon, sunset viewing point 2.0, set as the end point.

Wind Garden: The seaside pier is so romantic that it makes you cry, and with the Ferris wheel as the background, the photo-taking rate is very high. The sun is shining in the afternoon, so you can take beautiful photos at will and reserve the C position in your circle of friends! Suzhou Sea is directly deified 6. Ligong Dike: Take a look at Suzhou's central CBD, which has a full seaside atmosphere. It looks even better from aerial photography! You can see golden light shining through the hole at 6-7 in the morning! 7. Jinshui Bay Pier: The sunset is stunning, highly recommended! On the second floor of 06 at the Jinji Station opposite, take a photo of the pier and the Ferris wheel. It’s really atmospheric! It’s a romantic moment in Suzhou~ 8.

Hello! I'm actually a student studying abroad in Suzhou! I live near Dongfangmen (东方之门)! Today, I'm going to introduce you to a restaurant that I ate delicious food at while living in Suzhou! The first one is 'Durian Pizza' and 'Mala Xiang Guo' located in the basement of the Muji building in the center of Suzhou (苏州中心) square! The two stores are right next to each other, so it'll be easy to find! Just hearing the name durian pizza might make you think it smells and you don't like it.. But it's surprisingly sweet and chewy and delicious! I can't eat Hawaiian pizza? But this one was really deliciousㅋㅋㅋ Everyone likes Mala Xiang Guo, but I think this one is the best! It's not in the department store, but in the basement of the Muji building next door!!!!!!!! The second is a dish called Gan Guo from Qixin Tian (七欣天)?! (干锅) This is the real Haidilao Mala Tang Mala Xiang Guo. I think you will definitely make a lot of money if you do business in Korea! It suits the Korean palate so well! It is a course meal where you add various seafood to the garlic and green onion base that is well-fried in chili oil, and then pour the broth and eat it like shabu-shabu or hot pot. ㅋㅋ It is really delicious if you eat it with various vegetables and meat~ You must try it when you come to Suzhou!! The third is a place that sells traditional Suzhou food located in Yueguangmatou (月光码头) near Jinjihu, Suzhou! (吴越荣记)! Is this the first time you have seen fried fish with its mouth open..? This is traditional Suzhou food!! Fish with cuts Fried and sweet and sweet sauce-like sauce is sprinkled on it! The ball in front is a potato ball~~ It's just delicious.. The last one is a restaurant called Huajie (花界) located in Ligongti (李公提)! They sell dim sum and various dumplings! The xiaolongbao here is really worthy of praise! You can eat while looking at the surrounding Jinjihu scenery, so it's fun for both your eyes and mouthㅎㅎ I found out about 4 places like this!! Next time, I'll come back with another good restaurant and good tourist spot! Thank you! #Suzhou #Overseas travel #Student life abroad #International student #Ligongti #China travel #Suzhou center #Mala xiangguo #Durian pizza #Qixintian #七欣天 #Wuyue rongzi #Dim sum #Xiaolongbao #Seafood #Bagji building #Dongbang gate #Jinjihu

In broad daylight on New Year's Eve, Ligong Dike is decorated with lights and is full of joy and sunshine, but there are few tourists. Perhaps it is only in the evening that the place will be crowded with people gathering for New Year's Eve dinner. The car passed through Ligong Dike, and the scenery along the way was beautiful. Although it was the coldest time of the year, it was very comfortable under the winter sun.

Strolling along the shore of Jinji Lake from Suzhou Center, I arrived at Ligongdi. After a few years, it seems that the dining shops on both sides have become much more desolate. The lakeside pavilion extends into the water, somewhat reminiscent of the Jixian Pavilion on the shore of West Lake. After passing Ligongdi and walking towards the subway station, I passed by the Fund Museum and went in to take a look.

Li Gong Di is truly a treasure trove , even the subway station is so artistic Unlike other subway stations filled with advertisements, this place is genuinely exhibiting photography works👍🏻 The exhibition features works from the popular miniature photography exhibition previously held at the Unique Space·Art Museum (South Ring store)🌸🌸 Now you can view them for free🆓 at the subway station✌🏻✌🏻 The reason for your confusion in miniature photography lies in reading too little and thinking too much — Yang Jiang's photography scenes magnify dreams, and the contrast of sizes, big and small, feels like entering a parallel world. The author hopes to express that in this healing world, everyone can cast aside their worries, find a moment of relaxation and indifference, and feel the beauty of life and the subtle touches in our existence❤️❤️ 🚣🏻‍♀️Tour route sharing Subway🚇 Li Gong Di South - View photo exhibition at the subway station - Exit to tour Li Gong Di Sculpture Park - Stroll along Li Gong Di - Ming·Art Museum Rainbow·Art Museum 🥗Dining recommendations |Ao Zao Guan·Hong Xuan Ya Ge |Mammamia Italian Restaurant (Li Gong Di branch) |De Yue Lou (Li Gong Di branch)

Ligong Causeway is one of the scenic spots of Jinji Lake and the core attraction. It is 1,400 meters long. It was built by Li Chaoqiong, the magistrate of Yuanhe County during the Guangxu period, hence the name "Ligong Causeway". Ligong Causeway is not just a scenic causeway. There are countless restaurants on the causeway. Walking along the causeway, you can not only enjoy the lake view, but also rest, eat and take photos in the restaurants. The lake, the water, the lights and the feasting complement each other, making you intoxicated. Suzhou people often drive here with their families for leisure consumption, gathering with friends, and stage the grand scene of "Along the River During Qingming Festival" in the new era. Now is a good time to enjoy flower viewing in spring. All kinds of flowers are in bloom and they are so beautiful!

Winter afternoon, follow the sun, towards the afterglow🌄 🚶🏻Walking route: Start from Ligong Dike South Station➡️Pass through the Art District➡️Stroll west along Jinji Lake➡️Suzhou Center for dinner and fountain watching⛲️ Quickly call your friends for a CityWalk in the warm afternoon sun!

"Mammamia" is an Italian restaurant that was selected as one of the "50 Top Pizza Asia - Pacific 2022 (Top 50 delicious pizza restaurants in Asia in 2022)". (The Shanghai store was ranked in the ranking. This Suzhou Li Gongdi store is the first store.) The pizza baked in the restaurant's pizza oven has a fluffy wheat aroma and a crispy texture of the dough that is irresistible! The Margherita, which I often order, has fresh tomato sauce that goes well with cheese and is incredibly delicious. I think it is the best pizza restaurant in Suzhou. The prosciutto and arugula pizza I ordered this time was also delicious! The spinach and pear salad and fried meat-stuffed olives also went well with Prosecco and were delicious 😊 The Italian owner opened this restaurant in Suzhou in 2010 for his son, who said he missed the taste of Italy. This store was renovated and reopened three years ago, and its location overlooking Jinji Lake is very nice. It is a very popular restaurant with many Western customers. 📍Mammamia Italian Restaurant (Li Gongdi Branch) ☑︎Address B1, B2, Li Gongdi, Industrial Park Zone, Suzhou City ☑︎Opening hours 11:30-21:30 ☑︎Access About 18 minutes walk from Xingbojie subway station #Overseas travel #China travel #Suzhou #Italian #Pizza #China

Ligong Dike is the only lake in the Jinji Lake in Suzhou. It was built during the Guangxu period and has retained the unique characteristics of Gusu. There are some commercial pedestrian streets and restaurants around Ligongdi. When you come to Suzhou, you will probably visit Ligongdi. Typhoon just left, we walked out of the door and enjoyed a moment of coolness in Ligongdi. The wind was still a bit big. Standing on the lakeside, the scenery of Jinji Lake was unobstructed. Only a few lotus leaves remained in the lotus pond, and the typhoon did not blow. Take these beautiful flowers. From the side of Jinji Lake in Ligongdi, one side is the Ferris wheel, and the other side is the center of Suzhou. It is the big pants that everyone said, taking a taxi from Ligongdi to the center of Suzhou about 2 kilometers, I still like to visit the center of Suzhou, I feel If you have nothing, you can go shopping all day. Ligongdi is also a great place to watch the night scene. When the weather is good, it is a very romantic thing to have a good dinner at the commercial street and come out for a walk along the Jinji Lake. Transportation: Bus No. 100, No. 142, and Jinji Lake sightseeing line arrive at the Ligongdi station.
