Remember to bring warm clothes🧥 2️⃣ For Suzhou gardens, besides the Humble Administrator's Garden, you can also visit the Couple's Retreat Garden and the Master of Nets Garden this season. The plum and magnolia blossoms are just right🌸 3️⃣ If it's your first time taking a night tour🌃 of the gardens, I recommend the Master of Nets Garden, which features live Kunqu opera performances. 4️⃣ You must book the Suzhou Museum in advance!! It's currently by timed reservation, at least 2 days ahead!🕐 5️⃣ The Suzhou Museum is closed on Mondays, and entry stops at 4 pm. Opening hours are from 9 am to 5 pm🕐 6️⃣ Pingjiang Road is next to the Humble Administrator's Garden, a hotspot for gourmet food🍜. To be honest, the bamboo tube milk tea is just for good photos. 7️⃣ On Pingjiang Road, you can take a ride on a sculling oared boat for 40r/person💰, with the trip lasting about half an hour🕐. I recommend going at dusk when the lights and shadows of the oars create the most romantic atmosphere. 8️⃣ Teacher Wu Liangying's Suzhou Pingtan can be found at the 'Pipa Language Pingtan Teahouse' on Pingjiang Road, with 5 shows in the afternoon and 3 in the evening. You need to queue on-site to choose the showtime and seats. If you're in a hurry, I suggest going early to book⚠️ 9️⃣ Next to the 'Suzhou' log on Pingjiang Road is the Seven Percent Sweet. You can directly navigate there🧭 1️⃣0️⃣ For night views🌃 on Shantang Street, it's best to arrive around 5 pm🕐, as dusk is the most beautiful. 1️⃣1️⃣ Shantang Street is free, and it's a 3-minute walk🕐 from Exit 3 of Shantang Street on Subway🚇 Line 2. 1️⃣2️⃣ Suzhou doesn't have an airport🈚️. Suzhou Station is in the city center, closest to the Humble Administrator's Garden, Suzhou Museum, and Pingjiang Road. 1️⃣3️⃣ The ancient towns around Suzhou are a bit far from the city center, but Mudu Ancient Town and Tongli Ancient Town are accessible by subway🚇. 1️⃣4️⃣ If you're visiting the ancient towns, I suggest setting aside a whole day🕐. You can stay in the town and I recommend taking a covered boat🚢. 1️⃣5️⃣ When visiting Suzhou, I recommend cycling. Buy a 'Suzhou Hand-drawn Cycling Map' to experience the local atmosphere🎆. 1️⃣6️⃣ If you want to eat vegetarian noodle dishes in Suzhou, I recommend going to Xiyuan Temple, with prices at 10/15r💰 per bowl. 1️⃣7️⃣ For a proper meal🍜, I suggest going to Qian Yuman. A nostalgic restaurant near Shantang Street, it's a rising hotspot with must-try dishes: ✅ Signature Bamboo Net Duck ✅ Tri-color Shrimp Tofu ✅ Grandma's Braised Egg and Pork Knuckle ✅ Peach Blossom Ten Miles Wine 1️⃣8️⃣ Eslite Bookstore📖 is at Jinji Lake and has Suzhou's most beautiful staircase. 1️⃣9️⃣ For Suzhou cuisine🍜, I recommend going to the Shuangta Market, a popular food market with lots of delicious and affordable options. 2️⃣0️⃣ For travel, I recommend using the subway🚇, especially on weekends and holidays when Suzhou can really get congested.EMMIE SCHULTZ14
Explore Suzhou Ancient City in a Different Way: 20 Essential Tips to Avoid Tourist TrapsSuzhou/20 Essential Tips to Avoid Tourist Traps❗ - You should always make a trip to the south of the Yangtze River. Suzhou is like the gentle moonlight of the south. - ✅After many trips to Suzhou within a year, here are 20 tips to avoid tourist traps, hoping to provide some references for friends. - 1. Suzhou does not have an airport, but it has two train stations: Suzhou Station and Suzhou North Station. 2. Suzhou North Station is a high-speed train station, which is relatively far from the city center. It is recommended to get off at Suzhou Station, which is in the city center and more convenient for transportation. 3. The roads in Suzhou are mostly straight, making it easy to navigate, so even those with a poor sense of direction won't easily get lost. 4. Pingjiang Road is the most well-preserved ancient river street in Suzhou Ancient City. Don't forget to visit Da Ru Lane, Lilac Lane, and Niu Family Lane. 5. Besides Pingjiang Road, you can also take a sculling boat ride on Shantang Street. 6. There are many gardens in Suzhou, and you must visit the Humble Administrator's Garden. If time permits, Canglang Pavilion is also worth a visit. 7. For those who plan to visit gardens at night, it is recommended to go to the Master of Nets Garden, where there is a live Kunqu opera performance. 8. Suzhou Museum is open from 9 am to 5 pm, closed on Mondays, and stops admitting visitors after 4 pm. 9. For Shantang Street, take Metro Line 2 to Shantang Street Station and exit from Exit 3, which is closer. 10. For Suzhou's night scenery, besides Shantang Street, you can also visit Jinji Lake. There is a musical fountain show on weekends starting at 7:30 pm, lasting 20 minutes. 11. Eslite Bookstore is next to Jinji Lake, featuring the most beautiful staircase for a photo opportunity. 12. You can listen to Kunqu opera and Pingtan at the Suzhou Kunqu Museum, Pingtan Museum, Shantang Kunqu Theatre, Shantang Academy, etc. 13. Besides Zhouzhuang, Mudu and Tongli ancient towns are also worth staying for a few days. 14. The entrance fee for Lingyan Mountain in Mudu is only 1 yuan, which is an absolute bargain for a scenic spot. 15. For late-night snacks in Suzhou, you can go to Jingde Road Wu Qu Fang, Nanyuan Road Nanyuan Bridge South, and other places in the city center. 16. If you're going to the Twin Towers Market, be prepared to queue. If you're going just for the sake of checking in, it's not highly recommended. 17. If you want to eat noodles in Suzhou, I personally recommend Tongde Xing for its authentic taste. The Mengzi Cross-Bridge Rice Noodles from old Suzhou are also worth trying. 18. The signature dish, Squirrel-shaped Mandarin Fish, is really good. It's my personal favorite, and you can hardly go wrong with it. 19. For accommodation, you can choose to stay near Pingjiang Road, which is close to the attractions. 20. For those buying souvenirs, you can consider purchasing some Suzhou-style pastries and various local candies.

Suzhou Travel Guide Simple and easy to understand📍Suzhou three-day two-night itinerary | Suzhou is charming at any time👀||| Day 1🎈: Arrive at Suzhou Station at 19:12, proceed to the hotel for check-in. Take Line 4 for just 1 stop to reach Beisita Station, then walk for 10 minutes to the hotel. After placing the luggage, take a bus to Shantang Street, where the night view is stunning, and it's bustling with people (the bus stop is right outside the hotel | The bus stations in Suzhou are all built in a retro style, which greatly surprised me as an outsider🤩. On the bus, I also met a warm-hearted Suzhou grandpa, who knew we were tourists and kindly told us where to get off and where to start exploring Shantang Street more appropriately). Day 2🎈: Visit the Humble Administrator's Garden (80 yuan/person) and the Suzhou Museum (free reservation, closed on Mondays, be sure to book in advance) in the morning | The hotel I stayed at is just 2 bus stops away from the Suzhou Museum, and the Humble Administrator's Garden is closely adjacent to the Suzhou Museum. In the afternoon, head to Pingjiang Road, which is 5 bus stops away. Pingjiang Road is a must-visit place in Suzhou, as the saying goes, 'A single Pingjiang Road, half of Gusu city,' and it lives up to its reputation. Had dinner at a restaurant named Taohuayuanji on Pingjiang Road (see picture 7), which was affordable, and also tried the 'Emperor's Smile' favored by Wei Wuxian. Additionally, I happened to come across a celebrity filming, heard someone say it was Chen Zheyuan, but unfortunately, I did not see him. In the evening, went to the Gate of the Orient, took photos with the iconic building of Suzhou, and watched the fountain show at Jinji Lake (for specific show times, you can follow the Suzhou Industrial Park official WeChat account. I thought I had missed the fountain⛲️ show, but it turned out I just caught the 8:30 one). Day 3🎈: In the morning, visit Beisita (free), which is about a 10-minute walk from my hotel, then take the bus for 13 stops, about 20 minutes to reach Hanshan Temple (18 yuan/person), and saw the 'Night Mooring by Maple Bridge' from the books. The itinerary on the third day was not rushed, only visiting these two places, slowly savoring the charm of Suzhou, then returning to the hotel to pick up luggage, and heading to the next destination.OwenFletcher81

Missing the Suzhou Museum in Gusu is really like making a trip for nothingWhen it comes to museums, Suzhou is definitely one of the most unique. It was one of the earlier museums I visited. When I first saw it, I was amazed that a museum could be made like this, it was really stunning! ✅ Three Main Exhibition Halls ◾ The Wuzhong Pagoda is divided into the Pagoda Radiating Auspicious Light and the Treasures of Tiger Hill. It displays precious cultural relics found from the Ruiguang Pagoda during the Eastern Wu period. ◾ The Treasures of Wu are divided into Morning Light Faintly Shining, Contending Lords of Spring and Autumn, Brocade of the South of the Yangtze, and Rhythms of the Metropolis. It showcases archaeological artifacts unearthed in Suzhou. ◾ The Elegance of Wuzhong is divided into Study Long Objects, Treasures of Pottery Governance, Ingenious Strategies for Carving Jade, Divine Work of Carving, Elegant Study Room Affairs, Casual Pastimes, Ink Play in the Thatched Cottage, and Brocade of Floating Life. It displays cultural relics collected and appreciated in Suzhou during the Ming and Qing dynasties. ✅ Treasures of the Museum 1️⃣ The Pearl Relic Stupa A container for offering relics, connected with pearls and other treasures, the stupa is 1.22 meters tall and made entirely of nanmu wood. Especially the dragon, which is made of over 36,000 pearls strung together with silver thread. 2️⃣ Ginkgo Wood Painted Statues of the Four Heavenly Kings The inner wall is inscribed with the words 'Recorded on April 18th of the Dazhong Xiangfu sixth year', and the outer wall of the wooden case is painted with images of the Four Heavenly Kings, bearing the artistic legacy of Wu Daozi, the painting sage of the Tang Dynasty. 3️⃣ Relic Pearls Relic pearls are crystalline remains left after the cremation of ancient enlightened monks. There are a total of 9 relic pearls in the gourd bottle. 4️⃣ Gold Script on Blue Paper 'Lotus Sutra' Discovered in the Ruiguang Pagoda, the sutra is written in gold on blue-green paper and is illustrated with patterns. 5️⃣ Secret-Color Porcelain Lotus Bowl The porcelain bowl consists of a bowl and a stand, with an even glaze. The outer wall of the bowl, the surface of the stand, and the ring foot are all decorated with double-layered lotus flowers, raised like shallow bas-relief. It presents a jade-like warmth and is considered a standard piece of secret-color porcelain from the Five Dynasties to the Northern Song period. ✅ Courtyard Architecture The final masterpiece of world-renowned architect I.M. Pei, with a design concept of 'Chinese yet modern, Suzhou yet new', presents Suzhou-style architecture in a completely new way. Simple geometric lines, the use of black, white, and gray, and the interweaving of light and shadow create the beauty of a dance, outlining an ink-washed Jiangnan... Mr. I.M. Pei called it: 'My little daughter'. In fact, compared to the artifacts in the museum, this building has also become a collection. ◾ Fragmented Mountain Faux Rocks: Originating from the landscape paintings of Mi Fu in the Suzhou Museum, Taihu rocks are selected and cut, and then torched to represent the depth of ink in ink paintings. ◾ The water courtyard in the central atrium: Starting from the classical Chinese garden, it incorporates elements of pavilions, bridges, platforms, and sand, maintaining the charm of Suzhou-style gardens. ◾ Small scenes in the exhibition halls: The combination of Taihu rocks and pomegranate trees, with a view at every step and the use of light and shadow, many of the museum's finishing touches are small and exquisite, very photogenic. 📍204 Northeast Street, Gusu District, near Beisita Station on Subway Line 4 ⏰Opening hours: 9:00-17:00 ➡️Suzhou City Tourist Information Center (opposite the museum) offers 3 free stamps ➡️Museum cultural and creative store, any consumption can get 15 stamps 📌Reservation Method Free reservation through the official WeChat account of Suzhou Museum, entry with ID card. It's very hard to book, be sure to reserve 3-4 days in advance‼️phaedra_9911

The instructor teacher is the teacher of the Suzhou Museum, the explanation content is easy to understand, and the story and moral behind many important cultural relics are explained in detail, which can combine the ancient and modern and different dynasties and historical styles. At the same time, I also punched in a lot of photo attractions, which is very suitable for couples or ancient costumes to take pictures. It is very charming 🥳
According to the time at the service desk, there is a special person to explain, too many people have a small headset sound. But the time is relatively short, the main difficulty is to make an appointment, and the last bookmark is not very meaningful.
The tour guide spoke very well, especially the architectural characteristics were very beautiful, and the historical story was very vivid, so that we illiterate people learned a lot, and then bought a museum West Hall explanation
The museum is integrated with modern art and traditional culture. The tour guide is rich in knowledge and has a comprehensive experience. The attitude is very good, very kind, and pays attention to interaction with tourists. In addition, the tour guide was patient. He was originally in a special traffic jam in the whole scenic spot during the holidays. We were more than half an hour late, but he was still waiting for us patiently in the hall. She has a good understanding of the history of the museum and the culture of the world. The explanation is rich. Not only did the exhibits themselves add many additional stories. Bring us a good experience. The main feature of the museum is its design sense, but there are also two national treasures that open our eyes to luxury. There are other expensive products are priceless treasures, the whole exhibition hall from the overall perspective, it seems to be biased to the Western style but look at it carefully, there are many allusions and literati dreams, such as the cold window octagonal pavilion or the palace folding gui. Or make a beautiful landscape of Lushan Waterfall, Lotus Pool and so on. As a closed-door work of famous international designers, you can imagine the importance of the entire pavilion. But remind friends who want to come to this Suzhou museum to see mainly his architecture and design, there are not many exhibits.
Guide Yue is a local in Suzhou. It is very interesting and vivid. I admire his dedication. I don’t feel that I am completing the work. I always keep the enthusiasm. His explanation letter is clear. Subo’s exhibits are not many, but his knowledge reserves are too much. It takes more than two hours to complete. Ctrip's tour guide has maintained a good standard and continues to support
Subo Benguan, I have been to the two times before, and I have been to the horse and flower viewing. This time I brought the children to ask the tour guide to explain. The layman watched the lively, the insider janitorial road, the tour guide aunt took a look and saw many doorways, Subo Benguan design is very beautiful, worthy of the master's work, although there are not many collections, But the treasures of the two town halls are also worth it. They are very exquisite. They combine the collections and interspersed with the humanities and history of Suzhou. After the visit of the exhibition hall, it has been seriously overtime. Thank you very much for the patient and meticulous explanation of the tour guide. Let us get knowledge.
Fortunately, this explanation has Mr. Zhang with two children, Mr. Zhang not only learned a lot, but more importantly, can speak in a language that the children can understand, and the children listen to the whole process. Mr. Zhang also takes pictures very well, loves children, and the scenery that takes us to see is not only beautiful, but also looks for good-looking photos from an angle. Very recommended
Subo directly rushed to the architectural cultural relics design of the integration of the full expression of the explanation of the aunt is very good. Every explanation reflects the love of life, Subo, Suzhou and super will take pictures. Especially thanks to the delay of something, the explanation of the aunt waited for us. Hours, thank you so much. The explanation is very meticulous and professional.
