Don't spend all your good time in gardens-unless you have a deep garden complex. If you like photography, you will be blessed.

Coffee houses with a "long history", SOLO, which is famous for its "professionalism", and "Heterotopia", where young rock artists gather together, are all in the period.

11. Young artists want to see a small theater and usually go to Kewen.

21. Subang cuisine, recommended Xiehe, is located in Fenghuang Street, and the price is reasonable, but it looks poor if it is a formal banquet. Wumen's family has a good reputation. Near the Lion Forest, the food is authentic and the garden-like environment is very good. In case of rainy day, sitting in a box by the water, watching the rain hit the banana, I feel good.

It's completely free to walk up the mountain and back the mountain. Don't go in from Lingyan Mountain Hall. After going up the mountain, you can go to eat the famous vegetarian noodles, spend one yuan for the entrance ticket, and enter the temple, next to which there is a noodle tube. It is said that the display of the noodle restaurant has not changed for more than 31 years, and the old master has been working there, and the taste of the noodles has not changed, only the price has changed, and now it is 15 yuan for a bowl.
27. Apart from staying in economy hotels, there are many youth hostels. The oldest one is made by Xiangwang near Shiquan Street, but for historical reasons, the taste is not the best.

If people are in the new area, there is SEG. If people are in the park, there is an electrical appliance square in the Times Square business circle.
45. I'm tired of visiting Shiquan Street and Pingjiang Road, and the community square is very popular. Jinhuayuan, Linglong Building, etc. can all meet interesting small shops. The "neighborhood center" of the park has a microclimate, and it is also one of the "specialties" of the park.
46. Bus No.68 used to be the only double-decker bus in Suzhou. It can take about 21 kilometers for 1 yuan, which is super cost-effective. Now there are also double-decker sightseeing buses in the park.
