The latest self-help tour guide in Suzhou

DAY 1 takes a taxi to the Suzhou Museum in Northeast Street (I.M. Pei's pen-sealed work, the most beautiful museum in China) for about 15 yuan, and then walks along to Zhongwangfu, and then goes forward to Humble Administrator's Garden, one of the four famous gardens in China and one of the world cultural heritage Suzhou gardens. After visiting here, ask about the location of Lion Forest, which is not far from Humble Administrator's Garden, with a maximum of 211 meters. It is also a world cultural heritage and Qianlong's favorite place. Then you can actually go to Jinji Lake in the park. Suzhou Ferris wheel park has a night garden, which is open until 9 pm. Dinner can be served in Jinji Lake Ligong Dam, or Suzhou Yuanrong Times Square, Jiuguang Department Store and the left bank of the lake near the Ferris wheel. You can eat a lot and it is very good. Take a walk in Jinji Lake after dinner, and then take the subway directly back to the hotel, which is comfortable!

DAY 2 can go west, Hanshan Temple-Tiger Hill. "a night-mooring near maple bridge" has a great reputation, but it is expected to be disappointed, because I think Hanshan Temple is the most disappointing place in Suzhou, but you have to go because, like Shaolin Temple, it is the dream of many people, and you will regret it for a lifetime if you don't come. It's a 5-minute walk from the hotel to the bus stop, and 146 is the Tiger Hill. The mystery of the tomb of Fu Cha, the leaning tower of the East and the tomb at the bottom of the sword pool is absolutely shocking. (The only reminder, don't go to Dingyuan! Do you remember the name? It's Dingyuan! ! A group of harmful people everywhere infringe on the image of Suzhou, which is a deceptive place. Suzhou people don't know it. They have cheated a lot recently, so they all know it.) You can take a water cruise from Tiger Hill and go back to Stone Road in the waters of Shantang Street. If you can take a walk in Qili Mountain Pond, it will be really enjoyable. Suzhou is completely displayed in front of you, so you can consider walking from Stone Road Shantang Street to Tiger Hill. Go straight on one line and play again. Moreover, Laochangmen is very beautiful. The style of old Suzhou, Changmen Hengjie or Suzhou Minguo Street are all buildings of the Republic of China.

it's very convenient to go out to the hotel in the morning and take the subway to suzhou amusement land in the new district. Shishan Road is very atmospheric, which is completely different from the exquisiteness of Suzhou's ancient city and full of food. Suzhou amusement land can play for 2/3 days. The roller coaster is great. If you have time, you can visit the Lingering Garden, where Cloud Capped Peak is one of the four famous peaks in China. In fact, you can also walk around the old city of Suzhou, which is limited in height, but well protected. There are beautiful garden schools in Suzhou No.11 Middle School, including Ruiyunfeng (one of the four famous peaks) and Suzhou Middle School, with mountains in it.

And the Golden Eagle, Dayang, Xinsu People's Shopping Mall, People's Shopping Mall, Hundred and so on in Guanqian Street. In the era of harmony in the park, Jiuguang Department Store, over the rainbow Department Store on Suhui Road, and Suzhou Impression City. We walked there at night, and the lights were good on the way for a walk.
