Suzhou is an ancient city worthy of the name, enjoying the reputation of "heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below". The ancient city is still on the original site, which is rare at home and abroad. In fact, during my trip, I found that the beauty of Suzhou is not entirely in the gardens. Like Beijing, I should visit more alleys and bridges in Suzhou. Because the name of every alley has an allusion. (Note that there are signs in every alley in Suzhou. Pay attention to the direction and allusions. In a word, Suzhou is a book that needs to be savored. Suzhou's mountains, rivers, bridges, towers, streets and alleys all contain beautiful legends and philosophy of life, which will arouse people's endless reverie. Well, without further ado, let's start my trip:
Good: Being away from home is the most important thing. There are three kinds of buses, tricycles and taxis in Suzhou. You can take a black car if you have the courage, but I don't recommend it. ) Because Suzhou Railway Station is undergoing renovation recently, buses are hard to find and the journey is short. It is recommended to queue up for a taxi. Starting price 10 yuan. The bus has a "tour" line and can reach all the scenic spots. However, these tours are available. Taxis can go straight to the door, but many buses can't go straight to the door because the road is not too wide. Only tricycles are most suitable for lazy people. But the tricycle driver's reputation is not very good, so you must be careful about the route and distance first, and you must bargain well. In addition, drivers often take you to some scenic spots, restaurants and hotels. Don't believe it. The shops he introduced were all informal and dark. You must stick to your opinion. I met a coachman. He lied to me that there was no restaurant in Guanqian Street. He wanted to take me to a beautiful street and some water upstream. As a tourist, I am really stupid. I can recite everything they say: "Do you want to ride a tricycle, 1 yuan, food street, beautiful street, water town." Now that I think about it, it's really ridiculous. The beauty of Suzhou has really been vilified by these people.
As the saying goes: How much hope there is, how much disappointment there is, but this disappointment is not the disappointment of Suzhou gardens and the ancient city of Suzhou, but the disappointment of the management of Suzhou Railway Station. When I got off the train, I saw a big construction site with many scalpers like blood-sucking mosquitoes in summer. If I see you, I will definitely see blood. Those who stay to solicit customers or tour to solicit customers, nobody cares. There are many people waiting for a taxi, but there is no one at the bus stop. ..
If you take a taxi, you must wait in line, so as not to be refused (because sometimes it will be refused when you are near, indicating that the relevant departments are not well managed). The bus stop is just across the street, but it looks hard to find because of the reconstruction. You can take bus No.2 and No.529 to the downtown area. If you want to go to Zhouzhuang Tongli, cross the road and cross the artificial iron bridge, you will see a bus stop called Pingsi, where you can take a bus. But what I don't understand is why the station management didn't use eye-catching signs to mark these, but made commercial advertisements in conspicuous places. With the development of market economy to such a degree, it is really necessary for relevant personnel to think deeply about what it means to serve the people.
Ok, let's get down to business. I spent two nights and three days visiting Suzhou. The routes I have taken are: Lion Forest and Humble Administrator's Garden, Pingjiang Road Historical Street, Zhongyi Wang Fu, Suzhou Museum, Guanqian Street, Shiquan Street, Wang Shi Garden, Liuyuan, Tiger Hill, Hanshan Temple and Panmen Scenic Area. The arrangement is as follows:
Day 1: When I got off the train, I took a taxi to the Lion Forest Jiahe Business Hotel on Garden Road in the city center to check in. With the warm introduction and help of the reception staff, I decided on the tourist route and went to Liuyuan and Tiger Hill by bus first. In the evening, I went to Guanqian Street and had dinner at Songcrane Tower. Now that I think about it, it is absolutely correct for me to choose this hotel as a stop on my trip to Suzhou. I am very grateful to the receptionist for her hospitality. )
The next day: Early in the morning, I heard the birdsong I hadn't heard for a long time. This kind of feeling makes people feel very comfortable in the depths of the Peach Blossom Garden. The garden road in the morning is beautiful. There are towering French phoenix trees, sunshine shuttling among leaves, and old people from Gusu who come out for morning exercises in twos and threes. They look happy. You will also hear magpies crowing which can bring good luck, and you will also see Suzhou girls who are soft-spoken by Wu Nong. Here is a picture of the morning light in Gusu.
On the Garden Road, I ate a noodle restaurant (Weijiao noodle restaurant) opened by Suzhou locals, and went to Pingjiang Road and Ganjiang Road. Go to Hanshan Temple in the morning, return to the city at noon, stew in Lvyang wonton (reasonable price, good taste), take a nap at the hotel, then go to Panmen Scenic Area at 305, and then return to Suzhou Museum and Zhongyi Palace (both next to the hotel). Take bus No.202 to Shiquan Street for dinner in the afternoon and go to Netscape Garden in the evening.
On the third day, at 7: 30, the Humble Administrator's Garden opened with few people, and then went to the Lion Forest.
All the trips are over.
The detailed traffic routes are as follows:
1, to Lion Forest and Humble Administrator's Garden: You can take 1/ Tour 2/202/529 and other routes. When you get off at Lion Grove and Humble Administrator's Garden, you will see an Armani barbecue shop. Go south, walk east from the supermarket of Tongtianfu Hotel and Shizilin Temple Lane for 3-5 minutes to reach Shizilin and Huayuan Road, and you will also see Suzhou with excellent reputation.
2. Humble Administrator's Garden and Loyal Wang Fu of Suzhou Museum: You can reach Humble Administrator's Garden and Loyal Wang Fu of Suzhou Museum by walking north from Lion Forest along Garden Road for 5 minutes. You will also see the Wumen Family Hotel in the middle. If you want to go to Pingjiang Road, you can walk east from Shilin Temple Lane between Jiahe Hotel and Lion Forest for 3 minutes, cross the small bridge, turn left and go straight.
3. Go to Guanqian Street: Go to Guanqian Street from Lion Forest and Humble Administrator's Garden, take a bus stop, take a tricycle to 5 yuan, and walk 10 minutes or more. If you go to shiquan street and wangshi garden, you can take bus no.202. They are all very close. Because I'm in charge of all public transportation,
4. Stay in the park: you can take the route of 1.
5. To Hanshan Temple: You can take bus 30 1 in front of Pingjiang Cultural Center south of Huayuan Road and walk150m under Heshan Bridge.
6. Go to Panmen Scenic Area: You can take 305 directly in front of Nanping District Cultural Center on Huayuan Road.
7. To Tiger Hill: Take a taxi from downtown to around 25 yuan, and take bus 2 and 1.
Eat: I basically eat Suzhou's famous noodles and snacks in the morning these days. For example, the noodle restaurant on Garden Road and the fried dumpling in Youlong are all in the city. A better meal? The famous Wumen family in Huayuan Road, Songhe Tower in Guanqian Street. There are also some small shops in shiquan street.
Food and drink recommendations:
1. Noodles and snacks: Wiki Noodle Restaurant on Huayuan Road, Youlong fried dumpling by Hayes, Zhu Hongxing opposite Suzhou Museum, and Huang Tianyuan in Guanqian Street. 5-8 yuan per capita is very good.
2. Restaurant: Needless to say, the famous Deyue Building and Songhe Building are in Guanqian Street. Others are:
(1) Bifengfang Chuanfu Building, which specializes in improving Sichuan cuisine, has moderate price and sufficient food, and often needs to wait for a comeback, with a per capita 50 yuan. In addition, Chuanfulou has an unlimited buffet morning tea supply of 18 yuan/person every morning, and many local people go to eat it, which is very cost-effective.
② Good snacks, one in Bifengfang and one in tea garden, are affordable. Recommend good fried rice or 18 yuan set meal, 20 yuan per capita.
③ Furenfang Mengzi rice noodles, with its unique flavor and chicken juice of 3 yuan noodles, range from 6 to 40 yuan.
(4) Mama Rice Noodles Chain Store, with many varieties of rice noodles, each bowl is 5 ~ 10 yuan, and rice noodles can be added for free.
The famous Soviet-style specialty dishes are sweet and sour mandarin fish, shark's fin in clear soup, sesame oil eel paste, watermelon chicken, whole chicken with mother oil, Taihu water shield soup, emerald shrimp bucket, stewed lotus and so on.
Suzhou snacks are also world famous. Dried bean curd with thick sauce, pine nut candy, rose melon seeds, shrimp sauce, jujube paste biscuits and lard salted cakes are all very famous. You must try them.
The famous Suzhou-style restaurant is the first to promote Deyue Building and Songhe Building.
Deyuelou (No.27 eunuch lane) is characterized by changing menus in time due to different seasons. There is cherry juice meat in spring; In summer, there are steamed shad, maple hooves, steamed meat with lotus paste powder and so on. There are chestnuts, braised chicken and oily meat in autumn; In winter, there are eight treasure bones, boiled herring and assorted warm pots.
Songhelou (Guanqian Street 14 1) was built in the Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty, and has a history of more than 200 years. It is the representative of traditional Su cuisine. Sweet and sour mandarin fish, snail shrimp, braised pork and tofu are the specialties of this restaurant.
In fact, there are many restaurants with similar prices. Why do you choose these recommendations is also because they have been confirmed by many friends and have a good reputation. I prefer noodle restaurants and snacks, as well as Songcrane Tower.
Accommodation: Now I recommend several hotels with different prices, good service attitude, quiet accommodation (none of them are on the roadside) and convenient urban location as follows:
100-200 yuan budget hotel is the first choice:
Suzhou Jiahe Business Hotel
Address: No.24, opposite the south gate of Shizilin, Yuanlin Road, Pingjiang District
/
Tel: 0512-6777911.
Price: 148- 168
Highlight: Foreign-related tourist hotel, adjacent to Humble Administrator's Garden, Loyalty Palace, Subo, Pingjiang Road, Lion Forest, Guanqian Street, etc. , located in the antique garden road, convenient transportation, white walls and tiles, surrounded by green trees, reasonable price, safety and satisfaction. It is actually the best place to travel.
Preferred hotels with the price of 200-300 yuan:
Suzhou renjia grant restaurant
Address: No.66, Xiatang, Luogua Bridge, Lindun Road, Pingjiang District
Tel: 05 12-67778888
Price: 298 yuan-1580 yuan.
Highlight: A luxury garden-style business hotel located in the center of the ancient city, facing the prestigious "Guanqian Street" partition wall, combines tradition and modernity perfectly.
Above 300 yuan:
Youngor Central Hotel
Address: No.63 Gongxiang, Guanqian Street, Pingjiang District/
Tel: 05 12-65 159998
Price: 450 yuan -2000 yuan.
Highlight: luxury business hotel. Located in the most prosperous Guanqian area, the transportation is extremely convenient and the environment is comfortable and pleasant.
Suzhou is a tourist city, so there are many hotels with different prices, but for tourists, it is best to live in the urban area. Personally, I think the location should be convenient, because the gardens in Suzhou are mainly in the urban area. Choose some budget hotels, and the price is relatively suitable between 100- 150. It must be a little unreasonable if the conditions are too low, and a little unbearable if they are too high. But the most important thing is safety, quietness and peace of mind. Cattle, taxi drivers and tricycles introduced me. Anyway, I decided not to go. I would be killed if I went. Personally, I prefer Jiahe Hotel, which is quiet in the hustle and bustle, especially the comprehensive service and moderate price.
Other remarks: 1. Many people recommend a day trip or hotel at the exit of the railway station or bus station. Don't worry about it, as long as you have a little hesitation, he will haunt you for a long time!
It is best not to take a tricycle in Suzhou. Don't listen to the recommendation of foreign drivers such as water town folk garden, Yiyuan Garden and Hehuayuan at extremely low fares. Needless to say, those places are not fun, and drivers can get kickbacks from your contributions.
3. All buses in Suzhou can accept Shanghai Transportation Card and Wuxi Taihu Pearl Card, and the fare is 10% off.
There are fake monks in the North Temple Pagoda and some temples in Dongxishan, extorting foreign tourists on the grounds of fortune telling.
Suzhou specialties are basically some silk and Soviet-style sweets and cakes. Silk shops are concentrated near Zhongshan Building in the south of Xiejia Bridge, and there are some before the view. The best sweets and cakes are Caizhizhai, Daoxiang Village and Yeshou River, all in Guanqian Street.
6. The traffic in Suzhou is very convenient. Basically, you can go to tourist attractions and urban areas by taking the tourist prefix route.
7. Be sure to do a good job of the return time, tickets and other things, and don't go back when the time comes. There are two ticket outlets in the urban area: 1. Guanqian Street under Deyue Building (poor service attitude). 2. Connect the ticket office across the bridge, 30 1.
Conclusion: Well, my strategy is finished, and there are some places in the article that borrowed the previous strategy of the donkey friend. I hereby declare that I have no intention of plagiarism, aiming at serving the public.
I once took a real trip, but I was too ignorant to write it down. I'll regret it when I get old. The greatest pain in the world is the second time. If God can give me another chance, I will say three words to Suzhou: I love you. If I have to add a time limit to this love, I hope it is 10 thousand years, hee hee!
