Suzhou, referred to as "Su" for short, was called Gusu in ancient times and has the reputation of "paradise on earth". Suzhou is beautiful, euphemistic, fresh and natural. A kind of shyness, a wriggling, unadorned casualness, makes people feel easy to get close to. If you are visiting Suzhou for the first time, please be sure to keep this Suzhou travel guide shared by United States.

Travel tips:
Suzhou Ancient Town: Zhouzhuang and Tongli are full of water town charm. Comparatively speaking, the traffic in Tongli is more convenient than that in Zhouzhuang. The ancient town is far from Suzhou city, so it is recommended to put it on the last day of the tour.
Accommodation: Just take the subway. Guanqian Street and Heping Road are recommended. Guanqian Street is close to subway stations and scenic spots, with convenient transportation and delicious food. Pingjiang Road has a clean environment. On the last day, I suggest living near the ancient town.
Transportation: Suzhou Station and Suzhou North Station have direct subway access, and Suzhou Station is the first choice, with convenient transportation to the urban area; The subway downloads the "Su E Tour" scan code, and the bus receives the Suzhou bus electronic card at zfb; Tongli: scenic shuttle bus on Line 4, Zhouzhuang: Bus No.725 and No.758 on Line 4.
Sightseeing: The terrace on the top floor of Suzhou Center overlooks Suzhou, and the night view of Jinji Lake and Oriental Gate is a must. There are many beautiful garden attractions in Suzhou. You can arrange them according to your own preferences. There will be many rickshaws next to popular attractions. Don't believe what they say about visiting scenic spots for free.
Gourmet: Fried fresh milk and fried meatballs handed down from Evonne in limited quantities are delicious and tender. Sweet-scented osmanthus sugar taro seedlings, fried, lotus root starch and glutinous rice balls are all delicious.
Luggage: 1 day is definitely not enough for a trip to Suzhou. Remember to bring enough luggage. It is recommended not to carry luggage with you when traveling. You can put it in the luggage storage point, which is safe and relaxing in almost all popular tourist attractions. Editor in charge:
