Suzhou: Day 1 Baima Stream-Guanqian Street Take the train from Wuxi to Suzhou in the morning, which only takes 30 minutes.

When I got off the train station, I was immediately disoriented in the chaos.

If you want to take a taxi, there are very few taxis. If you want to take a bus, you can't even find a bus stop.

At this time, you have to thank the numerous tricycles in Suzhou and make a counter-offer.

Along the way, I found that the city of Suzhou was extremely congested, and taking a taxi was not as convenient as taking a three-wheeler.

We stayed at the Shuxiangmendi Business Hotel. It is on Jingde Road and has an excellent location. In front is Guanqian Street, which is often visited by outsiders, and behind it is Shilu Commercial Street, which is often visited by Suzhou people. There are many public buses at the door.

In particular, there are two books placed in the guest rooms for guests to read. The ones in our room were "Scarlett" and "Harry Potter". In those days, my daughter couldn't put it down as soon as she returned to the hotel.

After checking in, go shopping on Bachelor Street in front.

I found a bachelor's tea restaurant, which is a small restaurant with a good environment. I had lunch here.

While I was tasting its Soviet-style dishes, a group of foreigners actually came. The proprietress could communicate with them in English very freely. Such an inconspicuous small restaurant has become a foreign-related restaurant. Bachelor Street is really a hidden dragon and a tiger!

In the afternoon, visit Baima Jian Longchi Scenic Area.

This scenic spot is a newly developed area, the transportation is not developed yet, and there are very few direct buses to the scenic area.

We took 333 at Aihe Bridge to the Xiangjiang Road station closest to the scenic spot, and then spent 10 yuan to take a three-wheel drive to the scenic spot.

Baimajian Longchi Scenic Area has beautiful mountains and clear waters, far away from the noisy city, and is a good place for leisure.

Adults can go to the ice and snow field and have a buffet barbecue, and children can go bungee jumping and horse riding. The scenery along the way is also good, including Yungu Waterfall, Fengtan, Longchi, and the Ten Mile Plank Road. It is refreshing and refreshing, and there is no sense of smallness like Suzhou gardens.

Visit the famous Guanqian Street in the evening.

I passed by Luyang Wonton Shop, a century-old restaurant, and tasted its wontons. They were not greasy, not greasy, and delicious. I decided to have breakfast here tomorrow.

As soon as I entered Guanqian Street, I discovered that there are many century-old shops, such as Ye Shoucheng, Daoxiangcun, Huangtianyuan, Caizhizhai, etc., which of them was not a Chinese time-honored brand opened during the reigns of Qianlong and Guangxu. I can't help but feel the richness of Suzhou's cultural heritage.

I bought some freshly made Suzhou-style pastries and tasted them. Wow, they really lived up to their reputation. They were very different from those fake Suzhou-style pastries in Wuxi. I immediately bought countless Suzhou specialties such as pastries, crispy candy, rice dumpling candy, and dried tofu.

Day 2 Jinji Lake - the upper reaches of the ancient city - Qili Shantang - Shilu. In the morning, we went to Luyang and tasted its Su-style noodles. Hey, this is the taste.

No wonder Lanzhou Ramen is rarely seen in Suzhou. Compared with authentic Suzhou-style noodles, there are still some gaps.

After the meal, we went straight to Jinji Lake.

Jinji Lake is an open-air park, said to be 1.8 times larger than West Lake.

We took 307 at Xueshi Street and got off at Suxiu Road. When we entered, we entered the Lakeside Park, with a large lawn, an open lake, and modern sculptures. Even on National Day, there was no sense of hustle and bustle.

We just sat leisurely on the benches, had a picnic on the lawn, played in the lake, and even rented a classic car for a stroll. Half a day passed by inadvertently.

Walking around Jinji Lake, you can feel the atmospheric side of Suzhou.

Along the way, I heard someone saying that Jinji Lake has completely subverted everyone’s previous impression of Suzhou.

After walking along Lakeside Avenue, if you don’t want to walk along the long Ligong Embankment, you can just come out and follow Jinji Lake Road to Xindu Square, where there are buses.

Still wanting to feel the charm of old Suzhou, we chose to take a water tour around the ancient city in the afternoon.

Take bus No. 28 from Xindu Square to the south gate. There is Suzhou Ferry Terminal at Renmin Bridge.

Luxurious dragon boat, ticket price is 50 yuan, and you can enjoy the scenery of the ancient city river along the way.

The tour guide will explain the history of the rivers, ancient bridges and towers to you one by one. We couldn’t stop taking photos.

On the way back, a Pingtan master came on stage to perform, first singing Night Mooring on the Maple Bridge, and then Du Shiniang Sinking the Treasure Box in Anger.

I saw his clothes fluttering, the jade trees facing the wind, Wu Nong's soft words matching the silk and bamboo tunes, and his singing was so soul-stirring, it was really a worthwhile trip.

After landing, we chose Shantang Street, an ancient street in Suzhou, to continue to feel the charm of old Suzhou.

Take 933 from the south gate to the foot of Guangji Bridge, walk along Shangtang Street to Duseng Bridge and you will see the archway of Shantang Scenic Spot.

LP was shopping for Suzhou-style trinkets, while I was taking pictures of alleys, ancient houses, etc., each getting what he wanted.

It is at its most beautiful at night when the lanterns are first lit. The sound of oars and the shadows of lights are absolutely charming.

Coming out of Shantang Street is the Shilu Commercial Pedestrian Street. We hurried through it and went straight to the Shilu Food Street, where there were so many restaurants that it was dazzling.

I saw a restaurant - Fengbo Village, and suddenly someone greeted me with fists clasped, two heroes, please come in, please come in. Could this be the restaurant with a martial arts scene that I have heard about for a long time?

After entering, sure enough, every table inside had names from the Beggar Clan, Iron Palm Clan, Xiaoyao Clan, and Qingcheng Clan, and songs from The Legend of the Condor Heroes were playing.

We picked an empty seat and sat down, and when we saw it, it was like Tomb Sect. Ha, LP and I would have become Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu.

At the end of the checkout, we only ate 58 yuan, which felt quite worth it.

Day 3 On the last day of Suzhou Paradise, let the children play completely.

I took bus 313 directly to the terminal station, Suzhou Amusement Park. It was only 8:30 in the morning when I arrived. I went to the West Bus Station opposite to buy a ticket back to Suzhou. When I turned around, the park opened just in time.

After entering the park, most of the free items are on the right side, so you should play them first. The thrills on the left side are greatly increased, and most of them are paid items. It is recommended to play them later.
