Suzhou travel route and food recommendations on the first day

Fuxing Store - Wan

Dishes - - Rice dumplings, fried eel noodles

Wanxing is a specialty old shop that serves authentic Suzhou cuisine. Some of the rice dumplings in Suzhou are indeed unique, and the meat-filled rice dumplings look very appetizing. It's fragrant and refreshing, and I don't find it boring at all. The aroma of black sesame and the rich broth give the fried eel noodles a delicious taste that goes straight to the soul.

The characteristic is that the noodles are narrow and thin, but the tough and vibrant taste attracts everyone's taste buds. After the eel is fried, the taste is just right and there is no fishy smell.

As a breakfast chain with a good reputation in Suzhou, Wanfuxing has a large number of customers every day. Everyone should get up as early as possible to avoid queues or crowds that affect your mood.

It was known as the first street in ancient Suzhou and was the favorite place of Emperor Qianlong in the mid-Qing Dynasty. After returning to the Forbidden City, we spent a day replicating the construction of Suzhou Street in the Summer Palace, showing its charm.

Note:

Since Shantang Street is very famous, I suggest you come early in the morning. By mid-afternoon, it is packed with tourists and may make you feel uncomfortable.

3. Art Garden

Art garden is an amazing Chinese classical garden. It is a type of private garden and has a long history of hundreds of years. It can be seen that the elegant life and literary sentiments of ancient Jiangnan literati were upright. The art garden is small and exquisite, graceful and winding, with small spaces, halls, courtyards, pavilions, mountains, water, ponds, flowers and forests.

Suzhou travel route and food recommendations on the third day

Xi'an Shengyuan - Haopu

Dishes - fried buns, small wontons

Fried dumplings and Xiaoluan are actually very common foods. The streets and alleys of China are full of them, but there are not many delicious ones. You can try. These two delicacies at Suzhou Xi'an Shengyuan taste absolutely unique and you can't stop liking them.

1. Xi'an Shengyuan (Fenghuang Street Store)

Xi'an Shengyuan is a famous attraction in Suzhou. Tourists fly in every day and it is extremely popular. The main reason here is because the temptation of delicious food is so great that tourists are queuing up to buy it. The exquisite Suzhou snacks you can eat here are authentic and reliable, the prices are fair and affordable, and they are well received by people.

2. Humble Administrator's Garden S Garden

Humble Administrator's Garden Yu Garden is one of the must-visit attractions in Suzhou. It is known as one of the four famous gardens in Jiangnan. It occupies a large area.

2. Pictures of must-visit attractions in Suzhou and Hangzhou travel guide

There are many interesting places in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, such as Wuzhen, Hangzhou, Suzhou, Nanjing and other places among Internet celebrities, where there are hidden Lots of beautiful scenery. However, Xiao Ma personally prefers niche travel routes, so I will share a 2-3 day guide for traveling around Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai.

The route shared by Xiao Ma mainly goes deep into Lishui, a super niche tourist destination in Zhejiang. It has historical and cultural heritage, famous historical and cultural villages, and super original natural scenery.

1. Why this route is recommended:

1. This route allows you to see super primitive natural scenery. There are mountains and rivers, and of course the air is the best among prefecture-level cities in Zhejiang. Therefore, tourists who like natural scenery are very suitable to check in here, especially tourists from the north will definitely like it.

2. This route has many cultural landscapes and covers many famous historical and cultural villages, where you can learn about unique cultural customs.

3. On this route, you can also taste many local flavors, such as Jinyun Shaobing with the characteristics of southern Zhejiang, meat soup with Zhejiang characteristics, and salty rice with Lishui characteristics. It’s worth leaving even for the food.

Two. About the itinerary and arrangements:

Recommended number of days: 2-3 days

The first day: Hangzhou-Songyang

The second day: Songyang County— Yangjiatang Village—Huang Family Courtyard

Day Three: Songyang County-Return

Three. Information you need to know about Songyang when traveling:

Songyang, an ancient county with a history of more than 1,800 years, is the earliest county in Lishui City. Because of its terrain of eight mountains, one water and one field, it has been called the Granary of Chuzhou since ancient times. Therefore, it has rich real estate, stunning scenery and numerous natural beauties. Because it has a history of more than 1,800 years, there are many historical relics hidden here.

Compared to other places in the province, there are very few tourists visiting Songyang, so it seems like a quiet place hidden in southern Zhejiang. Even if you come here on the weekend or National Day, you still won't see the crowds. I personally think it’s very tourist friendly here.

Four. Trip disassembly and key points:

1) Songyang Old Street

This is the old commercial street of Songyang's thousand-year-old county, where you can still see the former glory of the ancient city. This was once the largest commercial center in southwestern Zhejiang. There are many old streets in the old town of Songyang. Xiao Ma’s personal favorite is Nanzhi Old Street.

South Street is located in the southern part of Songyang County, with a total length of more than 400 meters. Although its tourist popularity is not as good as He Fang Street in Hangzhou and Confucius Temple in Nanjing. But it’s bustling with locals walking here every day, especially at the market.

After arriving at Nanzhi Street, Xiao Ma was recommended to see the buildings on both sides of the street from the Ming and Qing Dynasties to the Republic of China. Of course, there are also some old craftsmanship in the store, which you can focus on.

Tips:

What delicacies are worth trying in Lao Cai: When you arrive at Lao Cai, you must not miss the local snacks, five-grain large intestine noodles. The restaurant uses traditional wood-fired earthen stove cooking methods, so the noodles produced have a more down-to-earth taste.

How to get to South Street:

It only takes 10 minutes to walk from Songyang Bus Station to Old Street. The specific route is marked below.

(2) Songyang Museum

Although Songyang Museum has a small collection and a small scale, there are generally very few tourists. But for Xiao Ma, this Songyang Museum is also worth checking in.

You can focus on the celadon phoenix-ear vase from Longquan kiln, a national treasure of the Southern Song Dynasty. In addition, some Buddha heads and tiles unearthed from the Yanqing Temple Pagoda are also worth seeing.

How to get to Songyang Museum:

Nanzhi Street is only 600 meters away from Songyang Museum, and it only takes 10 minutes to walk. The specific route is as follows:

(3) Other attractions in the old city:

Brothers' Stone Archway: There are several key cultural relics protection units hidden in the old city.

For example, there are more than 100 Jinshis in the small Songyang City. Now you can see an archway at the south end of the old city, namely Apace and Zhanbao Brothers Jinshi Square.

How to get to Brother Jinshi Archway:

Song County Intangible Cultural Heritage Museum: Although this exhibition hall does not have priceless cultural relics, as a traveler who likes humanities, it is still worth checking in. of. Xiao Ma learned a lot about Songyang's local customs, such as Songyang's high accent, Zhuxi Festival, and the lanterns on the hillside, which will definitely make you understand Songyang better.

(4) Huang Family Courtyard

But Songyang is a famous attraction here, and it is a Qing Dynasty style residential building. As soon as you enter the ancient residence, you will be attracted by the horse head wall and wood carvings inside.

Personally, I think the most recommendable points in the Huang Family Courtyard are: the 200-word longevity in the Baishou Concert Hall; the different patterns of window lattice carvings and panes in the Meilan Bamboo and Chrysanthemum Hall.

How to get to the Huang Family Courtyard:

The Huang Family Courtyard is about 3km away from the county seat. I personally recommend taking a taxi. There are few cars on the way back, so you can pay more to have the driver wait for you outside.

Warm reminder: The Huang Family Courtyard is an ancient residence, so if you don’t do your homework in advance, I believe you can complete the tour in ten minutes, but after you do your strategy, you can Take your time and enjoy it for at least an hour.

(5) Yanqing Temple Tower

This tower is the most valuable attraction in Songyang because it is the only national key cultural relic protection unit in Songyang. This pagoda is a rare Northern Song Dynasty artifact in Jiangnan. Unlike Leifeng Pagoda, it was built later, so it is a true thousand-year-old pagoda, which is very rare. The tower is still leaning, but it's still not there. I still admire the superb skills of the ancients.

You can climb the tower, but you can only go to the second floor. In addition, there is an exhibition hall next to it, which contains many cultural relics unearthed in the tower, such as tiles, bricks, etc. It is recommended that individuals spend at least an hour visiting to appreciate the charm of this thousand-year-old tower.

How to get to Yanqing Temple Pagoda:

It is not far from the county seat, so I personally recommend taking a taxi. You can choose to visit the Huang Family Courtyard and Yanqing Temple

If you still have more time, you might as well go deep into the following villages, focusing on Yangjiatang Village, Hengkeng Village, Chenjiapu Village, and Daitou Village , Xiayang Village, Terrazzo Cang, etc., are all very primitive ancient villages.

In general, Songyang is not rich enough, so it won’t give you a stunning state at first, but as long as you stay for a few days, you will definitely be attracted by the smell of fireworks in this city. Infect.

The route of Xiaoma’s scenic spots is arranged according to personal praise, and you can arrange the time according to your favorable opinion:

Yanqing Temple Tower, Huang Family Courtyard, Songyang, Nanzhi Street Museum Brothers Golden Stone Archway

4. What kind of transportation should I choose to go to Songyang?

There is no train station in Songyang, so you can only take a bus when you arrive. For example, if you are starting from Hangzhou, you can take a direct bus from Hangzhou West Bus Station to Songyang Bus Station. There are 4 shuttle buses from here every day.

5. What delicacies are worth trying when traveling to Songyang?

Although the food in Songyang Chengdu is not as good as the national food cities such as Xi'an's Ming'an, the province is not like the snack cities of Shaoxing and Quzhou. However, it is rich in products and retains many authentic snacks. Based on his own travel experience, Xiao Ma recommends several delicacies that are more suitable for tourists.

Aliller large intestine noodles

It can be said that this is a must-try delicacy in Songyang. The most authentic noodles are at Bai Xian Noodle House on Nanzhi Street in Songyang Ancient Town. The gluten here is elastic, the focus is on the toppings on the noodles, and the grains of the large intestine noodles with a still are the most worth ordering.

Miguo

As an authentic snack in Songyang County, I may not have tasted this delicious food before many people have come here. It is said that the ingredient of this snack is a plant unique to Songyang Mountain. After burning the ashes, drain the juice, then soak it in rice, wash it and steam it, mash it in a mortar, steam it and cut it into small pieces. There are two main ways to eat glutinous rice, one is boiling it in soup and the other is slicing it and frying it.

Ashe cake

This kind of rice flour is used as the main ingredient, and then steamed into a paste with lime water or loofah leaf juice. Put it in the steamer and steam it, pour it layer by layer until the basket is full, and you can clearly uncover the layers after they are cooked. Thousand-feuille cakes made from ash can be fried or made into soup.

Jiaoshan

If you like delicious food, then mountain pink pepper is very suitable. Sweet potato is the raw material for making glutinous rice balls, so it tastes very good. The filling of glutinous rice balls is very full. You need to take a bite to get the full filling. Generally, dumplings can be steamed or boiled. I personally like soup dumplings.

Besides, the delicacies that Xiao Ma S personally recommends include sesame cakes, green tofu, eight-treasure lantern plates, wheat bean rice, and spicy hotpot (salai), all of which are highly recommended for tourists to try.

Summary of Xiaoma travel suggestions:

Time selection: It can be said that Songyang is suitable all year round, but the most beautiful seasons are spring and autumn. Of course, it is also suitable to come here in the summer because the weather here is much cooler than in the city.

Cost: Generally speaking, a 2-3 day itinerary in Songyang can be completed for 800 yuan according to Qiongyou. If it is luxury, then 1,000 yuan is enough. After all, prices here in Songyang are very low.

Do you need to buy tickets in Songyang? The attractions mentioned by Xiao Ma above are basically free.

For the paid Huang Family Courtyard and Yanqing Temple Pagoda, Xiao Ma personally recommends buying a ticket to enter because there is a lot to see.

The above is the 2-3 day tour route in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai shared by Xiaoma. Hope it helps on your trip.

3. Suzhou and Hangzhou travel route map

Yoyou!

In fact, you can go to Suzhou anytime! Because the scenery in Suzhou is different in four seasons. I think spring is the best! Let’s summarize the weather characteristics of Hangzhou for your reference!

Hangzhou has a warm and humid climate with four distinct seasons. The average annual temperature is 16.2, the average summer temperature is 28.6, and the average winter temperature is 3.8. March to April every year is the peak tourist season when spring flowers bloom. The temperature is between 9-15, which is also the best season for traveling.

The rainy season is from late June to early July, with sunny weather and less rain. Typhoon season is frequent in mid-to-upper August, with frequent heavy downpours. The temperature is above 20-26. At this time,

The winter in Hangzhou was as cold and biting as in other places in the south of the Yangtze River. I can't stand that even northerners can live without thick, warm clothes.

If you want to take a walk by the West Lake at night, you should also wear more cold-proof clothes. It should be said that Hangzhou has different beauty in different seasons, different climates, and different eras, which is intoxicating. ..

If you want a detailed tour route, I can provide it for you!

It is said that there was Pingjiang Road first and then Suzhou City. This historical street with a total length of about 1.6 kilometers records too many memories of Suzhou. The commercial alleys built along the river, with too many exquisite shops, are the best-preserved areas of the ancient city of Suzhou and can be called the epitome of the ancient city. Here, you can not only play along the main road, but it is also recommended that you visit the alleys on the east and west sides, such as Suspension Bridge Hutong, Daru Hutong, Zhongzhangjia Hutong, Daxinqiao Hutong, etc. Especially on the east side, there are many water alleys, maintaining the original appearance of Jiangnan Water City.

It is said that Suzhou gardens are the best in the world, and Humble Administrator's Garden Yu Garden can be said to be the best among Suzhou gardens. It is the largest representative work of Suzhou classical gardens. It is one of the four major gardens in China, together with the Summer Palace in Beijing, the Summer Resort in Chengde and the Liuyuan Garden in Suzhou. It's a big deal.

The beauty of Suzhou is the beauty of the soul and the beauty of impressions. Because in people's eyes, Suzhou has always been hiding in the boudoir to let people know. It does not create momentum, does not brag, and does not please you. It just waits for you to slowly get closer, discover, and understand. Its beauty seems plain, unadorned and unframed, because its beauty lies within rather than outside.
