Accommodation fee

After arriving at Suzhou Railway Station in the morning, take a long-distance bus to the ancient town at the North Bus Station in the east of the railway station. These three ancient towns are characterized by small bridges and flowing water, and people's scenery is similar.

I took my wife and children for a self-help tour in Suzhou in 28-Tongli (I chose Zhouzhuang for its early development, which was too commercial, and many tourists didn't choose to use it, so the price was not cheap, so I chose Tongli)-Shanghai

Let's talk about yours. It takes about half an hour to get to Tongli by bus at Suzhou Long-distance North Station. Generally, the fare is not more than that of 1 yuan. People rarely get to Tongli in more than half an hour. After getting off the bus, there are many tricycles to solicit customers to the entrance of the town and give him 5 yuan money at most. It is also very close to walk. When I go, I will get tickets to 8 yuan (free entrance after 5 pm in the ancient town). When I get into the ancient town, there is Dechuntang Inn Enzetang near the Retreat Garden. If you are lovers, you can choose those classical clothes in these inns. The price of the repaired room (eight-step bed) is more than 1 yuan, and you can get tens of yuan for air conditioning and bathing. The hygiene is not bad, but the room is not big. The people who do business here are kind.

The main food is to try the fish here, and there is a food stall near the chaotic river in the town. The price is average.

It's just like going back to your hometown, so you don't need to pay special attention to what to bring with you to prevent mosquitoes. How wet the water is at night and in the morning, the feeling of the town is different. Through the windows and doors that are not closed tightly, you can see the epitome of the life of the ancient town people for hundreds of years.

After playing in Tongli, you can take a bus to Zhouzhuang at Tongli Station (it is said that there is a boat to ask the innkeeper)

Zhouzhuang has never been there. The details are not clear. It should be quite different from other ancient towns, but it is famous (accommodation should be no problem. You don't need to buy tickets when you go in at 5: p.m. and 6: p.m. on weekends, so you can pay attention to this and save some money by adjusting it). The screw fish in Zhouzhuang of Shenting Restaurant tastes good

If you really have time, you might as well go to Suzhou City for a day or stop in a small town for an extra day

and return to Zhengzhou from Suzhou Railway Station. Remember to book tickets in advance and watch the trains
