There are actually some cuisines in Suzhou. Now Xiang Xiao tells you about the delicious food in Tongli ancient town. The scenery in this place is really beautiful. You can see the scenery when you go. The most important thing is the dishes.

What are the

Euryale ferox

Because my companion went to Jiangnan Water Town for the first time, in order to let her know more, we went to eat a lot of delicious food, and some of them were not available, so we bought some to try. Returned pot cakes and socks-sole cakes are famous snacks in Tongli, which can be taken back as souvenirs for friends and family, especially those that have just been baked. Buy a piece and eat it while walking. The taste is the best. It is warm in your hands, with some temperature, and crisp in your mouth. Round cakes are called pot cakes and taste like osmanthus flowers. Tongue-shaped socks bottom crisp, with salt and pepper flavor, each with its own flavor.

In the ancient town of Tongli, shops selling Euryale ferox cakes can be seen almost everywhere, and the water town is rich in Euryale ferox cakes, so the Euryale ferox cakes made now are fragrant and soft. Euryale seed cakes are delicious only when they are just made, and they will become hard when they are brought back. If you are interested, you can ask the boss to cut 35 yuan, which will be solved soon in Tongli.

As a top-grade local product in Tongli, Euryale ferox comes from Euryale ferox (commonly known as "chicken's head rice"), which is known as "ginseng in water". According to "Compendium of Materia Medica" recorded in, Euryale ferox is mainly used for treating damp arthralgia, lumbago, knee pain, tonifying middle warmer, eliminating violent diseases, benefiting essence and qi, improving eyesight and hearing, stimulating appetite, quenching thirst and tonifying kidney, and treating urinary incontinence. Can be used as a medicated diet, soaked in water for half a day, simmered. Can be eaten with red dates, lotus seeds and longan, which is more delicious. On the way to the Pearl Tower scenic spot, I saw a local woman selling gorgon fruit, fighting with the unshelled gorgon fruit with small pliers. My dad went to the restaurant and asked for a soup called gorgon fruit pot. I didn't say anything, so I bought a bag and put it in porridge at home. Euryale ferox is easy to make and tastes sweet. I regret buying less. By the way, I bought a cup of water chestnut Gordon Euryale red bean soup, and the cooking time was not enough. It's not very delicious, but it looks very nutritious.

Before, residents had a drink stand by the river. One was to enjoy the cool, and the other was to try the stinky tofu in every water town. Strangely, stinky tofu tastes different in every place. When I saw a stinky tofu seller, I wanted a bunch of them, two for five dollars, sitting by the river, and a bowl of iced mung bean soup, which is the taste of this place.

Champion's hoof

There are many local specialty shops selling champion shoes in Tongli. In the alley of "Ming and Qing Street" where apricot yellow flags are swaying, it is said that Song Chunyou was the top scholar of Wei Ruxian High School in Tongli for four years. Wei Zhuangyuan especially likes to eat braised hooves. During the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, Ren Lansheng, the owner of the closed garden, admired the champion Wei and hired a famous chef to cook braised hooves as the main course of the family banquet, nicknamed the champion hooves. Hong Jun, the top scholar at that time, and Sai Jinhua, the concubine, often came to taste it. As for the eating method of hoof pulp, directly put the vacuum-packed hoof pulp together with the bag in the water to cook, so that the soup is not easy to dry and more delicious. How to debone and cut open a hoof: first, pick up a hoof with your hands and gently pull out a thin bone from two long bones that run through the whole pig's hoof. Take the bone as a knife and cut the hoof smoothly. This bone was later called "No.1 knife". This kind of champion hoof has been needed since 6 yuan, an ancient town in Tongli, and the store can vacuum pack it for you to take away.

jar git is a famous restaurant in Tongli, featuring local farm dishes, with high cost performance. My innkeeper recommended that we eat here, because the price near Sanqiao Scenic Area is much more expensive than here. Address: No.13, Zhu Xing Street, Tongli (next to Pingqiao)

The menu is full of Jiangnan flavor, and two northeast girls have been to Jiangnan several times. I ordered shrimp with lotus root, gluten cabbage, shredded bamboo shoots in red oil and scrambled eggs with whitebait. Lotus root, gluten and bamboo shoots

I ate a lot at lunch, and my mouth was not idle in the afternoon. I didn't find dinner until it was dark. A whole hoof is too big, so I have to choose a pig's hoof roasted in red oil from primary school. They are bright red, soft and sweet in my mouth, but not greasy. One is from 2 yuan.

The best place in Tongli is to watch the river view by a small river. I was attracted by an old lady who was peeling fresh food on the hotel table. Curiosity makes us stay and sit quietly by the river, waiting for the real taste of the water town. Fried broad beans are fragrant, sweet and waxy, and the taste of spring is undoubted.

Malantou, a local dish, is said to be eaten by Suzhou people. The best food should pay attention to two words: season. After this spring dish is fried, I think it stimulates the unique aroma of Malantou, some of which are like chrysanthemums we often eat here.

clam bean curd soup. The old lady is very enthusiastic, but only two dishes and one soup, two bowls of rice and a bottle of beer cost us 89 yuan. Really not as cruel as usual.

There is no bustling morning in Tongli, and the morning in Tongli is an ordinary street life. Open the window of the room. It's quiet outside. Breathe free fresh air and feel refreshed. The smell of food wafts from the snack bar, which is also the unique taste of the water town. If you walk in front of the snack bar, you will look around.

my partner and I came to an alley not far from the inn. According to the introduction of online users' raiders, we came to Laijun Dim Sum for breakfast. I can't remember the exact location. We are in the same street as git, which has sesame burritos, two-color burritos, rose lard cakes and steaming soybean milk. We also ate osmanthus horseshoe cake, and we stayed in Tongli for 24 hours, enjoying the taste of Jiangnan. One day in a year is enough.

delicious

1) lunch/dinner: dinner in Tongli is usually a farmhouse meal, which can be eaten in the old street or by the river of Sanqiao. There is an old shop in Old Street called Jiutanzi and Tongli. It tastes good and the price is good. Rice wine is especially recommended. There are two restaurants near Sanqiao River, Champion House and Meijiacai, which can enjoy the river view and taste good. Local specialties include white fish, white shrimp, whitebait (three whites in Taihu Lake), No.1 hoof, fresh river, gorgon euryales and so on.

2) Breakfast: Take care of delicious food (wonton, Su-style noodles) and come to the army to eat snacks.

3) Pastry snacks: socks-bottom cakes, Euryale ferox cakes, green balls, wine cakes, malt cakes, orange cakes, shrimp cakes, three-line fish rolls and sweet-scented osmanthus sugar lotus roots.

this restaurant has a good reputation on the internet. The meals are all local specialties, delicious and reasonable in price. I only spent 5 yuan to buy a few dishes. His rice wine must be highly recommended. It tastes crisp, like a drink, but it does have the delicious taste of rice. Whitebait fried eggs is a special feature of Suzhou, and it is also one of the "Three Whites in Taihu Lake". You can try something you haven't eaten. Braised No.1 hoof is one of the most famous features in Tongli. Shops on both sides of the pedestrian street are listed, which makes you feel fragrant when you look at them.

the soles of socks are crisp and fragrant. It feels more like some snacks in the north, but it's not so pocket-sized haha.

To tell the truth, the two cookies in Laijun Dim Sum Shop taste just so-so, but they are too hard.

There are some cakes freshly baked in the street, including some green jiaozi. Plum dried vegetable cake, but you can also find it elsewhere.

The fun

ticket includes 9 small scenic spots. In the evening, you can go to see the performance of "Ink Painting Tongli" Theater (single ticket 9/ ticket, scenic spot performance package 14), paddle boat (9/ boat, 6 seats), Suzhou Pingtan (Nanyuan Tea House, tea is free), and watch the night scene and listen to music in Tongli at night.

Tonggu Town was listed as one of the national Taihu Lake scenic spots in 198, and was listed as a provincial-level cultural relics protection unit in 1982. In 1992, it was listed as a provincial-level cultural relics protection town, and the scenic spot "Retreat Garden" was listed as a world cultural heritage by UNESCO in 2. In 21, Tongli was rated as a national 5A-level tourist attraction by the National Tourism Administration. (network data classification)

Therefore, the retreat garden is the most famous scenic spot in Tongli ancient town.

Siyuan Garden was built from 1885 to 1887. Lan Sheng, the director of the garden, was dismissed and returned to his hometown to build this place, covering an area of nine acres and eight points. Under the ingenious design of Long Yuan, a novel pattern of left house, atrium and right garden was built from west to east. The back garden can be described as the most beautiful place in the retreat garden, but the small space is full of charm and artistic conception, which can be described as condensing the landscape essence of Jiangnan gardens, especially in this continuous drizzle.

The Third Bridge refers to Taiping Bridge, Li Ji Bridge and cheung tsing bridge, which are distributed in a zigzag shape at the intersection of three small rivers. Whenever there is a big happy event, my family always walks around the Third Bridge, especially the Taiping Bridge.

The boat is swaying, splashing and rhythmic, as if singing a beautiful poem. The Pearl Tower scenic spot in the north is the biggest scenic spot in Tongli ancient town. Heart Lane is also a fun place in Tongli. It's not a special scenic spot, but actually a very narrow alley. But because Gu Changwei had taken photos of Tongli's propaganda films here before, more people knew about it at once.

the night view in the same room is good. You can walk around at will and always find your favorite pictures.

Ming and Qing Street is the most prosperous shopping street in Tongli, with the architectural style of Ming and Qing Dynasties. Shops sell all kinds of snacks, specialties, handicrafts and so on. It looks bustling during the day, but as the night gets darker, it becomes deserted.
