When it comes to traveling in Suzhou, many people think of gusu district first. As a traditional old city in Suzhou, Gusu has indeed left many precious historical cultures of Suzhou over the years. With the rapid development of Suzhou economy, Suzhou travel is no longer just a single Suzhou model.
There are more and more tourists who like to explore the authentic culture of the minority, and they have gradually discovered Xiangcheng, a land of treasures, and there are many new online celebrity punch-in points, which are worth tasting carefully. Today, Xiangcheng has become an important tourist resort in Suzhou.
(1) Yangcheng Lake Beauty Leg
When I first heard the beauty leg, I was full of curiosity and imagination about such a scenic spot. It was not until I really arrived here that I suddenly found out that the source of its name was named after the shape of this place resembles a beautiful leg. At the same time, it is also one of the cradles of Wu culture, with a precious historical and cultural landscape of "Ten Wonders of Xiangcheng".
Walking on Beauty Leg Island, I feel everything is so natural and comfortable. Lakes and waters, idyllic scenery, trees and flowers ... No wonder every weekend, urbanites in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai like to escape to such a paradise.
instead of asking if there are any scenic spots that must be punched in here, it is better to calm down and choose a place to rest, so it is not a pleasure to take a walk and be in a daze by the lake. At present, this area has formed a certain scale and system in the theme content of parent-child tour and farmhouse music. All kinds of one-stop resort hotels and delicious and fun places are gathered here.
Especially in the coming autumn, it is bound to become even hotter because of the arrival of Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs. Before the big wave of people comes in, grab the tail of summer and come here to fly!
(2) Lotus Island in Yangcheng Lake
When it comes to the second plot of Yangcheng Lake, I believe that in the eyes of many people, there will definitely be a place for Lotus Island. Similar to the naming reason of beauty leg, Lotus Island is named after its shape resembles a blooming lotus.
There are no means of transportation in the whole Lotus Island, and only about 3 original residents keep hairy crabs here. The natural scenery is particularly charming. Walking along the landscape promenade by the lake, although the lotus season has passed, you can still enjoy many beautiful white lotus flowers here.
In the endless lawn, sometimes a large flock of birds fly by. At this moment, I feel so close and integrated with nature. There are many facilities for children to play on the lawn, which can free parents' hands.
It should be noted that there is only one boat landing on the island about every hour, so remember to go to the dock to get detailed official information before going to the island to avoid missing the boat time. When it comes to the pier, we have to mention the pier of Yangcheng Lake Tourism Distribution Center, which is known as "one of the most beautiful passenger stations in the world".
The appearance of this wharf adopts a minimalist design style, with staggered columns. From a distance, it looks like a thatched cottage by the sea, which is very holiday-like. It is also the newly-built punch-in point of online celebrity in Suzhou, attracting countless passing tourists to take a group photo as a souvenir.
There are also scenic spots on the island, such as Yiyuan, Lotus Bookstore, Parent-child Paradise and Barbecue Area. You can learn more about the life of the islanders by exploring these places. You can also take your dear family and friends for a brand-new and different holiday trip.
(1) Suzhou Imperial Kiln Golden Brick Museum
As the first museum with the theme of "Imperial Kiln Golden Brick" in China, Suzhou Imperial Kiln Golden Brick Museum aims to protect profound cultural heritage in all directions and from multiple angles through architectural organization. The whole museum has a main museum as the main body, covering: imperial kiln site, contemporary art exchange center, remnant kiln site group and other areas.
BRIC, named after high-quality floor tiles specially used for palace buildings in Ming and Qing dynasties, also enjoys a lofty position in history. Through a systematic tour of the museum, we can learn more about the historical position, characteristics, uses and cultivation process of the golden brick from the lecturers. Finally, we can learn to make a golden brick with the teachers in the interactive area here.
The design of the whole museum is led by Liu Jiakun, a well-known architect. From the entrance, you can gradually feel the design elements of punching cards in online celebrity. Many travelers also put on special retro costumes to take pictures, and instantly felt as if they had crossed into ancient times.
(2) Feng Menglong Village
Located at the junction of Suzhou and Wuxi, Feng Menglong Village has the most simple and natural country flavor. I still remember that a few years ago, this village was called "Xinxiang Village". In memory of Feng Menglong, an important master of folk literature in the history of China, it was renamed Feng Menglong Village.
At present, a series of scenic spots such as Feng Menglong's former residence, Feng Menglong Memorial Hall and Feng Menglong Academy have been formed in Feng Menglong Village. And these scenic spots mentioned above are open to tourists free of charge. Through such a unique exploration tour of Feng Menglong Village, I believe you will have a deeper understanding and experience of the great historical achievements made by this great man.
Thanks to the simple folk customs and superior natural environment around, a series of vacation projects such as museum visit, fruit picking, farmhouse tasting and ancient village tour have been formed in Fengmenglong area. It's rare for a city dweller to escape from the city. Is it time to come here and relax?
(3) Wuzhen Daoyuan
Located in downtown Xiangcheng, Suzhou and around the business circle of Vitality Island, Wuzhen Daoyuan was founded in Song Chunxi for three years, with a history of more than 8 years. With the legend of Gu Kaizhi as the cultural theme, the Taoist temple has been built into a characteristic cultural tourist place by combining history and local people's customs.
wandering in it, everywhere is a profound cultural heritage. I happened to meet the blessing ceremony here, and I could chew out their yearning and taste for the ideal life from the pious performance of the wizards.
(4) Suzhou Second Workers' Cultural Palace
The Suzhou Second Workers' Cultural Palace, which was officially opened to the public only this year, integrates the functions of culture and art, physical fitness, education and training, and staff service, and is an ideal place for adults and children to spend the weekend. There are many public facilities such as theaters, basketball halls, table tennis halls, swimming pools, exhibition halls and training classrooms in the Cultural Palace to meet the needs of different people.
Many local young people like to gather here. No matter what kind of fitness enthusiasts you are, you can find organizations and like-minded friends here. The design here is also outstanding, and many online celebrity punch points are gathered here. Especially in the sunny afternoon, when beams of light are reflected on the wall through the glass window, it is also the time to shoot the most films, so don't miss it.
(5) Suzhou No.2 Library
As another new member of Suzhou Library, the No.2 Library officially opened to the public at the end of last year, and has the only large-scale intelligent integrated stacks in China. The service functional areas in the library include: digital experience hall, intelligent three-dimensional stacks, music library, Suzhou Literature Museum, design library, children's library, etc., and strive to create a warm and comfortable "citizen study".
The design of the library is also one of its highlights, especially when the afternoon sun shines through the glass in the library, and the light and shadow crisscross with the literary and artistic exhibitions, which adds a different flavor to the whole Second Library.
There are many places worth taking photos and punching in the library, such as the entrance of the music library and the library, which are equipped with many fashionable, avant-garde and retro elements, which are worthy of your careful understanding and taste.
(1) Eighteen Cooks in the Land of Fish and Rice
The first stop for foraging in Xiangcheng, Suzhou, starts with Eighteen Cooks in the Land of Fish and Rice! The antique design style of the restaurant quickly caught our eye. Came to the courtyard of the restaurant, with an iconic stage in the middle. Every night, when night falls, there will be a special person here to perform traditional Chinese opera, which is very ceremonial.
the dining place can be either on the outdoor terrace or in a more private and clean box. Enjoy food here, first of all, the ingredients won at the starting line. When it comes to the signature dishes here, I'm afraid it's really hard to count them with ten fingers: peasant grass chicken soup, shrimp with soy sauce, roast duck, steamed chicken soup bowl, and yellow in June ... < P > If it's hairy crab season, if you don't make an appointment about half a month ago, it's common to queue up for dinner. Dining in such an elegant and authentic place, the per capita consumption is roughly around 15 yuan, which is cost-effective.
(2) Yangcheng Fishing Hidden Chinese Food
If you want to eat in this restaurant, if you don't have a local strongman to lead the way, I'm afraid it's quite easy to get the door shut. As a well-known Chinese restaurant under Xike Hotel in Yangcheng Lake, Suzhou, Yangcheng Yuyun enjoys a great reputation, and the evaluation of Chinese restaurants in Yangcheng Lake area is also one of the best.
first of all, in the design style of the restaurant, it shows its advanced style. It is really easy to make a big movie in minutes when shooting in the outdoor area of the restaurant with Japanese style and gentle wind design. Calm lake, lush green bristlegrass, quiet path, simple design of the house ... unbelievable, located in such a pure land, it is actually a farmhouse.
Don't just look at the design of the restaurant. The Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine here is also quite standard. Soy bean noodles and June yellow are the specialty dishes here. The crab meat is delicious with rich and tasty sauce, so I can't put it down. Fish-hidden braised pork is also the signature here. Although it looks fat, it tastes really fat but not greasy and melts in the mouth. There are also steamed white fish, fish secret homemade chicken soup and other products are very stable and worth recommending.
With such an elegant environment and exquisite delicacies, the per capita consumption here will be relatively high compared with the last one, which is roughly around 25 yuan per capita. Everyone can choose according to their favorite atmosphere and tonality. They are all very good local farmhouses.
(3) Mingya Liuzao Family
This is a farmhouse located at the entrance of Feng Menglong's former residence. Compared with the first two, this farmhouse is much smaller, and the dishes will be more authentic and close to the people. The environment is quite quiet, which is another important reason why many people like to choose here.
braised pork, miscellaneous fish, beef tenderloin with green pepper, braised fish, scrambled eggs ... you can taste many home-cooked side dishes here. Not far from the door, there are large lotus ponds and vineyards. If you slow down here and feel the breath of country life, you will find that you love the life around you even more.
As a native Cantonese, my favorite program in the evening is visiting the night market. Even when I came to Suzhou, I was always busy at night, looking for a place where I could wear slippers and eat and drink easily. Vigorous Island Night Market, the largest night city in Suzhou Xiangcheng at present, is believed to be the new favorite of many people.
The whole area of Vigorous Island Night Market is very large, which is more than many Taipei night markets we have visited before. The goods here are dazzling, everything is available and overwhelming. Although the scale of night market stalls is generally small, it is not difficult to find good things.
Fresh fruits, melons and fruits, etc., are often cheaper to find here than in the vegetable market. Many local fruit farmers also applied for stalls on their own initiative and sold goods here every night. Fun games and programs are also endless, such as game machines and live KTV, which are all good places to gather popularity.
if you are tired of visiting the night market, you might as well start your midnight snack tour in a small restaurant earlier. On the last night of this celebrated trip to Suzhou, we chose to go to a food stall to have a barbecue. In the lively Vigorous Island Night Market, it is rare to find such a private part, where you can chat with friends, drink beer and eat barbecue. Imagine such a happy life as a fairy. How long have you not enjoyed it?
In addition to Vigorous Island Night Market, it is like Wangting Night Market, which is known as "Taoxiang Town" and full of fashionable literary atmosphere. And the high-speed rail Xincheng Night Market, which is a collection of neighboring markets, lipstick art exhibitions, Xincheng Food District and campus talent competition, is worth unlocking.
