Having lived in Suzhou for 5 years, every time I talk about shopping, the first thing that comes to mind is Guanqian Street.
Here, you can feel Suzhou's nightlife atmosphere, various delicacies, and a dazzling array of shops.
Compared with pedestrian streets in other cities, Guanqian Street is not so commercialized and does not have so many luxury goods. It has more time-honored stores in Suzhou, jewelry stores that little girls like, and various snack bars.
Full of fireworks.
My favorite places to go are these shops on Guanqian Street. I’ve been there more than a dozen times and never get tired of them.
If there is anything that attracts girls the most, it must be the jewelry store.
Guanqian Street impressed me the most, and my favorite jewelry store is "Memorial Department Store".
There are two commemorative department stores on Guanqian Street, both of which are open underground. Although they are small, they have all the necessary features.
One is next to Master Bao’s Pork Floss and Xiaobei, and the other is at the intersection of Shaomo Zhen Lane and Guanqian Street.
The two Memorial Day Department Stores sell similar items. I prefer the one next to Master Bao. It has been open for many years and has a larger space and more items.
Memorial Day Department Store has a hat section, a clothing section, an accessories section, a shoe section, etc. It has almost any gadget you want to buy.
And the price is very affordable.
The approximate price of a hat is about 30 yuan, while other small accessories are even cheaper, many of them are less than 10 yuan, small and exquisite.
There are also a variety of dolls and gifts, which are overwhelming.
In addition to accessories and gifts, it also sells a lot of clothes and shoes.
Almost every time I go there are a lot of clothes on sale.
However, I personally think that the quality of the clothes inside is not particularly good or solid. After all, you get what you pay for. If you are pursuing quality, it is not recommended to buy clothes and shoes there. If you are pursuing style or economy, Memorial
Japanese department stores will be a very good choice.
There are many stores similar to the Memorial Day Department Store, and I enjoy visiting every one of them.
The first one to bear the brunt is Sanfu.
Sanfu specializes in all kinds of clothing. I have bought several pieces of clothing there and the quality is quite good.
Especially in summer, the short-sleeved styles, prices and quality are all directly proportional. You can go shopping there. The most important thing is that there is a fitting room inside.
Needless to say, miniso is a must-go every time I go to Guanqian. It attracts me like magic... Now there is a new department store that has attracted my attention.
As a result, I don’t even like to go shopping in Miniso anymore.
I opened a shop called "MIEVIC" in Eunuch. Every time I passed by, there were staff at the door who were very enthusiastic about soliciting customers.
Moreover, the variety in the store is richer, ranging from beautiful accessories to household items such as vegetable baskets. The most important thing is that the price itself is cheap, and it will become even cheaper after the discounts.
Qushengyuan’s hand-pulled bread can be said to be the snack that I have “favoured” the most.
Every time I see so many people queuing up outside the People's Mall, I am very confused, why not go to the Korea Shopping Mall store to buy it?
The taste is the same and there are fewer people in line.
The price of hand-pulled bread has increased from 7 yuan to 8 yuan each, but his size is definitely worth the price!
Because the store clerk can't tell the difference between its flavors, it's like opening a blind box every time I eat it. My favorite flavor is the meat floss flavor.
The freshly baked hand-pulled bread is the most delicious. It is toasted and crispy on the outside, but very soft on the inside. You can eat the whole thing without paying attention.
If you can’t eat it, you can use it as breakfast the next day and heat it in the microwave. It’s also very delicious.
Chef Bao's Pork Floss and Becks, which is located next to the Memorial Day Department Store, is also very popular. There are many people queuing up every time I go there.
Although the flossy scallops are truly high in calories, no one can resist them!
What I often repurchase are seaweed and scallops, which are sold starting at two for 30 yuan per pound.
There is a lot of meat floss on top, and the bread in the middle is mixed with a lot of salad dressing. The sweet and salty taste is amazing, but I can only eat two at most before I feel tired.
In addition to pork floss and scallops, their new cheese cheese mochi and milk-flavored raisin crisps also taste great, but don’t buy too much at one time, as eating too much will make you tired.
Every time a friend comes to visit me from out of town, I will buy some long-haired cakes for him to take away.
Changfa Western Cake’s fresh meat mooncakes are a must-try!
It is a time-honored gourmet restaurant in Suzhou.
Changfa Western Cake on Guanqian Street is just inside the Linton Road subway station. The store is not very big.
Fresh meat mooncakes, as the name suggests, look like mooncakes on the outside, and are filled with meat on the inside. The juices flow out when you take a bite. The meat filling inside is authentic and sweet, with a little sesame aroma, and it tastes very good.
The wine cakes in the store also taste great, and the rose wine cakes are highly recommended.
Changfa Cakes often holds various events, and it is more cost-effective to buy during the events.
After eating and drinking well, you must also have fun. The leisure and entertainment in front of the temple is also relatively rich.
