I went to the following places and expressed the following opinions:

Humble Administrator’s Garden: To the north of the Lion Grove, straight from the garden road to the north, I think the essence of Suzhou gardens is Here it is. Tickets are 70 and the best value to see. Remember that there is a Suzhou Folk Museum on the way from the Lion Grove Garden to the Humble Administrator's Garden. Admission is free, so you can stop by and check it out.

Lion Forest: Named after the rockery kingdom. There are countless lions, young lions, roaring lions, dancing lions, waking lions, and sleeping lions squatting, fighting, or playing in the mountains. The incredible entire mountain range looks like the Kunlun Mountains, with mountains rising out of the ground, dominated by the uplifted Lion Peak. The mountains are undulating and stretching in all directions. It’s worth a look!

Huqiu: Known as "the first scenic spot in Wuzhong". "Historical Records" records: "King Wu Fu Chai buried his father here. Three days later, a white tiger came up from it, so it was named Huqiu." The Huqiu Temple was built in the Jin Dynasty, and it was renamed Wuqiu in the Tang Dynasty.

Baoen Temple was known as Yunyan Temple in the Song Dynasty and Hufu Temple in the Qing Dynasty.

It is recommended to go to Guanqian Street in the evening and eat Huang Tianyuan’s noodles. Take a trip to Pingjiang Road Historic District. One day in downtown Suzhou is indeed not enough. Ganjiang Road is also very good. There is a river in the middle of the road, which may be the only one in the country. Throughout my trip to Suzhou, I still have a lot of praise for Pingjiang Road. This has been renovated, but you can still find hundreds of years old houses. Some old men are fishing by the river, and old ladies are enjoying the cool air and chatting by the pavilion on the left side of the bridge. While taking photos along the way, I also saw a small boat carrying tourists in the river; and a beautiful girl sitting on the bow of the boat, the way she looked at people was even more heart-pounding. Changdi was finally left behind by the pace. The scenery is very good, but it depends on the person. She doesn't like my LG very much, saying I don't look like a young person, haha. She prefers to visit the front street because there is shopping.

If you have time, go to Lingyan Mountain in Mudu. Tianping Mountain, it will take a whole day to do this.

Tips: The transportation in Suzhou is very good. The map of Suzhou is very clear and practical. As long as you know the north and south directions clearly and don't get confused, it will be fine. There are many bus lines and the services are very considerate.

China has four major cuisines: Jiangsu, Shandong, Guangdong and Sichuan, with different tastes. They are called "Eastern sour, western spicy, southern sweet and northern salty". Jiangsu cuisine belongs to the "southern sweet" flavor. .

Jiangsu cuisine is characterized by rigorous selection of ingredients, fine workmanship, and the use of materials according to the four seasons. It is good at stewing, stewing, steaming, roasting, and stir-frying, and pays attention to soup preparation to maintain the original juice. Flavor. The taste is light and sweet, and the color is harmonious.

Famous Su-style signature dishes include: squirrel mandarin fish, shark's fin in clear soup, eel paste with oil, watermelon chicken, whole chicken with mother oil, Taihu water shield soup, jade shrimp bucket, lotus stew, etc.

Suzhou snacks are also famous all over the world. Dried tofu in dense sauce, pine nut candy, rose melon seeds, shrimp soy sauce, jujube paste sesame cake, lard salty cake, etc. are all very popular and must-try.

The most famous Su-style restaurants in Suzhou are "Deyue Tower" and "Songhe Tower".

The specialty of Deyuelou (No. 27, Eunuch Lane) is that the menu changes in due course according to the seasons. In spring, there is cherry sauce meat; in summer, there are steamed anchovies, maple trotters, steamed pork with lotus sauce, etc.; in autumn, there are chestnut yellow braised chicken, fat-free pork; in winter, there are bone-in eight-treasure chicken, boiled herring, assorted hot pot, etc. The two of us ate a De Yuetong Chicken (RMB 50), a Roasted Bacon Pork (RMB 15), and a bottle of Budweiser (RMB 10), which cost 75 RMB. The waiter smiled when paying the bill, maybe because we ordered less, haha! ! !

Songhe Tower (No. 141 Guanqian Street) was founded during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. It has a history of more than 200 years and is a representative of traditional Jiangsu cuisine. Squirrel mandarin fish, Biluo shrimp, braised meat and tofu, etc. are all the signature dishes of this restaurant. I didn’t get to eat because I didn’t have a reservation. I’ll definitely try it next time I get the chance.

The most popular restaurants in Suzhou nowadays include Tianzhu, Xiangyun, Runji, Tsinghua, Nankai, etc. These "fashionable new favorites" are compared with "time-honored restaurants" such as "Deyue Tower" and "Songhe Tower". ”, the price is more reasonable, the service is first-class, and the environment is more elegant.

The main food streets in Suzhou are: Eunuch Lane, Shiquan Street, Xueshi Street, Phoenix Street, Ganjiang Road and Shilu Kinmen Shopping Mall Food Street. But there are so many, it’s hard to choose.

The best place to stay in Suzhou is in the urban area. You can’t afford to stay in a 4- or 5-star hotel. But I personally don’t think it’s necessary. Nowadays, economical hotels are developing well, and the house prices are generally between 100 and 200 yuan. The space is missing restaurants and other facilities, but it gives us tourists more real benefits! But the conditions of hotels that are too cheap are often unsatisfactory. When I go to Suzhou, I choose a place near the garden scenic area. One is safety, and the other is the surrounding environment. I can feel the atmosphere of old Suzhou. The Jiahe Business Hotel on Yuanlin Road where I stayed is worth recommending, especially when I get up early in the morning and stand on Yuanlin Road. There is a special feeling. But you have to get up earlier. Preferably before 6 o'clock. Haha, if you are a lazy man, don’t mention it, haha! The key to choosing a hotel to stay is whether it has lobby and room bathroom facilities. This is my experience from many years of business travel. It's on a major road, on a main artery, the price is high, and the room is noisy.

Transportation: Shanghai Hongqiao Airport and Pudong Airport have direct buses to Suzhou, with fares of 50 yuan and 80 yuan respectively. You can also take trains and buses from Shanghai. It is best to take the train, which leaves in 20 minutes and can be reached in 40 minutes. But if you arrive at the airport at night, you will spend a lot of money. Jianyi can arrive in Suzhou in the afternoon. Because it was too late, there were no airport buses. A taxi to the train station would cost at least 300 oceans.

Travel: Suzhou has opened a special tourist bus line, which is divided into east and west lines. The east line passes through the railway station, Beisi Pagoda, East Garden, Lion Grove, Humble Administrator's Garden, Guanqian Street, etc. The west line passes through the railway station, Huqiu, Xiyuan, Hanshan Temple, Liuyuan Garden, Shantang Street, Panmen, etc. The fare is 1 yuan for regular cars and 2 yuan for air-conditioned cars. In addition, you can take a taxi, the starting price is 10 yuan (3 kilometers), or rent a bicycle to travel around. It is not recommended to take a tricycle, the price is extremely expensive.

Tickets: Tickets for various attractions in Suzhou are around 50 yuan, varying between peak and off-season.

Shopping: Places you can visit in the city include Renmin Road and Guanqian Street, where you can buy Daoxiang Village’s freshly baked fermented rice cakes and pine nut candies, Ye Shouhe’s date mud cakes and dried tofu, and Huang Tianyuan’s Rice cakes, Caizhizhai’s brown sugar and one-bite cakes, etc.

Note: 1. There are many people at the exit of the train station or bus station who recommend one-day tours or hotels. Don’t ignore them. As long as you hesitate at all, they will pester you for a long time! Once successful, you will contribute the kickback! Most of the hotels they recommended were dirty and messy. Otherwise, he will recommend you to go, and it would be strange if there is no kickback. Remember: what they say is bad is actually good, and what they say is good must be bad. This requires reverse thinking

2. It is best not to ride on the tricycle in Suzhou, and never go there Listen to those out-of-town rickshaw drivers who recommend you places to visit at extremely low fares. Not to mention that those places are not fun, the coachman can also get kickbacks for your contribution. Remember: what they say is bad is actually good, and what they say is good must be bad. This requires reverse thinking. Sometimes it's really funny. I heard a tricycle driver say to a little girl that the most interesting thing in Suzhou is the Water Village Folk Garden, especially the cockfighting show. faint! ! !

3. All buses in Suzhou accept Shanghai Transportation Card and Wuxi Taihu Pearl Card, and the fares are 10% off.

4. There are fake monks in some temples in Beisi Pagoda and Dongxi Mountain, who extort foreign tourists by telling fortunes and asking for fortunes.

5. Suzhou’s specialties are basically some silks and Suzhou-style candies and pastries. There are also some in front of the temple. For sweets and pastries, Caizhizhai, Daoxiangcun and Yeshouhe are the best, all on Guanqian Street. It is recommended to buy silk in large stores. Do not sell silk recommended by scalpers, drivers, or tricycle drivers. If you buy it for 200 yuan, it may only be worth 20 yuan, which is amazing! ! !

6. When you go out, don’t make yourself unhappy with your companions because of trivial matters. Ask for directions and make more preparations. It doesn’t matter if you are a little annoyed. Just be happy and travel freely! You must believe in your ability to travel independently! This is because I have, and I kind of regret it. After all, it is fun to go out and have fun. There is no need to compete with friends for trivial matters.
