I have taken several self-driving routes in Suzhou and found that one route is particularly easy to walk and can visit many famous attractions in Suzhou. The key is that it takes less time between each attraction!
It is simply a magical route. I recommend it to you for your reference. You are right to follow it!
This route is mainly about island hopping around Xishan Island in Taihu Lake. The best scenic spots in Xishan are concentrated here~ Route planning: Yuwang Temple → Dongcun Ancient Village → Linwu Cave → Mingyue Bay Ancient Village → Shigongshan Scenic Area. I will share 3 of them here that I think
The most worth checking out attraction, Dongcun Ancient Village is very quiet, which makes people completely escape from the big city. I like it very much ~ 1. Dongcun Ancient Village Address: Dongcun Ancient Village, Linhu Town, Wuzhong District, Suzhou City, Taihu Xishan National Geopark Dongcun Ancient Village? Transportation

Xu Lianxi, a generation of Confucian businessmen, presided over the construction. It is a well-preserved ancient building from the Qing Dynasty. The brick carvings and character patterns in the ancestral hall are lifelike.
?Jingxiu Hall: The most famous ancient house in the ancient village is the largest existing ancient house on Xishan Island.
It was also the place where Emperor Qianlong hid his beauty~? The ancient village alley gate: an ancient public security and defense facility. There are two existing alley gates in the ancient village of Dongcun, one in Qixian Lane and the other in Wu Lane? Ancient village people: Qing
The stone path runs through the entire Dongcun Ancient Village. On both sides of the stone path are simple households. Walking through the old streets and alleys is like slowly walking through the tunnel of time.
Attraction introduction: Dongcun Ancient Village is one of the first traditional villages in Jiangsu Province. It is said that at the end of Qin Dynasty and the beginning of Han Dynasty, Dongyuan Gong, one of the "Four Shangshan Masters", once lived here in seclusion, so it was named Dongyuan Village, or Dongcun for short.
The ancient village still preserves the complete traditional village style of Jiangnan.
2. Mingyue Bay Ancient Village? Address: Xishan Scenic Area, Jinting Town, Wuzhong District, Suzhou? Transportation: Self-driving navigation to Xishan Island, Taihu Lake, Suzhou?

Camphor is an important symbol of the ancient village. It has a history of 1,200 years and is still as lush as an umbrella.
The ancient stone slab street was built in the 35th year of Emperor Qianlong's reign in the Qing Dynasty. It is 1,140 meters long in total. The road surface is paved with more than 4,560 granite strips to form what the villagers call Qipan Street. It is one of the characteristics of Mingyue Bay Ancient Village.
The embankment of the ancient wharf extends to Taihu Lake. Walking here, sitting on the edge of the wharf, blowing the lake breeze, watching the sunset over the western mountains and the red sky, time slows down a lot. Even the TV series "Everything is Good"
The scene was also taken here.
Attraction introduction: Mingyuewan Ancient Village is located on the south side of Xishan Island, adjacent to Taihu Lake. It is an ancient village with a poetic name and picturesque scenery. It is named because the overall terrain resembles the bright moon. It is said that King Wu Xishi once played on the moon here.
