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 Fuchai buried his father here. Three days later, a white tiger approached it, so it was named Huqiu." In the Jin Dynasty, the Huqiu Temple was built, in the Tang Dynasty it was renamed Wuqiu Baoen Temple, and in the Song Dynasty it was named Yunyan Temple. , in the Qing Dynasty, it was called Hufu Zen Temple. In the evening, I suggest you go to Guanqian Street 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 in the river carrying tourists; and the sexy foreign girl in a short skirt sitting on the boat, the way she looked at people was even more shocking. The scenery is very good, but it depends on the person. My wife doesn’t like me very much and says I don’t look like a young person. Haha, is it because I saw a foreign girl? She prefers to visit Qian Street because there is shopping. ah.

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.

For bus 313, I spent a long time looking for it because it has no platform and is hung in a tree. above.

Come out of the hotel and walk along Garden Road. When you reach the end of the road, turn left (turn right to see the Humble Administrator's Garden) and you can see the Suzhou Museum. It was designed by Master Pei Luming. It's really good. The interweaving of white and gray is one of the classics. Make it!!! Go north at the intersection. There is a sign 313 hanging on a tree opposite the Suzhou Museum. Haha, if you make this car, you can go to Suzhou Paradise and Hanshan Temple. This is the result of my own search for a long time, maybe Many people in the local area don’t know it. It’s very practical! ! ! !

You can bring specialties - pine nut candies, rose melon seeds, shrimp soy sauce, jujube sesame cakes, lard salty cakes, Taicang meat floss, musical instruments, Su embroidery, silk, Biluochun tea, Su fans, Taohuawu woodcut New Year pictures , Lake pen, Taihu whitebait.

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. .

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

The 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, emerald 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 Suzhou-style restaurants are "Deyue Tower" and "Songhe Tower".

The specialty of Deyuelou (No. 27, Eunuch Alley) 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. Compared with "time-honored restaurants" such as "Deyue Tower" and "Songhe Tower", these "fashionable new favorites" ”, 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 that it’s hard to choose. So I didn’t go there at all. I stood here just to let everyone know about Suzhou. This is also what I saw in the information.

The best accommodation in Suzhou is in the urban area, with 4 and 5 stars. I can’t afford it, but I personally don’t think it’s necessary. Budget hotels are now developing well, with house prices generally between 100 and 200 yuan. The recommended cost-effective hotels in the city center’s garden scenic spots are as follows:

1. Suzhou Jiahe Business Hotel----148 --168 0512-67779111 It is quiet in the middle of the city. It is located in the garden area, facing the Lion Grove. The facilities, location and service are relatively good. It is very convenient for visiting. If you are tired of playing in the garden, you can go to the hotel. Take a shower. www.jiahehotel.com

The Shilu area recommendations are as follows:

1 Guwu Hotel --- Yangyang Lane Guwu Road 68261122 260 yuan relatively old and very convenient for shopping www.szgw.com

2. Hendry---Jingde Road, good location, 200-300 yuan, no phone information, please dial 114

Recommended hotels in the park:

1 ． Xinsu International: 500 Because you have not lived there and have no phone information, please dial 114

2. Building Hotel: Unknown, it is said to be very good, friends in Suzhou say so

Transportation: Get off at the train station and take a taxi for 10 yuan to the Lion Forest. There are buses such as You1, You2, 313, 301, 202, etc., all of which are 1 yuan, and the air-conditioned ones are 2 yuan. Once here, there are buses to everywhere. I think this point is the best as it is a transfer station. After exiting the train station, walk straight ahead without stopping. As netizens said, there are a lot of scalpers soliciting customers. I walked forward for about 50 meters and saw the taxi parking spot that netizens mentioned. There were many people there. We are waiting for a car, and there are dedicated management personnel to manage it. Remember, there is a passage lined with green iron bars. If you take the bus, you can go to the bus stop across the road.

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.

Get off at the train station,

Tour: Suzhou has opened a special tourist bus line, divided into two lines, the east line passes through the train station, Beisi Pagoda, East Garden, Lion Grove, and Humble Administrator's Garden , Guanqian Street, etc., and the west line passes through the railway station, Huqiu, Xiyuan, Hanshan Temple, Liuyuan, 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 explore. 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 tricycles in Suzhou, and never go there. Listen to those out-of-town coachmen who recommend you to go to places with very low fares, which are privately chartered. 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. It's funny sometimes. I heard a tricycle driver say to me that the most fun thing to see in Suzhou is 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 Dongxishan, 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. Don’t sell it if recommended by scalpers, drivers, or tricycle drivers. If you buy it for 200 yuan, it may only be worth 20 yuan! ! !
