The Humble Administrator’s Garden is one of the most beautiful classical gardens I’ve ever visited. The landscape is peaceful, filled with lakes, traditional pavilions, and winding pathways. Even with many visitors, the garden still feels calm and elegant. It’s a great place to slow down, take photos, and enjoy traditional Chinese architecture. Highly recommended if you visit Suzhou!
The Humble Administrator's Garden truly lives up to its reputation! The garden scenery is incredibly charming, with pavilions, terraces, bridges, and flowing water arranged in a harmonious and picturesque way. Every step reveals a new vista, exuding the elegance of a Jiangnan garden. Every snapshot is a beautiful scene! The only minor drawback is the sheer number of tourists. To quietly appreciate the scenery, you have to squeeze through the crowds, which slightly diminishes the immersive experience. However, overall, it's definitely worth a visit. If you enjoy garden scenery, give it a try! I recommend going early to avoid the crowds!

Niushou Mountain Cultural Tourism Area is definitely worth a visit! The scenic area boasts a tranquil environment, magnificent architecture, and the Buddha Palace is particularly breathtaking. The scenery is beautiful, the cultural heritage is profound, and the visit experience is superb. The only downside is that it gets extremely crowded during holidays.

Slender West Lake is definitely worth a visit. Every step reveals a beautiful scene, and each place offers a different view. Right now, there's a chrysanthemum exhibition, with all sorts of chrysanthemums in various shapes and colors—it's absolutely gorgeous. Walking through it all, you can't help but marvel at the ingenious and unique design.
The hotel boasts a very convenient location, directly opposite Slender West Lake. The beautiful outdoor environment is incredibly relaxing. The butler service, especially the staff member "Little Radish," was particularly commendable; they even thoughtfully recommended nearby attractions. Overall, the hotel offers comfortable facilities and excellent service! The private hot spring is highly recommended! 👍

The key to the best one-day tour of Wuzhen lies in efficiently connecting the East and West sections, experiencing the different charms of the water town at dawn and dusk. The following itinerary combines classic attractions with off-peak travel tips, helping you fully explore Wuzhen in one day.
Overall, the experience in Wuzhen was excellent. The ancient town's architecture has been largely preserved while selectively updated. Walking along Xizha Street from south to north allows you to fully experience Wuzhen's architectural style, customs, and culinary culture. The best times to visit are after 6 PM and before 10 AM, when the lights come on or the sun is high in the sky, to experience the tranquility of Wuzhen. Therefore, staying overnight in Wuzhen is recommended. The Xizha scenic area is not large; a round trip from south to north can be completed in 2-3 hours. Along the way, you'll find historical sites such as Tong'an Inn, Zhaoming Academy, and a theater, as well as restaurants and eateries. Wuzhen boasts excellent infrastructure, public facilities, and a high level of service. Considering all aspects, Wuzhen Xizha is definitely worth a visit.

My wife and I spent most of the day there, and apart from being a bit crowded, it was a great place. There were drinking fountains, it was a forest-style zoo, the animals were all in good spirits, and it was excellent value for money.
There were so many people at Hongshan on the weekend, haha. You can scan your ID card to enter, and the area is divided into sections by animal type, which is simple and easy to understand. The animals all looked great, and it's a place where you can spend a whole day!

Who wrote in a travel guide that Hanshan Temple is too small to be worth seeing? That's all nonsense. Whether you can appreciate its charm depends on whether you look carefully. There's a hall dedicated to Hanshan and Master Shide, displaying various calligraphic works, including poems and calligraphy by different calligraphers, such as "A Night Mooring at Maple Bridge." Watching the bell from the bell tower is also a great experience; it's quite fun to bring children.
This is a scenic spot that can be directly entered with the Jiangsu Water Charm Card. It's very famous because of its association with ancient poems, but the temple grounds are quite small. Since I'm not particularly interested in Buddhism, I only wanted to see the cultural attractions, so the only one I saw was Yu Yue's "Mooring at Maple Bridge at Night" stele. I heard there's also a stele by Yue Fei, but the corridor was under construction, so I didn't see it… If your itinerary is too packed, you might not need to come here.

Yuantouzhu Scenic Area, located at No. 1 Yuanzhu Road, Binhu District, Wuxi City, is one of the main attractions of Taihu Lake Scenic Area and a national 5A-level scenic spot. Covering an area of 5.39 square kilometers, the scenic area is named for a giant rock jutting into the lake that resembles a turtle raising its head. It boasts numerous attractions such as Chongshan Yinxiu and Yuanzhu Chuntao, as well as the largest cherry blossom garden in Jiangnan. In spring, the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, creating a captivating scene. Guo Moruo once praised it, saying, "The most beautiful place in Taihu Lake is undoubtedly Yuantouzhu."
It's definitely worth visiting. You can enter by scanning your QR code and getting a ticket. University students get a discount. The island has beautiful scenery and is perfect for relaxing. The day I visited was especially sunny, and there were seagulls too. It's a pity I didn't come in April, so there were no cherry blossoms. 🌸

Some interesting attractions were cancelled, as were the nighttime attractions; the park closes at 5 PM, and this wasn't mentioned when purchasing tickets. The rides are just so-so, typical of all theme parks, nothing special. I won't be coming back.
We took the kids there over the weekend, and it was a lot of fun. Although the hotel is a bit old, it was still very clean. Our housekeeper, Ms. Wang Ying, contacted us in advance to decorate the room and prepare fruit and snacks. The kids were hungry in the evening, so each of them had a milk and biscuits – so thoughtful! Breakfast was very crowded… While the selection wasn't huge, the quality was decent; the noodles and donuts were delicious. I highly recommend this hotel; it's excellent.

The best garden in Suzhou hands down! Do not bother visiting any other gardens unless you have plenty of time in the area. However even on weekdays and during the low season, this place is still mobbed by local tourists, so be prepared!
I absolutely love this place! I took my two-and-a-half-year-old daughter and we explored the entire maze of the Lion Grove Garden. She still wanted more and wanted to come back again. The garden scenery is absolutely stunning; admiring the flowers and the views is simply wonderful.

Tiger Hill is renowned as the "Number One Scenic Spot in Wuzhong." The Leaning Pagoda, a thousand years old, and the Sword Pool, its waters crystal clear, are steeped in history, bearing witness to the tales of King Helü and the footsteps of Su Dongpo. In late autumn, the ancient pagoda is draped in the golden hues of ginkgo leaves, and the stone paths are dotted with layers of crimson maple leaves. A gentle breeze stirs, yellow butterflies flutter, and the crimson sunset paints the landscape in warm light, imbuing the millennia-old legends with a sense of peace. Looking back from the summit, the city of Suzhou is shrouded in mist and water, while this hill and valley quietly breathes the rhythm of history amidst its vibrant colors.
The autumn colors of Tiger Hill are vibrant and dazzling, as if nature has spilled its palette. Ginkgo trees shimmer with golden hues, tallow trees display a rich purple hue, sweetgum trees are ablaze with fiery red, and there are also orange maples, brown beech trees, and many other colorful tree species intertwined together, making Tiger Hill ablaze with color, a truly beautiful sight.
