Humble Administrator's Garden

📍📍📍 Four attractions in two days and one night: Pingjiang Road (1-5), Humble Administrator's Garden (6-8), Xiyuan Temple (9-10), Shantang Street (11-13) ✔️Pingjiang Road is full of snack streets and boutiques, a combination of hustle and tranquility. Many young ladies dress in very Jiangnan style for photos.📷 ✔️Walking along Pingjiang Road is the Humble Administrator's Garden, which has a history of almost 500 years. The buildings in the courtyard are very distinctive. If you encounter a tour guide, you can listen to the stories about the garden. ✔️The next day, take a taxi to Xiyuan Temple. It's amazing that your heart calms down as soon as you arrive at the temple. It's very suitable for office workers who are always in the workplace. The outside world is too noisy, here you can feel a tranquility that is completely different from usual. ✔️Walking along Xiyuan Temple, you will reach Shantang Street, which is full of special snacks and souvenirs. After the lights on both sides of the waterfront are turned on at night, it completely conforms to my impression of the Jiangnan water town~ Finally, if you have time, I also recommend going to the Suzhou Museum and listening to the Suzhou Pingtan by Teacher Wu

You should always make a trip to Suzhou, listen to the gentle Wu dialect, stroll along Pingjiang Road, and visit the Suzhou gardens. If you are only in Suzhou for two days, then I suggest you quickly take note of this route. 📅 2-day 1-night itinerary - Day1: Humble Administrator's Garden - Suzhou Museum - Hanshan Temple - Shantang Street - Jinji Lake Night View. - Day2: Pingjiang Road - Tongli Ancient Town. 🏯 Suzhou Attractions Checklist - Humble Administrator's Garden: One of the four famous gardens in China, with a scene at every step and a rich historical atmosphere. - Hanshan Temple: A famous site from our language textbooks, with rubbings of 'A Night Mooring by Maple Bridge' in the stele corridor. - Suzhou Museum: Designed by the famous architect I. M. Pei, the building itself is a work of art. - Shantang Street: Black-awning boats, red lanterns, stone bridges, experience the night in the south of the Yangtze River. - Jinji Lake: Suzhou's landmark building, the Gate to the Orient, a perfect combination of modern and traditional. - Pingjiang Road: An important grain storage and canal transport hub in the south of the Yangtze River during the Ming and Qing dynasties. - Tongli Ancient Town: One of the six famous ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River, full of the atmosphere of a waterside town. 🏨 Accommodation Recommendations - Choose to stay on Pingjiang Road, in a riverside hotel or guesthouse, exquisite and comfortable, with a morning stroll on Pingjiang Road. 🍲 Food Recommendations - Crab roe noodles, Nongle Garden barbecue (fruit marinated, sweet taste), Dumb's pan-fried buns (sweet pan-fried buns, juicy).

Suzhou gives me a very healing feeling, as life here moves at a slow pace. Taking a break without feeling guilty is possible. Sitting on a small bridge in the Pingjiang Road historical district (free) and watching an old man play chess across the river, young people chatting and laughing on a boat, and girls in qipao taking photos under the trees is very comfortable and leisurely... (For sisters who love photography, you can buy a qipao or Hanfu before going to Suzhou, it's very photogenic) The local delicacies are made delicately and exquisitely, with a dazzling variety of pastries and diverse fillings, giving a sense of a small sparrow with all its vital organs. (Too much can be cloying, so taste in moderation) The noodles are slightly sweet, and the dishes tend to be sweet as well. If you're not used to it, prepare some chili oil or Lao Gan Ma in advance, otherwise, after a few days here, your blood sugar will soar! This is advice from someone from Hubei. The main attractions are gardens, which best represent Suzhou's aesthetics. The structure of the garden construction and some of the bonsai shapes are very characteristic of Suzhou style, and you will be captivated by the classical Chinese beauty here. The Lion Grove Garden and the Humble Administrator's Garden are similar in style, and you only need to visit one. They both require an entrance fee of 70/80 RMB. The commercial streets are mainly beautiful at night. In the evening, Shantang Street (free) is very crowded, with alleys on both sides of the small river packed with people. There are snacks, pubs, music, etc. (Be mindful of your belongings! With the crowds, it's easy to get separated from friends.) After staying in Suzhou for four days, it was very pleasing to the eyes, as I really like the scenery and the classical atmosphere here. The only thing is that I'm not quite used to the sweet taste of the food, but everything else is great

Compared to the Humble Administrator's Garden, I prefer this lesser-known free garden in Suzhou! When it comes to Suzhou, the first garden that comes to mind is definitely the Humble Administrator's Garden. Indeed, the Humble Administrator's Garden is famous all over the world and has its unique historical culture. However, the downside of being famous is overcrowding and the same old check-in routine. Having lived in Suzhou for over a decade, I recommend a lesser-known garden that locals prefer for weekend strolls - Dongyuan. Dongyuan doesn't have the historical background of the Humble Administrator's Garden, but it excels in being closer to nature. On the calm lake surface, swans, mandarin ducks and ducks are frolicking freely. There are also the unique pavilions of Suzhou gardens. It's less crowded, free, and a great place to relax in the afternoon. Humble Administrator's Garden
