Experience the beauty of yellow walls and red leaves

In Xingfu Zen Temple, red leaves blend with yellow ones, antiquity reflects vibrancy, the past merges with the present, the temple is embedded in the scenery, presenting the most beautiful autumn and winter. The green water gently waves, reflecting red, green, yellow, and orange, evoking several rounds of ancient charm and deep thoughts. Golden yellow, light yellow, yellow with a hint of green, and the dry and indistinct earthy yellow, along with the strikingly bright red, suddenly create a sense of beauty in the 'forest all dyed'.

Cai's Mansion

Cai's Mansion

Cai's Garden was built in the Qing Dynasty, hidden in a pile of old houses in the old city of Changshu. There is a lotus pond, and a section of a three-curved stone bridge remains on the pond, which originally led to a single-eave rest mountain top pavilion on the north side of the rockery. The rockery around the pond is full of flowers and trees, with a reasonable layout and exquisite. It is a rare private mansion in Changshu, and it is a pity to let it be deserted. (I first learned about this garden from the 'Ancient Bridge of Changshu', but I couldn't find it for a long time. Fortunately, Qingqing helped to contact the homeowner to get a glimpse.)

If I come to Changshu again, I will stay at this hotel. It's nice and not expensive!!!

If I come to Changshu again, I will stay at this hotel. It's nice and not expensive!!!

Changshu Longteng Hilton Hotel Review A few months ago, I noticed that a new Hilton hotel was about to open in Changshu, Suzhou. This will be the third Hilton in Suzhou. So, I decisively booked a stay with 20,000 points and planned to record this experience. Transportation It takes about 40 minutes to drive from downtown Suzhou. The hotel has just opened, and parking is free. The underground parking garage is very impressive, and as soon as you enter the garage, there are staff members to guide you. Accommodation I have a Diamond membership and booked the most basic room type with points, and the system automatically upgraded me to an executive room. I tried to call the hotel to see if I could upgrade to a lake view suite, but the hotel said that whether I could upgrade to a suite depended on the room availability on the day. After checking in, I got a unique room type, which was not a suite or a lake view room, but I was satisfied that the hotel agreed to let me check out at 4 pm. Executive Lounge Experience I was very satisfied with the happy hour at the executive lounge. The food was plentiful and substantial, with 5 hot dishes available, including bullfrog, beef, fish, etc. The lounge also offers a variety of drinks, including vodka. At around 2:30 pm, there were not many people in the lounge, and the afternoon tea desserts were exquisite and pleasing to the eye. Fitness and Pool Facilities The hotel's pool is very special, with a transparent bottom design, which feels wonderful when swimming. The water is 1.5 meters deep, which is very suitable for swimming. The gym is in a great location, with a view of the lake while working out. Surprise Encounter This was a revisit to Changshu. The last time I came to Qinhu Lake, this hotel was still under construction. Now, there is a Hyatt hotel near Kun Cheng Lake, and the Hilton by Qinhu Lake has also opened, so I chose to stay here without hesitation. The hotel lobby is located on the 12th floor, and you can overlook the panoramic view of Qinhu Lake from the lobby. The service is very attentive, and the staff helped me with my luggage to the room. Fortunately, I was upgraded to a lake view room, and the night view from the room was beautiful, and I could enjoy the beautiful sunrise in Changshu in the morning. The hotel breakfast is rich in variety. I heard that the noodles here are comparable to those in Yushan, and I think they taste good, but the beef soup is a little salty. I wanted to try the rice balls, but unfortunately, I didn't get to try them, so I'll have to try them next time. The second floor of the hotel leads directly to the lakeside pier, and there is a Starbucks nearby, as well as many dining and shopping places. It's very pleasant to enjoy the night view here at night. Changshu, a place that carries the dreams of children, is not big, but it is full of fireworks and always reminds me of my beautiful childhood.

Cangshu Zengzhao Garden, a combined Jiangnan garden of two gardens!

Cangshu Zengzhao Garden, a combined Jiangnan garden of two gardens!

Zengzhao Garden, originally named Xukuo Garden, covers an area of more than 20 acres. It was originally part of the relics of the 'Xiaowanchuan' garden of Qian Dai, an imperial inspector during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, and was purchased by the Zeng family during the Qing Dynasty's Tongzhi era. Zeng Garden is adjacent to Zhao Garden, and one can enter both gardens from Zeng Garden. Zengzhao Garden has a history of over a hundred years and is a typical Jiangnan classical garden. At first, Zengzhao Garden seemed to be a small classical garden, but because the two gardens are combined, the place is not so small. We played all morning and didn't want to leave, so beautiful! Every step reveals a new scene, how wonderful!

Yushan National Forest Park, Changshu, Suzhou

Yushan park is undoubtedly one of the most attractive places in Changshu. You can visit there with family and spend a good time. This park is very big. I have covered very little of its attarctions. The reflection of the bridge on the lake is so beautiful. You can enjoy the surrounding beautiful scenario while walking on the wooden walking path by the lake. There is a zoo within walking distance. The park is well maintained. You can also take the park bus service to have a glimpse of the main sites of entire park. If you come with enough time then you can go to the Yushan mountain and Shanghu Lake which is nearby and the other tourist attraction sites in Changshu. #yushan #nationalforestpark #changshu #urbanexplorer#lakes

Changshu | Zhao Garden Zeng Garden, lake and mountain scenery share a garden

Changshu | Zhao Garden Zeng Garden, lake and mountain scenery share a garden

✨Zhao Garden and Zeng Garden in Changshu, Suzhou are two adjacent gardens that are interconnected and are one of the must-visit free attractions in Changshu. They are both classical garden buildings built in the late Qing Dynasty and were once the old site of Qian Dai's 'Xiao Wan Chuan' during the Ming Dynasty. It was not until the Qianjia period of the Qing Dynasty that they were divided into two gardens. 📖Zhao Garden is also known as 'Shui Wu Garden', and Zeng Garden is also known as 'Xu Kuo Garden'. The two gardens borrow the scenery of Yu Mountain, have similar layouts, and both have clear pools, rockeries, and winding corridors. Walking in them is leisurely and the scenery is poetic and picturesque. 🏮I went during the National Day holiday, and there were not many tourists overall. The garden is not big, but there are many highlights. There are only remnants of lotus leaves in the pool in the garden. If you want to see a garden full of lotus flowers, it is recommended to come and watch from June to August each year. 🔹I particularly like the Wind Greeting Bridge in the west side pool. The bridge body is very narrow, with railings on only one side, and they are also very low, so you have to be extra careful when walking. There is a pavilion in the middle of the bridge. Some people sit in it and daydream, while others set up cameras to shoot the cheerful fish in the pool. A row of tables and chairs are placed in the Dianchun Corridor on one side, and tourists are sipping tea from the teahouse in the garden, accompanied by snacks, and talking and laughing. Perhaps this is the comfortable life of a slow-paced small town. 📍Address: No. 26, Jiwanxi, Huancheng West Road, Changshu City, Jiangsu Province 🚇Transportation: Bus Tour 5, 106, etc. 💰Cost: Free ⏱️Opening hours: 8:00-16:30

Jinjiang Inn | Magnolia Changshu Yushan Scenic Area!!

Jinjiang Inn | Magnolia Changshu Yushan Scenic Area!!

| Magnolia Changshu Yushan Scenic Area!! This was my first time visiting Changshu, and I wanted to stay somewhere close to Yushan Park, Fangta Park, and Fangta Street, so I chose the Magnolia Hotel at the foot of Yushan Mountain. Location and Surroundings Location: The hotel is 9–10 km from Changshu Railway Station, about a 30-minute taxi ride. The hotel is right at the entrance of Yushan Park, and you can see the park's fountain (open at night) across the street. The hotel is 2–3 km from Fangta Pedestrian Street by taxi, or you can walk through the alleys of the ancient town to Fangta Park. Surroundings: There is a slightly deserted shopping street nearby, with a Starbucks that doesn't seem to have many customers. There are no convenience stores nearby, so it's not very convenient to buy food. Yushan Park is just across the street, with beautiful scenery during the day and a lively atmosphere at night. To the east of the hotel is an ancient town area, which is nice to walk around during the day. Hotel Price: I stayed during the National Day holiday, and the price was CNY 292.5 per night for a 16–18 m² Elegant Double Room with a 1.65 m bed and a window. Public Areas: The hotel is a standalone building with guest rooms on floors 1–3. There is a free tea bar on the first floor, one elevator, a laundry room with one washing machine and one dryer, and parking is mainly at the entrance, which may be inconvenient for pedestrians. Room Amenities: Two bottles of Nongfu Spring water, a small TV with cable, a desk, a chair, a small sofa, and a wall lamp.
