Mudu Ancient Town in Suzhou

🚗🚗🚗 Travel Route: Shantang Street in Mudu → Lingyan Mountain Scenic Area → Yan's Garden → Hongyin Mountain House → Gusu Garden → Banyan Mansion Visitors who come to Suzhou to experience the ancient town can take the No. 5 subway from the city to the Lingyan Mountain Scenic Area in Mudu for a hike, symbolically charging a 1 yuan entrance fee. Mountains are a feature of Wu Zhong, and the temples on Lingyan Mountain are famous. If you don't climb Lingyan Mountain, you can go to Tianping Mountain, 🎫30, it's great to see the red maple in autumn, usually quiet! After descending the mountain, have lunch on Shantang Street in Mudu Ancient Town. The joint ticket for Mudu Ancient Town scenic area is 78 yuan, 66 yuan online, with the Water Charm Jiangsu Travel Annual Card, Suzhou Leisure Annual Card, and Wu Zhong Travel Annual Card, you can enjoy these attractions. Yan's Garden was the home of Mudu's richest man in the past; Mingyue Temple is a small temple on the street, not famous, and not many people visit; Hongyin Mountain House was the residence of Mudu literati Xu Shiyuan, and the civilian palace of Emperor Qianlong; Inside Gusu Garden, there is the Yao Jianping Embroidery Art Museum, where you can appreciate the beauty of Suzhou embroidery, and the Wang Lipeng Art Museum is also located there. The Banyan Mansion was the residence of Feng Guifen, now an educational base, free of charge. If you don't know Feng Guifen, you should be familiar with Lin Zexu and the Westernization Movement; Feng Guifen was a disciple of Lin Zexu and also related to the Westernization Movement! Mudu Ancient Town looks 'shabby', retaining the taste of local life, very few shops have the 'recognition' of ancient town attractions, and the shopping prices are quite fair. I really like the date paste sesame cakes made by Qianshengyuan next to Yan's Garden, 5 yuan each, sometimes still warm. Now they have developed many new flavors, osmanthus flavor, jasmine flavor. It seems quite hard to find warm cakes elsewhere, naturally, many shops on that street sell date paste sesame cakes. There is also black rice, which is Wu Zhentang. The pickles from Luzhi are also inexpensive, and you can buy them there.
