Tongli Town

The ancient town is very large, it is still possible to go shopping, but the tickets are a bit pitted, the price is very low, I hope to adjust the fare, this fare may only go once. Things are still very delicious, the fish in the rice barrel is good.

It's quite a big place to explore, I got a boat ride, spent 120 rmb to get the whole boat for ourself, with a friendly aunty explaining Tongli history and stuffs like a tour guide. not bad overall

OK, you can bring the elderly and children. When you come here, you can feel the strong humanistic atmosphere. In the small house, there are too many poetic and artistic ideas and ingenuity hidden. People who like to take pictures are probably unable to move here, it is too filmed.

If the prices are more affordable and the ingredients are more grounded and fresh, I want to come here every year, take a vacation for a period of time... The environment is simple and elegant, and the living experience is more dry and breathable and comfortable than the center of Suzhou City... The antique Jiangnan characteristic garden mansion living feeling makes me think about it. When I was a child, I listened to my grandfather’s ancient love...

The scenery is beautiful, the locals are very enthusiastic, and the scenery on both sides of the river is really beautiful. You can also sit by the river and taste local food. Change into ancient clothes and put on a beautiful makeup, you will feel that you are from ancient times.

We arrived at the ancient town during the hottest period and chose to stay in the ancient town scenic area for three nights. Because of the temperature, we had to stay out at night and hide during the day, which allowed us to experience the different customs of the ancient town. Compared with other scenic spots, the ancient town is much quieter, especially before the ticket checkpoint was removed at 5 pm. It took half a day to meet a tourist, giving people a feeling that they were not in a scenic spot but in life. After five o'clock, a large number of tourists appeared from nowhere, and many of them were obviously just taking photos and checking in. At this time, the ancient town had a lot more fireworks, but it also lost its tranquility. If you have time, it is recommended that you stay in the scenic area for a few nights, avoid the period from 17:00 to 19:00 every day, and experience its charm.

The nearest ancient town to Suzhou City, take a taxi for more than 20 kilometers and 45 minutes. There is also a subway, but the time is a bit long and it takes nearly 2 hours. The town is not big, it has a primitive style, the residential houses inside are still the same, there are many rivers, surrounded by the ancient city, there are several special films, such as the third bridge. The most impressive thing is the house of the Pearl Tower, covering an area of 27 acres, the back garden and the big stage, very distinctive. Tuisiyuan is also good, the design has stories and morals, and the knowledge is increased. For example, Pingsheng is three levels, rich and rich. Hahaha 😁

Walking and watching the flowers in Tongli. Although I did my homework in advance, when I came to Tongli, I seemed to remember only three points: one was the Tailai Bridge with only a frame and no top when I first entered the town gate, one was the retreat garden, and the other was the third bridge in Tongli. The garden is said to be a garden built by officials who were ousted due to impeachment. The garden is characterized by the backwater, so it cannot be extended back and forth according to garden practice, but can only be spread horizontally along the river. Among them, six rooms are arranged in one word. The gardener carefully split the roof of the six rooms in two, indicating that not six rooms are juxtaposed, but two and three. To Tongli, one must walk to Tongli three bridges: Changqing Bridge, Taiping Bridge and Geely Bridge. Because only the words on the Geely Bridge are very clear, we walked a few times to find the three bridges. This may be the auspicious meaning of Tongli Three Bridges, so that everyone who walks through the three bridges can be long, the wife is flat, and the good luck. Another interesting thing, as we walked the third bridge, it was lunch, and several restaurant owners who built the pillow river greeted us and had something to eat and go shopping. Although the stomach was cooing, the mouth kept answering: Thank you, just eaten. Looking at the fatigue of our face, it is estimated that no store will believe that we have really eaten. Because we remember the next ancient town Mudu in our heart, we had to aggrieve our stomach. Later, when we returned home, we looked at the Raiders and found that the trip to Tongli was really a leak! I feel that Tongli is like a cup of aromatherapy, only by sitting down with peace of mind and slowly tasting, you can get its true taste. Walking around the flowers and swimming in Tongli, it is really a bit violent!
