Suzhou Trip ~ Strategy Edition
📍📍📍 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
The first of China's four famous gardens: Suzhou Humble Administrator's Garden
🌠Humble Administrator's Garden, located in Gusu District, Suzhou City, was built in 1509 (during the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty). It is one of the four famous gardens in China and the private garden of the imperial historian Wang Xianchen. It is the largest existing classical garden in Suzhou.
🌅It is divided into three parts: the east garden, the middle garden, and the west garden. The middle garden is the essence of the whole garden. The main attractions include Xiangzhou, Lotus Wind Pavilion, Reflection Building, Tower Shadow Pavilion, Orchid Snow Hall, Listening Pavilion, Mandarin Duck Hall, etc. The recommended tour route is to play counterclockwise.
💰Ticket price:
80 yuan/person
🕙Business hours:
7:30-17:00 (stop admission at 16:30)
⏳Play time:
2-3 hours
📍Detailed address:
No. 178, Northeast Street, Gusu District, Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province
Compared to the Humble Administrator's Garden, I prefer this lesser-known free garden in Suzhou
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

Slender West Lake Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
This is Yangzhou.
It's best to come to Yangzhou on weekdays, otherwise the weekend experience may not be as good. The main purpose of visiting Yangzhou is to eat and play. In the morning, arrange to have morning tea. We recommend the Garden Teahouse or Ye Chun on Yanfu Road (after eating, you can take a walk nearby, there are sightseeing boats and the Tianci Zen Temple). If you want something more upscale, you can go to Quyuan for morning tea, which is right next to Shouxihu Lake. For lunch or dinner, you can find a restaurant to try Huaiyang cuisine. We recommend Yangzhou Banquet, Pingshan Banquet, Yangzhou Lion Tower, Xishi Tower, etc. As for places to visit, start with Daming Temple, then go to Shouxihu Lake, Dongguan Street, Ge Garden, He Garden. Yangzhou is a place for slow living, so take your time to savor it.
Slender West Lake in Yangzhou
Slender West Lake is located in the northwest of Yangzhou City in Jiangsu Province. It's a beautiful park with gardens, temples and pagodas. 🦢🏞️🏯

Water town you can’t miss: Yangzhou
Slender West Lake park in Jiangsu is a gorgeous scenic spot you should visit. You can either take a long walk around the lake, enjoying the scenery and cultural spots, or take a long and beautiful ride in the boats.
During spring, weather is nice and flowers make this park an outstanding location. There are many beautiful locations for the perfect picture. Although, during our visit the park was so crowded we couldn’t enjoy it as much as we wanted it. Easy to realize many people travel from far away to visit this gorgeous lake.
Inside the park, there are so many special spots that will bring your attention, from the gardens to the white pagoda, boats decorations and blossomed trees, stone laying, bridges, architecture.. absolutely amazing. This place also holds strong cultural heritage and history.
