🛣️Route:
Yangcheng Lake Service Area➡️Bicester Village Suzhou➡️Chongyuan Temple➡️Shanshui Crab Manor
1️⃣Yangcheng Lake Service Area
📍Suzhou Industrial Park Business District
💰0 yuan
🕒All day
🌸Recommended visiting time: 1 hour
🍃Recommended reason: It's really not me being outrageous, Yangcheng Lake Service Area is so worth visiting! Having been to so many service areas in China, Yangcheng Lake Service Area is definitely No.1! The service area itself has 2 small gardens, super high aesthetic value, and even fountains. Inside, it has restored the scenery of small bridges over flowing water, and more exaggeratedly, it even has a stage set up, with dance performances every day. The service area has everything you need for shopping and food, and there's even an Extreme Krypton test drive store, so impressive!
2️⃣Bicester Village Suzhou
📍No. 969, Yangcheng Lake Huanlu
💰0 yuan
🕒10:00-21:00
🌸Recommended visiting time: 2 hours to half a day
🍃Recommended reason: Just over three kilometers away from Yangcheng Lake Service Area, you can come to this European-style Bicester Village Suzhou. It's completely pet-friendly, and you can even rent pet strollers for free. The overall area is quite large, so it's not crowded when shopping, and having your dog in the cart doesn't interfere with the experience at all.
3️⃣Chongyuan Temple
📍No. 33, Yangcheng Lake Peninsula Yangcheng Huanlu, Weiting Town
💰20 yuan
🕒7:30-17:00
🌸Recommended visiting time: 1-2 hours
🍃Recommended reason: Chongyuan Temple was founded during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Liang dynasty, just one year after the construction of Hanshan Temple, and it is also a rare temple that has withdrawn from the 4A tourist attraction category. Chongyuan Temple is not pet-friendly, and dogs are not allowed in. However, the scenery of Chongyuan Temple is really beautiful, with ancient lotuses surrounding the Water Guanyin Temple, absolutely stunning! The Guanyin Pavilion inside has the tallest indoor Guanyin statue, standing at 33 meters, which is also very worth seeing.
4️⃣Shanshui Crab Manor
📍No. 109, A Area, Xiangfuyuan, Yingbin West Road
💰Average cost 150 yuan per person
🕒10:00-21:00
🌸Recommended dishes: Hairy crab, drunken crab, spicy and sour shredded potatoes, silverfish omelette, steamed whitefish
🍃Recommended reason: Last year I went to Lotus Island to eat crabs. Although the crabs were delicious, I personally found the local dishes to be average, and the environment was a bit misleading. This year, coming to Bacheng to eat hairy crabs, this crab manor is the only one with a large riverside location. The weather is neither cold nor hot, and it's so comfortable to eat hairy crabs! Of course, the hairy crabs are still very delicious, 90 yuan a pair, and the local dishes also taste good. We ordered a few dishes to accompany the rice, all super fragrant~ And it's definitely pet-friendly!
🌈Tips:
✔️It is recommended to drive to Yangcheng Lake
✔️Dogs are not allowed in Chongyuan Temple, but all other places are pet-friendly
Originally planned to go to the holy land of great good, accidentally saw a water lotus temple in full bloom on Yangcheng Lake on the Internet - Chongyuan Temple, immediately changed the itinerary. The Chongyuan Temple was built in the Liangwu Emperor period in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and it is only a year away from the Hanshan Temple built in the same era, and it is now 1504 years old.
The huge water Guanyin Pavilion and indoor Guanyin video, the Grand Xiong Pavilion is spectacular, the surrounding architectural landscape is exquisite and elegant, the courtyard of the Suzhai Pavilion is very beautiful, and the plain noodles and side dishes are very attentive. The monks are calm. The lotus has not yet opened, and it is vast. Looking forward to visiting again in summer.
There is a reputation of the country of water and heaven and Buddha, a temple full of Zen, especially the Guanyin Dashi Pavilion is very shocking! The plain noodles in the monastery are also great and worth a try. I wish my friends auspicious at six o'clock and everything goes well!
The Chongyuan Temple, which was decided to go temporarily at noon on the weekend, saw the publicity last summer. I really wanted to see the Guanyin video surrounded by lotus flowers, but I have not been empty. The only regret this time is that I didn't catch up with the vegetarian noodles. The vegetarian restaurant is open until 13:30 pm. I just missed it. Wait till next time.
Very good, the incense is very strong, the building is very magnificent, if the lotus is in full bloom in June and July, it will be better to book the ticket one day in advance is 16, the Duobao Building is being renovated, I can't go up, I will go again next time, the Guanyin Dashi Pavilion of the water does not know if I can go up next time.
