Suzhou/20 Essential Tips to Avoid Tourist Traps❗ - You should always make a trip to the south of the Yangtze River. Suzhou is like the gentle moonlight of the south. - ✅After many trips to Suzhou within a year, here are 20 tips to avoid tourist traps, hoping to provide some references for friends. - 1. Suzhou does not have an airport, but it has two train stations: Suzhou Station and Suzhou North Station. 2. Suzhou North Station is a high-speed train station, which is relatively far from the city center. It is recommended to get off at Suzhou Station, which is in the city center and more convenient for transportation. 3. The roads in Suzhou are mostly straight, making it easy to navigate, so even those with a poor sense of direction won't easily get lost. 4. Pingjiang Road is the most well-preserved ancient river street in Suzhou Ancient City. Don't forget to visit Da Ru Lane, Lilac Lane, and Niu Family Lane. 5. Besides Pingjiang Road, you can also take a sculling boat ride on Shantang Street. 6. There are many gardens in Suzhou, and you must visit the Humble Administrator's Garden. If time permits, Canglang Pavilion is also worth a visit. 7. For those who plan to visit gardens at night, it is recommended to go to the Master of Nets Garden, where there is a live Kunqu opera performance. 8. Suzhou Museum is open from 9 am to 5 pm, closed on Mondays, and stops admitting visitors after 4 pm. 9. For Shantang Street, take Metro Line 2 to Shantang Street Station and exit from Exit 3, which is closer. 10. For Suzhou's night scenery, besides Shantang Street, you can also visit Jinji Lake. There is a musical fountain show on weekends starting at 7:30 pm, lasting 20 minutes. 11. Eslite Bookstore is next to Jinji Lake, featuring the most beautiful staircase for a photo opportunity. 12. You can listen to Kunqu opera and Pingtan at the Suzhou Kunqu Museum, Pingtan Museum, Shantang Kunqu Theatre, Shantang Academy, etc. 13. Besides Zhouzhuang, Mudu and Tongli ancient towns are also worth staying for a few days. 14. The entrance fee for Lingyan Mountain in Mudu is only 1 yuan, which is an absolute bargain for a scenic spot. 15. For late-night snacks in Suzhou, you can go to Jingde Road Wu Qu Fang, Nanyuan Road Nanyuan Bridge South, and other places in the city center. 16. If you're going to the Twin Towers Market, be prepared to queue. If you're going just for the sake of checking in, it's not highly recommended. 17. If you want to eat noodles in Suzhou, I personally recommend Tongde Xing for its authentic taste. The Mengzi Cross-Bridge Rice Noodles from old Suzhou are also worth trying. 18. The signature dish, Squirrel-shaped Mandarin Fish, is really good. It's my personal favorite, and you can hardly go wrong with it. 19. For accommodation, you can choose to stay near Pingjiang Road, which is close to the attractions. 20. For those buying souvenirs, you can consider purchasing some Suzhou-style pastries and various local candies. Thank you for reading, and if you like it, give the editor a thumbs up🖼️ - Suzhou / Suzhou Travel / Suzhou Travel Guide

Suzhou Museum is located in Pingjiang District (204 Dongbei Jie). An interesting place for photographs is the white buildings of the museum on the water, they represent the museum on the Internet. They express the idea of the connection between the past and the present, their architecture has both ancient Chinese and modern features. There are ancient Chinese things here, but there are also exhibitions of modern art. You can also walk around the territory of the museum, it is like a big garden, here you can see different trees, for example, bamboo. There is water and bridges, you can see big red fish. It is also interesting that the museum changes at different times of the day, there is a play of light and shadow. #urbanexplorer#awesomepic

#chinatrip This is one of the most anticipated museum I ever want to visit of all time. The building structure and colour reminds me of an anime. Thousands years of historical antiques are displayed all over the museum and mostly come with description on what is the antique and how it comes about. There is also a lake within the building that gives a different feel and there is also a hut for people to take picture and chill too! Psst! The entrance ticket is affordable and need to queue 5-10mins before the allocated visit time!

When it comes to museums, Suzhou is definitely one of the most unique. It was one of the earlier museums I visited. When I first saw it, I was amazed that a museum could be made like this, it was really stunning! ✅ Three Main Exhibition Halls ◾ The Wuzhong Pagoda is divided into the Pagoda Radiating Auspicious Light and the Treasures of Tiger Hill. It displays precious cultural relics found from the Ruiguang Pagoda during the Eastern Wu period. ◾ The Treasures of Wu are divided into Morning Light Faintly Shining, Contending Lords of Spring and Autumn, Brocade of the South of the Yangtze, and Rhythms of the Metropolis. It showcases archaeological artifacts unearthed in Suzhou. ◾ The Elegance of Wuzhong is divided into Study Long Objects, Treasures of Pottery Governance, Ingenious Strategies for Carving Jade, Divine Work of Carving, Elegant Study Room Affairs, Casual Pastimes, Ink Play in the Thatched Cottage, and Brocade of Floating Life. It displays cultural relics collected and appreciated in Suzhou during the Ming and Qing dynasties. ✅ Treasures of the Museum 1️⃣ The Pearl Relic Stupa A container for offering relics, connected with pearls and other treasures, the stupa is 1.22 meters tall and made entirely of nanmu wood. Especially the dragon, which is made of over 36,000 pearls strung together with silver thread. 2️⃣ Ginkgo Wood Painted Statues of the Four Heavenly Kings The inner wall is inscribed with the words 'Recorded on April 18th of the Dazhong Xiangfu sixth year', and the outer wall of the wooden case is painted with images of the Four Heavenly Kings, bearing the artistic legacy of Wu Daozi, the painting sage of the Tang Dynasty. 3️⃣ Relic Pearls Relic pearls are crystalline remains left after the cremation of ancient enlightened monks. There are a total of 9 relic pearls in the gourd bottle. 4️⃣ Gold Script on Blue Paper 'Lotus Sutra' Discovered in the Ruiguang Pagoda, the sutra is written in gold on blue-green paper and is illustrated with patterns. 5️⃣ Secret-Color Porcelain Lotus Bowl The porcelain bowl consists of a bowl and a stand, with an even glaze. The outer wall of the bowl, the surface of the stand, and the ring foot are all decorated with double-layered lotus flowers, raised like shallow bas-relief. It presents a jade-like warmth and is considered a standard piece of secret-color porcelain from the Five Dynasties to the Northern Song period. ✅ Courtyard Architecture The final masterpiece of world-renowned architect I.M. Pei, with a design concept of 'Chinese yet modern, Suzhou yet new', presents Suzhou-style architecture in a completely new way. Simple geometric lines, the use of black, white, and gray, and the interweaving of light and shadow create the beauty of a dance, outlining an ink-washed Jiangnan... Mr. I.M. Pei called it: 'My little daughter'. In fact, compared to the artifacts in the museum, this building has also become a collection. ◾ Fragmented Mountain Faux Rocks: Originating from the landscape paintings of Mi Fu in the Suzhou Museum, Taihu rocks are selected and cut, and then torched to represent the depth of ink in ink paintings. ◾ The water courtyard in the central atrium: Starting from the classical Chinese garden, it incorporates elements of pavilions, bridges, platforms, and sand, maintaining the charm of Suzhou-style gardens. ◾ Small scenes in the exhibition halls: The combination of Taihu rocks and pomegranate trees, with a view at every step and the use of light and shadow, many of the museum's finishing touches are small and exquisite, very photogenic. 📍204 Northeast Street, Gusu District, near Beisita Station on Subway Line 4 ⏰Opening hours: 9:00-17:00 ➡️Suzhou City Tourist Information Center (opposite the museum) offers 3 free stamps ➡️Museum cultural and creative store, any consumption can get 15 stamps 📌Reservation Method Free reservation through the official WeChat account of Suzhou Museum, entry with ID card.

Traveling from Wuxi to Suzhou, this time I chose to stay in the old city area, which is closer to various attractions, making dining, lodging, and transportation very convenient. The small city and small scenes are full of life! The old city area of Suzhou has largely maintained its original appearance, with no high-rise buildings, white walls and black tiles, small bridges over flowing water, and an antique charm! A day in Gusu, in the morning, visit the Lion Grove Garden, Humble Administrator's Garden, and Suzhou Museum together, and in the afternoon, go to Tiger Hill, Maple Bridge/Cold Mountain Temple, and Lingering Garden for a tour. The Lion Grove Garden is one of the four famous gardens in Suzhou, and the most famous feature is the lake rockery, where the rocks resemble lions, forming a 'forest of lions'! The Humble Administrator's Garden is ranked first among the four famous gardens in China and is a model of classical gardens in the south of the Yangtze River. It is famous for its long history, natural style, and elegant scenery. The Suzhou Museum was originally established in 1960 at the site of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's Loyalty King's Mansion. In 2006, the Suzhou Museum designed by I.M. Pei was completed. The new museum combines traditional Suzhou architectural style with modern minimalist architectural features, looking both classical and elegant as well as fresh and beautiful! 'The foremost scenic spot in the land south of the Yangtze River,' they say, is Tiger Hill. The most famous attractions of Tiger Hill are the Tiger Hill Pagoda and the Sword Pool. The Tiger Hill Pagoda is the world's second most leaning tower and has a history of over a thousand years. This seven-story, eight-sided tower is 47.7 meters tall and leans towards the northeast. The top of the tower is 2.34 meters off-center, with a maximum inclination of 3 degrees and 59 minutes, and the Tiger Hill Pagoda is also known as 'China's Leaning Tower of Pisa.' From above, the Sword Pool resembles a flat-lying sword and is the most mysterious place in Tiger Hill, with many legends surrounding it. 'Moon sets, crows cry, frost fills the sky; Maple trees and fishermen's lights face my sleepless sorrow. Outside Gusu city, Cold Mountain Temple, midnight bell reaches the passenger boat.' This timeless quatrain has made the famous Cold Mountain Temple in Gusu. Once one of China's ten famous temples, the temple has many ancient relics, including the stone inscription of Zhang Ji's poem 'Mooring by Maple Bridge at Night,' stone carvings of Hanshan and Shide, fragments of inscriptions written by Wen Zhengming and Tang Yin, and outside the temple, the ancient Maple Bridge. The Lingering Garden is one of the four famous gardens in China, a large classical private garden representing the Qing Dynasty style. The garden is known for its architectural art, with spacious and magnificent halls, courtyards full of changes, and an irregular layout that integrates garden buildings with mountains, water, and rocks to create a natural charm, truly unique!
