Humble Administrator's Garden (Zhuozheng Garden)

avatar
Lua TC
拙政园的布局巧妙,融合了山水、建筑和植物的自然美,体现了“咫尺之内,自成天地”的园林艺术精髓。园中的假山、池塘、亭台楼阁错落有致,步移景异,令人流连忘返。

Hanshan Temple

Night mooring at Fengqiao - Take the kids on a text trip. There were a lot of people welcoming the God of Wealth on the fifth day of the first lunar month. It should be fine if it was quiet at other times. Rose cakes and vegetarian noodles are a paradise for vegetarians. I have been a vegetarian for more than ten years and have eaten the most delicious flower cakes. I hope the emergency measures at the entrance of Hanshan Temple will be improved. I was worried about stampedes when there were many people. After entering the temple, it was much better and the people were much more dispersed. The incense was very popular. The volunteers pulled out all the unburned red candles, which was a bit wasteful. I only burned incense and put the red candles in the merit box. The lay people will arrange to use them when there are fewer people.

The old abbot wrote the blessing word did not get it, the attraction management is very reasonable, clean, orderly, the plain noodles, buns, the taste is very good, adults and children like it! Hanshan Temple outside Gusu City, the bells to the passenger ship in the middle of the night.

Lion Grove Garden(Shizilin Garden)

_We***12
Garden, flower windows, virtual scenery, real scene, really nothing can do Suzhou and Hangzhou, what the ancestors are really proud of! The Lion Forest and the Humble Administrator's Garden have more high walls and more atmospheric. The partition of a board separates the room between the male hall and the female. The diamond-shaped floor tiles represent the male hall. The men need to have angularities and angles. The square floor tiles are for the woman who is the female to do things.

Zhouzhuang

M46***74
Still very user-friendly, order in Trip.com in advance, use ID card brush, can also enter the park repeatedly, convenient, worth a visit! The small bridge and flowing water in Zhouzhuang Ancient Town is a typical representative of Jiangnan Water Town. There are not many people and the original appearance is maintained!

Tiger Hill(Huqiu) Scenic Area

avatar
_We***12
The leaning tower of Huqiu, the temple where Sun Wukong becomes, and the beautiful tulips 🌷 Half-price tickets are very suitable during the Spring Festival. There are a lot of people. Huqiu generally refers to the Huqiu Mountain Scenic Area, which is located in the northwest of the Gucheng District of Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province, 3.5 kilometers away from the city center, with geographical coordinates of 31°19′ north latitude and 120°7′ east longitude. Area: It covers an area of ​​72.8 hectares, of which the core scenic area covers an area of ​​15.97 hectares. It is known as the "No. 1 Scenic Spot in Wuzhong". Historical Origin and Early Development: According to legend, it was the palace of King Helu of Wu during the Spring and Autumn Period. It began to become a famous Buddhist mountain and tourist attraction from the mausoleum of the emperor in the Six Dynasties. In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Situ Wang Xun and his brother Sikong Wang Min gave up their houses for Huqiu Mountain Temple. Name Changes: In the Tang Dynasty, in order to avoid the name of Li Hu, the grandfather of Li Yuan, Emperor Gaozu of Tang, Huqiu was once renamed Wuqiu, and the name of the temple was also changed to Wuqiu Baoen Temple. In the Song Dynasty, it was changed back to Huqiu Mountain and renamed "Yunyan Zen Temple". Important development stages: During the Five Dynasties, the temples and scenic spots in Tiger Hill were repaired and developed, and the Tiger Hill Pagoda was built at this time. Tiger Hill was most prosperous during the Kangxi to Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Qianlong both visited the south six times. The Broken Beam Hall: Also known as the Second Mountain Gate, it was built in the fourth year of Zhizheng in the Yuan Dynasty (1344). It is the second mountain gate to enter Tiger Hill. Its top ridge purlin is made of two pieces of wood. The architectural layout is rigorous and colorful, and important inscriptions are preserved. The Sword-Testing Stone: Located on the east side of the mountain climbing stone path, it is a huge stone with cracks on the surface and shaped like a sword, which is associated with ancient legends. The Tomb of Ancient Zhenniang: In the pavilion opposite the Sword-Testing Stone is a square tomb from the Tang Dynasty. Zhenniang was a woman who fled from the north to Suzhou during the An-Shi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty. There is an interesting pillow stone. Legend has it that if a pregnant family throws a small stone on it and it stays on it, it means it is a boy, and if it falls off, it means it is a girl.

Lingering Garden(Liuyuan Garden)

M49***63
The Liuyuan Garden is small but exquisite. There are many people, but they visit and take photos in an orderly manner. Being in the garden, it feels like traveling back to ancient times. It is really interesting to see many beautiful young ladies in the garden taking photos in Hanfu, very cool!

Suzhou Museum

yujie21
You need to make a reservation one week in advance on WeChat to visit Suzhou Museum.Overall, I was able to secure a reservation and visit the museum, but since it was on Saturday, there were too many people. I could only take a quick walk through and then leave.

Tongli Town

Anonymous User
The scenic spot of Tongli Ancient Town is very large. The ancient town is more lively and there are many ancient buildings. The ticket price is too expensive and the price is not high. It is better to go to Nanxun Ancient Town for free tickets. After Nanxun Ancient Town is free of tickets, many tourists are very lively.

Shantang Street

与神同行abc
Shantang Street is an ancient commercial street in Suzhou, full of the strong Jiangnan water town style. The ancient buildings on both sides of the street retain many traditional characteristics, shops, tea houses and food stalls are dazzling, and the folk art performances on the street have added a little bit of anger. Walking along the street, you often can see the boats on the water, against the ancient bridges, as if passing through time. The food here is also worth a try, sugar gourd, Xiaolongbao, sweet-scented osmanthus cake and other authentic snacks, full of Suzhou flavor. At night, the lights on the street are brighter and the atmosphere is more charming, especially when strolling along the river, the breeze is blowing, and it has a unique charm. Although there are many tourists, its lively and historical atmosphere are intertwined, giving a unique experience of ancient and modern coexistence.
