Suzhou Two-Day Tour Guide
Suzhou | Two-Day Tour Guide
I originally planned to play in Suzhou for three days, but then I added Wuzhen and Hangzhou to my itinerary, shortening the time to two days. After playing, I found that the time was enough.
Stay: Guanqian Street Transportation: Taxi, Subway (Suzhou e-travel app)
Day1️⃣ Pingjiang Road️ Jinji Lake️ The Gate of the Orient️ Guanqian Street
Set off at 4 pm, first went to Pingjiang Road for two and a half hours, ate Meiyuexuan plum blossom cake and chicken feet corner. Going to Pingjiang Road after four o'clock in the afternoon feels just right, the sunlight is not dazzling, and you can also take pictures with golden hair.
Then take a taxi to the Jinji Lake big frame, which is a bit far from this place and other attractions. Arrange it on the first night, and you can see the sunset at night. You can also see the Gate of the Orient.
When it gets dark, take the subway to the east gate. Many people squat on the ground to check in and take pictures.
Then take a taxi to Guanqian Street, eat Dongwu Sujinji, his Suzhou-style mung bean soup is great, it is a huge relief from the heat with a mint flavor.
Finally, walk back to the hotel, ordered takeout from Xinzhenyuan because it was already after nine o'clock when I returned to the hotel, I didn't want to queue up, and some Xinzhenyuan stores close at 9 pm. Ordered small wontons, egg yolk paper skin shumai, pan-fried buns. The shumai was a bit greasy, but the pan-fried buns were delicious.
Day2️⃣ Humble Administrator's Garden️ Suzhou Museum (this museum)️ Xiyuan Temple️ Lingering Garden️ Shantang Street
The Humble Administrator's Garden and the Suzhou Museum are next to each other, so it's very convenient to walk together. The Suzhou Museum is free, make an appointment in advance on the official WeChat account. I booked the earliest 9 am to 10 am. But I didn't want to waste time, so I went to the Humble Administrator's Garden first, which opens at 7:30 am, played a round, and found the timing was just right, not too tiring either.
The ticket for the Humble Administrator's Garden is 70 yuan. We arrived at 7:40. Because it's not a holiday, there weren't many people early, and it wasn't too hot. It's really beautiful step by step. After strolling for 2 hours, it was just 9:30 for shopping, and then caught up with the museum opening. When we came out, there were more people. So I suggest going early.
Started visiting the Suzhou Museum at 9:40, it's so beautiful, the architecture is very distinctive. If you're tired, you can rest at the koi pond in the middle, the breeze is very cool. Visited the museum for 1.5 hours, came out at 11:00.
Then took a taxi to Xiyuan Temple, the ticket is 15 yuan, strolled for 2 hours. It is said that Xiyuan Temple is also the Cat Temple. Arrived at Xiyuan Temple at 11:30, just in time for lunch. Ate vegetarian buns and vegetarian noodles, both were delicious. After dinner, strolled around, there really are a lot of little cats and pigeons. The cats are not afraid of people at all, many people are feeding the cats cat sticks. After visiting Xiyuan Temple, it was almost 13:30.
The next stop was walking to the Lingering Garden, the ticket is 45 yuan. Arrived at the Lingering Garden at 13:50, strolled until 15:10. It's not as big as the Humble Administrator's Garden, but the scenery is also nice, very photogenic.
The last stop was Shantang Street. It's not big but crowded. Ate Jiang Laozao. We arrived early, and were waiting for the lights all evening. The lights didn't come on until 18:47 because the lighting time is different every day, so we could only squat. But it was also quite beautiful.
Ate dinner at Hongxinlou, the Suzhou-style dishes were quite good. Back at the hotel, I ordered Grandma's mung bean soup, which didn't taste as good as Sujinji.
The next morning, I took the bus to Wuzhen. The Suzhou two-day tour ended perfectly.
This browsing of Humble Administrator's Garden and Subo, it is with Mr. Zhang's enthusiastic, professional and patient explanation, which makes our experience extremely profound. Take the children to make up a cultural class. Very very good experience! Thanks for meeting! I wish Mr. Zhang good health and spread your enthusiasm and professionalism to more people! Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
The leader explained very well, and presented the essence of Suzhou gardens to us! The end of the whole trip was like having a pair of eyes to discover beauty. There is also a superb photography technology to let our shadow naturally integrate into the scenery of Suzhou gardens.
Master Bei's mountain-blocking work, the design of Suzhou Museum and the Humble Administrator's Garden next to it, echoes modern and traditional undertakings, and also blends the relationship between ancient Chinese landscape and water, people and nature.
The museum is integrated with modern art and traditional culture. The tour guide is rich in knowledge and has a comprehensive experience. The attitude is very good, very kind, and pays attention to interaction with tourists. In addition, the tour guide was patient. He was originally in a special traffic jam in the whole scenic spot during the holidays. We were more than half an hour late, but he was still waiting for us patiently in the hall. She has a good understanding of the history of the museum and the culture of the world. The explanation is rich. Not only did the exhibits themselves add many additional stories. Bring us a good experience. The main feature of the museum is its design sense, but there are also two national treasures that open our eyes to luxury. There are other expensive products are priceless treasures, the whole exhibition hall from the overall perspective, it seems to be biased to the Western style but look at it carefully, there are many allusions and literati dreams, such as the cold window octagonal pavilion or the palace folding gui. Or make a beautiful landscape of Lushan Waterfall, Lotus Pool and so on. As a closed-door work of famous international designers, you can imagine the importance of the entire pavilion. But remind friends who want to come to this Suzhou museum to see mainly his architecture and design, there are not many exhibits.
Next to the main hall is the Zhongwang Mansion. You can listen to the high-quality free explanation. It is not particularly big. The cultural relics are not bad.
Suzhou Museum and Humble Administrator's Garden have gathered a lot of designers' hard work and ingenuity. If you want to truly feel Suzhou culture and Chinese garden culture, it is important to find a suitable guide. Teacher Zhang Changlan, who served this time, likes 👍, and can fully feel it as a local Suzhou in the exchange. The love of Suzhou culture, the explanation process is rampant, the focus is clear, the communication process is friendly and friendly, people feel very good, feel worthwhile.
