Things to do in Suzhou

Pavilions stand by the water, green trees surround the streets, and houses stretch endlessly. Without excessive hustle and bustle, it is a vivid scene of bustling city life unfolding from the scroll of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" right before our eyes, with the gentle smoke of cooking fires and the charm of ancient times.

It's very worthwhile, but it's also very crowded, which might slightly detract from the overall experience. However, the people are incredibly welcoming, and there are many beautiful spots for taking photos. The food is also affordable and inexpensive, which kids enjoy. I'll definitely go back when it's less crowded.

One ticket grants access to three days and several attractions. Entry is smooth with no queues; facial recognition is all that's needed. The staff are very friendly and patiently resolve any issues or difficulties. The NPCs (players who interact with the park) are very immersive, making your visit engaging and a very pleasant trip. The night view is even better!

Niushou Mountain in Nanjing, a top-tier architectural art museum built with an investment of 400 billion yuan, is like a celestial palace. Stepping into the underground palace, I was speechless with its breathtaking beauty. The three floors above ground and six floors below are resplendent with golden pagodas and Buddha statues. The Buddha Palace is a highlight throughout; every statue is wallpaper-worthy, making for stunning photos. The entire scenic area is enormous, and it's a must-see landmark in Nanjing for me. It's truly awe-inspiring.

Slender West Lake, located in Yangzhou, is an important part of the Grand Canal World Cultural Heritage site and a landmark lakeside garden in Yangzhou. Its long, winding shape resembles a slender beauty, hence its name. Willows line the banks, pavilions and towers are built along the water, and attractions such as the Five Pavilion Bridge, White Pagoda, Twenty-Four Bridges, and Xu Garden are arranged in succession, offering a picturesque view at every turn. It blends the delicate beauty of southern gardens with the grandeur of northern gardens, possessing both natural beauty and poetic charm. Countless poets throughout history have left behind verses praising it. Boating on the lake, with a gentle breeze caressing the shore and the pavilions reflected in the water, one perfectly captures the poetic imagery of "willows and flowers lining both banks, pavilions and towers stretching all the way to the mountains," making it an unmissable scenic spot in Yangzhou.

The environment is good and the children had a lot of fun.

Hongshan Zoo truly left a very good impression on me. The entire park was clean and tidy, and the layout was very reasonable, making for a smooth visit. You could feel the zoo's attention to detail in the animal habitats; every area was designed to feel natural, demonstrating their care for the animals. The educational signage was also very detailed, allowing me to learn a lot as I looked around. Overall, the experience was both relaxing and meaningful, perfect for a weekend stroll. I'll definitely come back next time I have the chance.

Buying discounted tickets online is great value, and the redemption process is smooth with no queues. The Guishan Han Tomb is truly magnificent; the carving techniques from 2,000 years ago are astonishing. Visiting the accompanying stone carving hall and imperial edict hall together allows you to see multiple exhibits in one trip – definitely worth it! I personally hired a guided tour for 160 yuan covering three stops, and it was fantastic. I highly recommend hiring a guide; it's absolutely worth seeing.

Immerse yourself in the history of ancient imperial tombs and learn about ancient engineering technology.
