"Wuzhong customs, especially the Lantern Festival", Suzhou Lantern Festival has a long history, from ancient times to the present. As a typical representative of Suzhou Lantern Festival, the Guxumen Lantern Festival has been included in the Jiangsu Province Intangible Cultural Heritage Protection List since 2009, and has been successfully held for 23 sessions so far. This year, in conjunction with the 2025 "Intangible Cultural Heritage Celebrates the New Year - Ancient City Celebrates the New Year" National Main Venue Event and Suzhou City's extraordinary "Su" New Year Event, Canglang Street launched the "24th Guxumen Lantern Festival" series of activities. Several large-scale lantern groups made by national representative inheritor Wang Xiaowen and his team were lit up at 18:00 on the evening of January 23. Among them, the main lantern group with the theme of the Year of the Snake, "Auspicious Snake Good Year", is 15 meters wide and 3 meters high, installed on the site of the Guxumen Wengcheng; a group of lantern corridors, "Good Luck Corridor", is about 18 meters long and installed in front of the square near the cruise ship dock; there is also a small lantern group, 3 meters long and 4 meters wide, "Mooring Boat Lantern Shadow", which is placed on the south side of the square.

When I arrived in Suzhou, the Humble Administrator&#39;s Garden was still going to go. Under the stimulation of various landscapes in today&#39;s society, the Humble Administrator&#39;s Garden was far less than the last century. The garden landscape is more so, but sinking the heart, to slowly feel and experience, you will find that its thick taste is very worth aftertaste.

Hanshan Temple

I went there last summer, it was very interesting, the small temple, there were more calligraphy and painting and carving works. Although there were more people during the summer vacation, it was very noisy, but it felt very calm when I walked around. In addition, the fast food is delicious and not expensive. It is recommended to try it!

The scenic spot is beautiful, and every corner exudes natural charm. I love its tranquil atmosphere and magnificent scenery. &quot;The scenery of the scenic spot is amazing, whether it is mountains, lakes or waterfalls, it is intoxicating. &quot;&quot;This is a very historic scenic spot, which takes me through time and space, and feels the charm of ancient civilization. &quot;

Now Zhouzhuang&#39;s price-performance ratio is much higher than that. A 100 yuan ticket can enter a year. The scenery of the ancient town is beautiful and the night view is more beautiful. Travel photography is casual to find a home.

Tiger Hill(Huqiu) Scenic Area

Mountain climbing

洛翳遥

The Secret Place of Jiangnan in the Millennium Ancient Rhyme
 
 Climbing up Tiger Hill is like entering a living three-dimensional picture album. The Yunyan Temple Pagoda is looming in the morning mist, and its tilted but unfalling posture is awe-inspiring. Walking slowly up the blue bricks, the sound of the wind in the thousand-year-old Tiger Hill Sword Pond seems to be telling the legend of Helu&#39;s buried sword. The wisteria corridor beside the pavilion halfway up the mountain cascades down like a waterfall in late spring, cutting time and space into mottled light and shadow.
 
 The Taihu stone rockery in Yongcui Villa is absolutely exquisite, with mysteries hidden in the changing scenery. Thousands of tall bamboos in front of Lengxiang Pavilion sway in the breeze on a summer afternoon, and hidden among the mottled shadows of the bamboos are the vigorous branches of the wisteria planted by Wen Zhengming. The most wonderful thing is to tour the Sword Pond at night. Under the reflection of the water and the moon, the shadow of the tower is reflected obliquely in the pond, and in a trance you can&#39;t even tell the present from the past.
 
 This place is not as ostentatious as the Humble Administrator&#39;s Garden. Instead, it is like a gentle Jiangnan woman, hiding a thousand years of elegance in a secluded path. As dusk falls on the eaves of the Yunyan Tower, the wind chimes on the eaves and corners ring softly, as if history is whispering in your ears. This living museum offers surprises at every turn.
