As a brilliant and unique flower of Jiangnan culture, Suzhou Pingtan is well-known at home and abroad for its unique artistic charm and profound cultural heritage. The performance of Suzhou Pingtan is usually completed by two artists, one of whom plays the sanxian and is responsible for the accompaniment; the other holds the pipa, plays and sings, and intersperses with narration, telling touching stories one after another. These stories are often taken from ancient legends, folk tales and historical allusions. Through the vivid interpretation of the artists, the audience is brought into a world full of emotions and wisdom. The singing of Pingtan is beautiful and melodious, with melodious and graceful melodies. It has the softness and delicacy of the Jiangnan water town, and does not lose its unique artistic charm. The lyrics of Pingtan contain rich historical knowledge and life philosophy, allowing the audience to be influenced and enlightened by culture while being entertained.

【Suzhou W】Marvelous Suite

【Suzhou W】Marvelous Suite

The Marvelous Suite at Suzhou W Hotel faces Jinji Lake, the opposite Niccolo Hotel, and the Ferris wheel under construction, offering a great view. Suzhou W is the only W hotel in China that I haven't checked in yet, mainly due to the inconvenience caused by the lack of an airport in Suzhou. I left home at 7 AM and arrived in Suzhou at 2 PM. During the weekend at the end of the summer vacation, there were too many guests, and people were queuing for breakfast in the elevator lobby. I paid the difference to upgrade to the Marvelous Suite. Due to the excellent view and large room area, other aspects seemed not to be an issue. The green TV wall and moon lamp are standard features of W, and the green acrylic is well-treated without a cheap feel. However, many lacquered items are heavily worn, with many scratches and bumps. Three suite selection strategies: 12 Cool Corner Suite/Studio Suite: A corner suite with a missing corner, the living room faces the city view, and the bedroom faces Jinji Lake, but there are missing corners and obstructions. Both have the same layout; below the 24th floor is the Cool Corner Suite, and above the 25th floor is the Studio Suite. 07 Fantastic Suite: A corner suite, the living room faces the Gate of Suzhou, and you can see the fountain; the bedroom faces Jinji Lake, which is a very good suite. Non-weekend members have a better chance of being upgraded to this room type. 10 Marvelous Suite: Only 5 rooms, on the top five floors, equivalent to two lake-view rooms combined, but the area is a few square meters smaller than the Fantastic Suite. Since it is not a corner suite, both the living room and bedroom face Jinji Lake directly, making it the best view room type. The entrance has a round dining table, and the walk-in closet/bathroom layout is also very good. Only suite vouchers can upgrade to this room type. W does not have an executive lounge, but members can enjoy happy hour in a designated area of the lobby bar, with drinks and some snacks. The Chinese restaurant Su Yan on the 34th floor is also very good, with both a great view and excellent dishes. Overall, I think W is more comfortable to stay in than Niccolo, with less crowded public areas, a more suitable height for lake views, and complete facilities. However, the need to queue for breakfast due to the large number of rooms is a downside.

Chinese Aesthetics·Suzhou Gardens

Location: Suzhou's Humble Administrator's Garden Every step reveals a scene so exquisitely beautiful that it defies description. One cannot help but marvel at the sophisticated aesthetic of the ancients. A gentle breeze wafts through the garden, and the crabapple blossoms sway like little pink bells in the wind. Paired with the garden's framed views, they fill the scene with the colors of spring in the Jiangnan region. Warm spring sunlight is refracted by the lake's surface, Casting shimmering golden reflections on the ancient walls of the garden. In an instant, Suzhou transforms into the poetic and picturesque city of Gusu as depicted in paintings. This is what Li Qingzhao wrote about in her poetry: "I ask the person rolling up the screen, but he says the crabapple remains the same. Do you know, do you know? It should be that the green is plump and the red slender." Pro tip: Be sure to choose a sunny day, the feeling is completely different!

Shantang Street in Suzhou, Jiangnan~

Shantang Street in Suzhou, Jiangnan~

Suzhou's Shantang Street may not be as famous as the Guanqian Street in Suzhou, but it has become very well-known in recent years. It is easily accessible by subway line 2, which takes you directly there. The attractions do not require an entrance fee, and you can pay to take a boat ride if you wish. The area is adorned with lanterns, creating a strong festive atmosphere. The street is lined with various shops offering snacks and trinkets of all kinds. You can eat, walk, and queue at the same time, haha. There are candied haws, grilled skewers, various Suzhou-style pastries, and more, which are a feast for the eyes. The beauty of Shantang Street is like the gentleness of a Jiangnan lady, quiet and peaceful. Sitting by the bridge with a pot of tea🍵 and some pastries is truly leisurely. Here, you can experience the slow life of the city, slow down your pace, and listen to the sounds of Suzhou's storytelling and ballad singing . 'There is heaven above, and Suzhou and Hangzhou below,' and it's absolutely true!

5h | Encounter the "Red Ribbon on the Sea". Planned to appreciate autumn in Tianping Mountain in Suzhou on the weekend, but was scared off by the crowd's photos, and ended up going to Yangcheng Lake, surprisingly found a red floating bridge nearby, the aerial view is like a red ribbon floating on the water, very artistic. ❤️Located on the south side of Yangcheng Lake, "Dongsha Lake" is the largest park in the Suzhou Industrial Park. There are many peninsulas along the lake. The most conspicuous is a red floating bridge with an S-bend on the east side. Walking on it doesn't feel much, but the aerial view is really amazing, especially when the weather is good, the lake water looks blue to the naked eye, like a red ribbon floating on the "sea". 🤎This park is more like a community park for nearby residents to walk and stroll. There are not many people on weekends, but the scenery is not inferior to other large scenic spots. It also has the beauty of autumn, the lakeside has a large area of Taxodium distichum, plane trees and Miscanthus, as well as the changing color of Acer triflorum, the transition of red, yellow and green is like an oil painting. 🌟Dongsha Lake Ecological Park 📍Wuzhong District, Suzhou City 🅿️6 yuan/hour, free within half an hour 💡Red floating bridge location You can see it when you enter from the northeast gate and turn right Self-driving 🚗 can only park at the southwest gate, then walk along the east side
