Many times I had the desire to check inside this iconic Fangta tower but never had the chance. Finally, I made it. visiting Fangta Tower and taking beautiful pictures there would be an incredible experience. From the tower's intricate designs to the lush landscapes surrounding it, there are endless opportunities for stunning photography. The tower's rich history and cultural significance only add to the beauty of the experience, making it a must-visit destination for anyone who appreciates ancient architecture and natural beauty. It is big inside so, don't be fool by its outside look. By the way, there is a noodle shop outside the main entrance (right side). See the last picture. If you would like to try local noodles, this is the best in the city so far I found. There are many choices. Try `Dry Fish Noodles` (Baoyu Mian) which is served with handmade noodles with soup and dry fish. You can add egg fry and some toppings (ginger and coriander) Thank me later 😋😂 #fangtatower #changshu #suzhou #touristsattraction

Located in the core area of Changjiang Road, Hilton Changshu is a 246-meter skyscraper that has redefined the skyline of Changshu. I stayed in an executive river view room and had an immersive vacation experience in Jiangnan. >>> Aesthetic Stay <<< The panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows offer a view of Yushan Mountain and the Yangtze River. On sunny days, you can see boats sailing on the river, and on rainy days, you can see clouds and mist surrounding the city. The new Chinese-style guest room incorporates Suzhou embroidery elements into modern design. The combination of smart curtains and a capsule coffee machine shows the attention to detail of a luxury hotel. I especially liked the double-sided mirror design in the bathroom, which means I no longer have to worry about backlighting when putting on makeup. >>> A Feast for the Taste Buds <<< The executive lounge on the 48th floor is a hidden gem. The "Yushan Shanghu" cocktail served during the evening cocktail hour is a delight for the taste buds. The all-day dining restaurant offers a wide variety of dishes, and the eel noodles with freshly fried toppings are a must-try. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the lobby bar offers an afternoon tea themed on "Six Records of a Floating Life," with lotus pastries and Kunqu opera elements that showcase the elegance of Jiangnan. >>> Fitness Secret <<< The sky heated pool is a unique experience, with a 25-meter mirror lane that reflects the clouds and sky, making you feel like you're flying through the sky. The smart lockers in the changing room use facial recognition, and the spa center's unique "Yushan Tea Aroma SPA" uses Biluochun essential oil to awaken your skin's vitality. >>> Surrounding Exploration <<< The hotel's exclusive shuttle bus takes you to Shajiabang Scenic Area in 15 minutes, and the concierge will give you a "Yushan Cultural Hand-drawn Map" on your way back. The rooftop helipad is worth mentioning, as business guests can fly directly to Shanghai Hongqiao, making it a truly efficient "air corridor." Tips: • There is a Pingtan performance in the lobby on weekends, so it's best to reserve a seat in advance. • Executive rooms offer free laundry (3 pieces/day). • The underground garage is equipped with Tesla charging piles. When the charm of Suzhou meets cloud technology, this new landmark in the Yangtze River Delta perfectly balances business and leisure. Whether you're a foodie who wants to enjoy Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs by the window or a business traveler who wants to travel efficiently, you'll find your own Jiangnan story here.

New Year's Day Day Trips Around Shanghai I did some research and found that Jiangsu is the best choice. Highways are free during the New Year holiday. Highways around Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai are not congested and are very empty. Many attractions in Jiangsu offer 50% off tickets (50% off for adults, 50% off for seniors). My mom has been wanting to go to Shajiabang. The original ticket price was CNY 70, I paid CNY 35, and my mom paid CNY 35 for a senior ticket. There are many large parking lots at the entrance of Shajiabang. CNY 5 per car for 5 hours. The tour of Shajiabang takes about 4 hours. Then we drove to Fangta. This attraction is actually very close to Yushan. But we left late, so we didn't have time to go. We just had a meal at the nearby Impression City. Parking at the entrance of Fangta is CNY 7 per car for 5 hours. Fangta is also nice and quite large. We took a stroll around Impression City and had a meal. Parking at Impression City is CNY 3 per hour. After dinner, it was already past 6 pm, so we drove back to Shanghai. Everything was perfect, hehe 😁😁😁

Yan Zi's Tomb: Yan Zi (506–443 BC), whose given name was Yan and courtesy name was Ziyou, was a native of the State of Wu in the late Spring and Autumn Period. He was one of the 72 disciples of Confucius and the only one from the south. When Yan Zi was the county magistrate of the State of Lu, he was known for his governance through music.

Suzhou's 61st Garden: Dushu Terrace Dushu Terrace was the place where Prince Zhaoming of the Southern Liang Dynasty read. The pavilion on the terrace was abandoned for a long time. During the Hongzhi period of the Ming Dynasty, the county magistrate rebuilt it, but it collapsed soon after. The succeeding county magistrate believed that the terrace should not be without a pavilion, so he rebuilt it again, but it was destroyed again. In the 12th year of the Jiajing period (1533), County Magistrate Shen was about to leave office. He climbed the terrace and heard about the rise and fall of the pavilion, so he used his salary to build a new stone pavilion, set up a stone staircase, and asked someone to write an inscription for Dushu Terrace. The garden also has other historical sites, such as Jiaowei Pavilion, Jiaowei Spring, Wugong Temple, and Yaji Pavilion.
