Travel Guide for Shang Lake in Changshu.

🌟Scenic Area Level: AAAAA 💰Ticket: 80 yuan ❤Recommended Index: 7.5 points 👨🏻Popularity Index: 4 points 🕙Play Time: 2-3 hours · Jiangsu has the most 5A scenic spots in China. Among the many 5A scenic spots, Shang Lake in Changshu is not so outstanding. Changshu is less than 50km away from Suzhou. Under the halo of Suzhou, Changshu is a rare tourist destination with few tourists. If you feel that there are too many people going everywhere during the National Day holiday, then why not come to Changshu for a reverse tourism? · ❤Must-see attractions: ✅Water Forest: There is a large area of metasequoia trees in the lake. When I came to Shang Lake, it was just the end of summer, so the metasequoia trees were green. If the autumn colors are strong in November, then the metasequoia trees will turn golden yellow, which will be the most beautiful time. Instead of going to Tianshan Mountain in Suzhou and being crowded, it is better to come here to see the water forest. Qingxi Country Park in Shanghai also has a water forest, but it is much smaller than the water forest here. ✅Lotus: Shang Lake Scenic Area is full of lotus flowers. In summer, the lotus flowers are in full bloom, which is very beautiful. When I went there, many lotus flowers had withered, and the remaining lotus pods were also very artistic. ✅Fushui Villa: It is a typical Suzhou-style garden and a masterpiece of private garden architecture in Jiangnan. It was the residence of Qian Qianyi, a scholar in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and Liu Rushi, a talented woman. ✅Bamboo Raft: Bamboo raft requires an additional ticket. It is manned and can go deep into the water forest. It is recommended to take a bamboo raft. 🚉Transportation Guide: - Bus: Take Changshu 116/Changshu 117/Changshu 217/Changshu Tour 3 to Shang Lake Scenic Area. - Self-driving: Navigate to Shang Lake Scenic Area.
