In Suzhou, my favorite Jiangnan ancient town so far appeared!

Traveling in Suzhou, you will always be fascinated by the tenderness of the ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River~ I have traveled to Suzhou many times and visited many ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River, but I was still amazed by Zhouzhuang Ancient Town! The graceful streets, the scattered small bridges, the black-sailed boats, the rippling spring water, the tranquility and gentleness, the phrase "Jiangnan is beautiful" is far from enough to describe it. · 📸Just came back from a trip to Zhouzhuang Ancient Town. Here is a guide for those who are traveling to Suzhou during the May Day holiday. · 📍Zhouzhuang Ancient Town ⏰Business hours: 8:00-20:00 💰Tickets: 100/r ‼ ️Free ticket strategy: Free on weekdays before 8:00 in the morning and after 17:00 in the afternoon. It is recommended to rush during these two times~ · ✔️Travel route: Ticket gate of the ancient archway at the north gate➠Shuangqiao➠Zhangting➠Chenting➠Longxing Bridge➠Nanhu Qiuyue Garden➠Quanfu Lecture Temple➠Shuixiang Cruise Ship Landing Pier➠Hongfu Bridge➠Zhouzhuang Museum➠Ancient Town Screen Wall · 📸Tips for visiting Zhouzhuang Ancient Town: 1. Enter from the north gate and walk clockwise or counterclockwise. Zhouzhuang is not big and it takes about 2 hours to walk around. 2. The essence of Zhouzhuang Ancient Town is along the Shuangqiao River, a typical Jiangnan area with small bridges and flowing water, and a concentration of delicious food. 3. The best place to take photos in Zhouzhuang Ancient Town is 📍Ancient Town Water Lane Tour (the bridge behind Xinzhenyuan) ➠ Sanmao Teahouse Road, there are few people and many bridges~ 4. Zhouzhuang is very quiet at 7 o'clock in the morning, and it is best to take photos of the sky~ 5. Zhouzhuang Ancient Town lights up at 18:30, and the blues are absolutely beautiful~ · ✔️Zhouzhuang Ancient Town Cruise Guide: The rowing boat can accommodate 6 people in one boat, and the ticket price is 200 yuan. You can share the boat. · ✔️Zhouzhuang Ancient Town Food: ▫️The specialty food is Wansan pig's trotters. It is relatively cheaper outside the scenic area, 25/piece, with a sweet sauce flavor and tastes good~ ▫️Other delicacies include Aozao noodles, sock bottom pastry, cakes, etc. ▫️You can order takeout after 17:00 in Zhouzhuang Ancient Town~ · ✔️Zhouzhuang Ancient Town Accommodation Guide It is recommended to stay one night in Zhouzhuang Ancient Town to avoid tourists and enjoy the quiet ancient town with few people in the early morning and evening. · 🌸This time I came to Zhouzhuang and stayed in the ancient town. I chose 📍Zhouzhuang Shuxiang Mansion. The hotel is close to the north gate and next to the Zhouzhuang Museum. The location is great~ · The environment of Shuxiang Mansion is antique. When you open the door, it is like walking into the Suzhou Garden, with pavilions, towers, bridges and flowing water. It is the first private garden in Zhouzhuang Ancient Town. The room is comfortable and tidy, with floor-to-ceiling windows facing the courtyard, and there is also a bathtub in the room. · The hotel also has a bookstore and a cafe, where you can get stamps and cultural and creative products from Zhouzhuang Ancient Town. It's fun to visit and take photos. The hotel also provides free Hanfu experience and photo shoots~
