Follow Qianlong to the south of the Yangtze River and experience a different royal garden art

Must sleep reasons 1 Suzhou Xingguan is the former residence of the Embroidery Queen Shen Shou, with only 8 rooms, 2 but it includes the essence, skill, elegance, and wonder of Jiangnan gardens. 3 Local culture offers courses, gathering some mentors in the fields of Chinese studies, art, music, etiquette, traditional crafts, etc. 4 Designed by famous designer Mr. Liang Jianguo, it has won many awards. This is the former residence of the Embroidery Queen Shen Shou, and also the palace of Qianlong's six trips to the south of the Yangtze River. It is said that Emperor Qianlong would work in the Hongyin Mountain House and sleep in the Xingguan. Suzhou Xingguan uses the style of repairing the old as the old to maintain and repair, the entire garden is not large, but it is small and exquisite, with pavilions, towers, buildings, water pavilions, and everything. Guest room There are only 8 rooms here, except for 2 basic standard rooms, the remaining six rooms are themed rooms built according to 'Qin, Chess, Calligraphy, Painting, Chess, Tea'. I stayed in the 'Chess' room type and standard room, now in the plum rain season, I recommend staying in the standard room, although the area is small, but the room is dry and comfortable. Restaurant The breakfast here is custom-made, a nine-square grid snack with a main meal and drink, and the meal is rich. The restaurant is open to the public and needs to be booked in advance. The meals are quite exquisite, and the dining seats can see the entire garden, slow down and enjoy a genuine Su banquet. Surroundings Qingpu Suzhou's Xingguan is located in Mudu Ancient Town. Take a taxi to Wangjiaqiao Road and walk about 200 meters to reach it. The housekeeper will contact you in advance for pick-up~ The ancient town itself can be visited, and it is very convenient to eat and play. Within 1 to 4 kilometers, there are Lingyan Mountain and Tianping Mountain scenic spots, and you can drive directly to Taihu Lake in 10 minutes, which is convenient for transportation. Experience Qingpu has created a new way of vacationing. You won't be bored in the hotel, and you can quickly understand the culture of a city. It gathers some mentors in the fields of Chinese studies, art, music, etiquette, traditional crafts, etc. The task of the mentor is to lead the completion of the vacation or to become a course in the process of vacationing combined with local culture, just like this time, I experienced nuclear carving.

Suzhou’s Qingpu Retreat, located inside a former celebrity residence, has a total of 8 rooms. The remaining space consists of common areas. The retreat is surrounded by the Landscape Pavilion, rendering it peaceful and serene. In the hotel’s restaurant, you can try local dishes from south of the Yangtze river, listen to Kunqu opera, and change into traditional Han Chinese dress provided by the hotel before taking pretty pictures.
