With a single phrase of 'spring is not late', I find myself truly in the Jiangnan region

As the lanterns light up, pleasure boats shuttle back and forth, and the streets are bustling with people. You must visit Shantang Street in Suzhou at night~ When the lights are fully lit, I feel as if I have arrived in the true Jiangnan. 'When you come to Gusu, you will see houses all along the river.' This is the place of wealth and romance depicted by Cao Xueqin in his writings. Shantang Street: It's really crowded, but the sunset and the night view are truly beautiful! Taking a ride on a black-awning boat is so romantic~ Pingjiang Road: There are so many delicious things! It takes more than half an hour to walk down one street, all spent eating and drinking (there's also Guanqian Street, similar but different). Hanshan Temple: So pretty and beautiful~ It doesn't lose out to the neighboring Lingyin Temple (remember to buy incense at the entrance in advance, it's more cost-effective!) The pond full of koi is absolutely stunning. In the morning, you can have a famous bowl of vegetarian noodles nearby. Zhuozheng Garden: It can be toured in just a few minutes (not really) and it's not as stunning as imagined, but it's still nice for taking photos. Suzhou Museum: Along with Zhuozheng Garden and Lion Grove, it can be covered in half a day. You need to book the museum one week in advance! (The picture is of the main hall, the West Hall can be booked one day in advance). But the museum is really, really, really beautiful and great for photography! The area selling souvenirs is also worth a long visit! Lots of desirable items~ Hotel: We chose the Indigo, with a standard room averaging 400 per person, offering a perfect view of the city skyline! Absolutely! Hot Springs: If you have enough time, you can drive to Wangyan Hot Springs, said to be the largest outdoor hot spring in the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai area. It's really fun! And there's a pool full of little yellow ducks! So fun you won't want to leave! Food: 1. Crab Delicacies: Reserve two and a half hours to enjoy (you can queue up first and then have enough time to visit Pingjiang Road and Zhuozheng Garden). 2. Tea-colored Misty Rain: All three stores are on Pingjiang Road, but they are always crowded. The photos look good, but the trash cans are full of unfinished milk tea, you know what I mean! 3. Overlord Tea Princess is quite popular, and it's really good. Tea Yan Yue Se is also nice. 5. Liugongge's puzzle dishes, called Xinmeihua, are frequented by locals and are delicious! That's all for today, see you next time~
