Perfect for May Day | Zhinze One-Day Green Tour Guide, discovered another treasure spot in Suzhou

| Zhinze One-Day Green Tour Guide, discovered another treasure spot in Suzhou. As a Suzhou local, I hardly dare to go out on weekends and holidays now, because there are so many tourists, it's incredibly crowded. But I can't help wanting to go out, so I chose to visit the towns below Suzhou, to enjoy some pastoral time. The first stop was Zhinze (the Home of Chinese Silk), which I had never visited before, and it didn't disappoint, what a pleasant surprise!! One-Day Tour Itinerary: Qixin Village Lobster Fishing🦞 -- Jiujiu Station☕️ -- Pet Paradise🐷🐰🐑 Address: Navigate to Zhinze Qixin Village Rice and Shrimp Co-culture Base This place is very leisurely, with a great environment, especially suitable for family trips and team building. Holding a rod with meat tied to it, carrying a bucket, walking by the lake, it felt like returning to childhood, often sneaking out to fish for lobsters during summer vacations~ so happy~~ The caught lobsters🦞 can be taken away for free up to half a pound (for any additional, you need to pay), or you can choose to barbecue them. Other Information: 🎫Cost: Fishing 38 yuan/rod, wild meal set 380 yuan, barbecue set 500 yuan ⏰Business Hours: 9:00-17:00 🚗There is a parking lot nearby, it is recommended to drive here (all parking lots in Zhinze are free, haha, you can save a lot of money) After leaving the lobster fishing base🦞, you can walk to Jiujiu Station☕️, it's a 2-3 minute walk, there is a small path next to the parking lot. Jiujiu Station is a coffee shop, two stories high, very artistic, surrounded by a lake, shaded by green trees, with several large trees at the main entrance, and tables and chairs placed under the trees, perfect for ordering a cup of coffee in the afternoon (prices are reasonable, mostly between 20-30 yuan), chatting and daydreaming with a few friends, nothing could be better for a pleasant life. 📷Photo Spots: 1) Outdoor: Under the big trees, casual snapshots, the most natural state is the most beautiful scenery. 2) Indoor: Holding a coffee☕️ sitting in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, looking outside, just take a photo of the silhouette 3) Indoor: On the first or second floor, choose a lower seat, order a coffee, hold a book, pretend to read, use some green plants🪴 as a foreground to block, and a beautiful scene will naturally emerge. After the coffee, you can visit the nearby Pet Paradise, walk along the winding wooden walkway, blowing in the breeze, it's really comfortable. In addition to rabbits🐰, alpacas🐑, and pigs🐷, Pet Paradise is also particularly suitable for taking photos. 📷Photo Spots: 1) Candid shots mainly: Feeding small animals with vegetables; in the park, casually walking on the cobblestone paths to enjoy the scenery, very European 2) Hidden inside is a Hobbit house from 'The Lord of the Rings', you can make some cute poses in front of the house (standing, squatting are fine), or sit on the roof of the house (when taking photos, avoid having a tree directly above your head, haha) 💰Cost: Admission is free🆓, feeding vegetables🥕 large portion 20 yuan (bucket, to be returned), small portion 10 yuan (paper cup, not to be returned) If you don't want to come to Suzhou for May Day, don't want to be in a crowd, Zhinze is definitely one of the best choices!
