Suzhou Early Winter City Walk: Zhang Garden

🍊 If you're planning a city walk in Suzhou, you must visit here. This is a beautiful place that combines gardens, cultural and creative activities, bookstores, cat cafes, stamp collecting, and afternoon tea. Since it's early winter, the courtyard of the old house is already filled with maple and ginkgo leaves. The pine cones 🐾 and ginkgo leaves 🍁 in the wicker basket are the autumn treasures collected by visitors. Although it's an old house, every corner reveals fresh design elements. Even the original security booth has been transformed into a cultural and creative shop. The stamps are also unique, so you can bring a notebook or book to create a special souvenir. 🍁 Stepping into this old western-style house feels like traveling through time. The unique design of the western-style house and Suzhou-style architecture, with balconies, stairs, corridors, doors, and windows, makes it a place where you can spend an entire day. The small building has three floors. The main building is the Guwuxuan Bookstore, offering elegant seating for quiet reading. The bookstore's layout combines books and cultural and creative products. The two floors also feature more intangible cultural heritage crafts, providing a visual feast. Not far away on Jin Fan Road and Wu Sha Road, there are many coffee shops and small novelty shops, perfect for a leisurely afternoon stroll.
