Suzhou people have their own 3,000 Kongming lanterns for New Year's Eve

It’s winter vacation! The first stop is Suzhou! In winter, there are relatively not so many tourists. Recently, the wintersweets are in full bloom and can be seen everywhere in gardens and temples. It is a great pleasure to travel in the fragrance of flowers. 🚌🚌Transportation There is no airport in Suzhou. You can choose the nearby Shanghai Hongqiao, Pudong, and Wuxi Shuofang airports, and then take the high-speed rail to Suzhou. Suzhou Station is preferred as it is located in Gusu District and is convenient for sightseeing. 🏠Accommodation The best places to stay are near Guanqian Street and Shantang Street, which are close to tourist attractions and have plenty of food. 🥙Delicious Food Crab roe noodles, pan-fried prawns, Suzhou noodles, Suzhou sweet soup, etc. are highly recommended. There are many snack shops in Pingjiang Road, Shantang Street and other places, which is very convenient. New Year's Day Tour Route Xiyuan Temple, Yiyuan, Pingjiang Road, Jushilin, Shiquan Street, Canglang Pavilion, Confucian Temple, Jinji Lake, sunset view Scenic spot tour guide 🎈Xiyuan Temple: Make a New Year's wish when you enter the temple, let's get rich together in 2025, then eat vegetarian noodles, rub kittens, feed pigeons, and see the beautiful yellow wall wintersweets, which look like stars scattered in a yellow sea. Remember to get the New Year calendar and spring couplets when you leave, and bring good luck home 2🎈Yiyuan: Enjoy the last autumn colors and the earliest wintersweets in the garden, and meet a cute kitten~ Red maple Remember to go in the morning, it’s too late in the afternoon Pingjiang Road Buddhist Association: The traditional Chinese painting of wintersweets is full of Zen. The one in the front yard is already in full bloom. Go there between 10 and 11 am. The light and shadow are very beautiful. It is very good to take pictures through the window or doorway. 🎈Canglang Pavilion: 108 lattice windows are extremely delicate, and the 100-year-old beauty tea in the garden has been opened. It is located on the rockery, with cave doors and flower windows for overhead shooting 🎈Confucian Temple: Opposite Canglang Pavilion, there are few people and it is quiet, suitable for sunbathing and daydreaming. There are also 6 big white geese swimming around and quacking, which is so fun. 🎈Jinji Lake: Watch the orange sunset, and check in the popular Ferris wheel and flying sculpture 🎈Shopping and eating at Shiquan Street At noon, we went directly to Shiquan Street to find food. It is worthy of being China's Shiquan Street. The New Year atmosphere was captured directly. The big tree wore a colorful sweater, the pink little snake was very cute, and there were also bottle flower waterfalls, New Year gongs, and fortune chairs. I knocked the New Year gong many times. Good luck in 2025 will come soon, hahaha
