Take Your Parents to Suzhou for Lunar New Year: This Off-the-Beaten-Path Route is Amazing!

After a busy year, the Lunar New Year is finally here, and you have time to spend with your parents on a warm and cozy trip. For those in the Jiangsu-Zhejiang-Shanghai area, Suzhou is the perfect destination for a Lunar New Year trip. After several days of research, I have planned an off-the-beaten-path route with beautiful scenery, few people, and a strong New Year atmosphere. If you don't want to be crowded by people during the Lunar New Year, follow me, and I guarantee you and your family will have a great travel experience. Suzhou 2-Day Tour Route Day 1 Linwu Cave, Xishan Scenic Area → Dongcun Ancient Village → Wind Chime Valley, Jinduoling → Xiangxuehai, Guangfu Town Day 2 Wangong Dike → East Taihu Lake Ecological Park → Suzhou Bay Digital Art Museum → Zhenze Ancient Town Travel Guide Xishan Scenic Area: With a 100-mile lakeshore, you can play with the lovely seagulls by Taihu Lake during the Lunar New Year. Driving along the lake is a great way to relax. Linwu Cave is known as the "Ninth Cave in the World." The temperature in the cave is pleasant all year round, and the light and shadow make you feel like you are in a dream world. Jinduoling Wild Hidden·Songhuang Coffee, halfway up the mountain, is a great place to rest. You can enjoy a cup of coffee while taking in the beautiful scenery of Taihu Lake. Xiangxuehai: The 1,000-acre plum garden is home to tens of thousands of plum trees. The Taihu Lake Plum Blossom Festival runs from now until March 16. Although the plum blossoms are not yet in full bloom, you will soon be able to enjoy the romance of early spring. After viewing the plum blossoms, I recommend staying at the Taimei·Xuelv Homestay, where you can enjoy the magnificent view of Taihu Lake from your room. East Taihu Lake Tourist Resort: The Suzhou Bay Cultural Center is built in a unique Mobius ring structure, which is visually stunning. If you have the chance, be sure to enjoy a romantic sunset at the Lake Viewing Platform and feel the gentleness of nature. Wangong Dike is across the water from Suzhou Bay Bridge. Take the forest train through the metasequoia forest, and you will feel like you are in a fairy tale world. Zhenze Ancient Town: There are many ancient towns in Jiangnan, but Zhenze Ancient Town, with a history of over 2,000 years, still retains its original simplicity. At Shijiantang, you can feel the wealth and elegance of the ancient Jiangnan merchants. Ciyun Temple is a testament to the ancient architecture. On Baota Street, you must try the local traditional four-bowl tea to experience the authentic Jiangnan lifestyle. This Lunar New Year, take your parents on this route and start a warm and unforgettable trip in Suzhou!
