Tour through Pan Gate and see Gusu

【Introduction】: Wu Zixu, the creator of Suzhou City 2,500 years ago, built Helu Great City. Since then, Pan Gate has become one of the eight gates of the ancient city of Suzhou, and has become a permanent witness to the rise of Suzhou City and the hegemony of the State of Wu. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Pan Gate area was the most prosperous commercial district in Suzhou, with tens of thousands of shops of various types. The Pan Gate and gate tower you see now were rebuilt in 2006 based on the design of the Ming and Qing dynasties. It is a cloudy day today, and Pan Gate under the lights at night is even more beautiful. ⛺【Things to know】: There are many cultural and historical sites, garden elegance, and urban fireworks near Pan Gate where you can experience the diverse charm of the ancient city of Gusu. Such as the Su-style meals in Xizhongshi, and the nearby Yipu Garden, Taibo Temple, North Wharf (Figure 11), Shantang Street, etc. 🛬【Itinerary】: Pan Gate City Wall (Figures 1-7), you can see the Big Pants and North Temple Pagoda from a high-altitude view (Figures 8-10). The tour time is within half an hour. 🧡【Tips】: It is recommended that backpackers departing from Pingjiang New City ride a small green bike (public bicycle) from Shanhuaqiao South Bus Station to the Panmen East Public Bicycle Parking Point, which takes about 20 minutes and is free. You can scan the code on the "Yonganxing" WeChat app to ride.
