This one is a must-save! Suzhou finally has its own drama festival!

I've always heard about a hidden gem in Suzhou, a place that boasts the shimmering beauty of the lake and exciting amusement rides, which makes me, someone who loves solo exploration, really eager to visit. Finally, on a perfectly sunny day, I packed my bag and set off alone on this long-awaited journey 🥰. 🌳 First steps into the park, encountering the magnificent lake view As I entered the park, the vast Yangcheng Lake instantly came into view 🌊. The lake sparkled under the sunlight, as if sprinkled with countless tiny pieces of gold, so beautiful that I couldn’t look away ✨. I strolled slowly along the lakeside path, the gentle breeze carrying the fresh scent of the water to my face. It felt like nature was softly caressing my cheeks, relaxing me completely 😌. While walking, I saw a boat rental spot by the lake and didn’t hesitate to rent one. Sitting in the small boat, I gently paddled, and it drifted smoothly on the lake. I looked closely at the clear water, seeing the sand and swimming fish beneath 🐟. Occasionally, a few water birds flew overhead, calling out crisply as if greeting me. I closed my eyes and quietly savored this peace and beauty, feeling as if I had become one with the lake and nature 🧘. 🎢 Thrilling challenges, releasing inner passion After enjoying the lake activities, I headed to the amusement area, ready to try some thrilling rides 👏. The first thing that caught my eye was the “Super Giant Pendulum.” Watching the huge pendulum swing wildly in the air made my heart race. But as someone who loves challenges, how could I miss it? I mustered my courage and got on. As the pendulum slowly started, my nerves grew. When it swung higher and faster, I felt like I was about to be thrown off, the alternating sensations of weightlessness and heaviness making my heart pound wildly 💗. I gripped the handles tightly and screamed loudly, wanting to release all my fear and tension. When the pendulum finally stopped, my legs felt weak, but the thrill and excitement left me wanting more 🥳. Next, I tried the roller coaster. Sitting in the coaster, as the train sped along the tracks, diving and twisting, I felt like a free bird flying through the air 🎢. Every acceleration and turn gave me an adrenaline rush. I laughed and shouted loudly, fully enjoying the excitement and joy. 🎠 Strolling through a fairy tale, rediscovering childhood fun After the intense rides, I decided to try some gentler attractions to relax. I came to the carousel, watching the colorful horses slowly spin to cheerful music, as if entering a dreamy fairy tale world 👑. I chose a white horse and rode it, feeling like I had returned to childhood, with pure joy and happiness flooding my heart. Then I went to play bumper cars. Sitting in a bumper car, I dashed around the arena like a kid, crashing into other cars with “bang bang” sounds. Everyone was laughing and screaming, filling the place with happiness 😄. Here, I forgot my age and immersed myself in this childlike fun. 🍱 Delicious food, savoring the park’s flavors After a whole day of fun, my stomach started growling. I went to the food area, which offered a variety of tasty snacks 🍔. I was first drawn by the aroma of grilled sausages, bought one and took a bite—the crispy skin and juicy inside were absolutely delicious 😋. Then I tried the local specialty—Yangcheng Lake hairy crab (though it’s not crab season, the crab yolk buns were also amazing), and the fresh flavors left me wanting more. 🌃 Sunset glow, full of cherished memories Before I knew it, the sun was setting, painting the whole park golden, as beautiful as a painting 🌅. I stood by the lake, watching the sun slowly dip below the horizon, feeling reluctant to leave. That day, I challenged thrilling rides, admired the beautiful lake scenery, tasted delicious snacks, and gathered a heart full of joy and memories. This solo trip to Suzhou made me experience the joy and freedom of exploring alone. I believe this will be an unforgettable chapter in my life 💕. If you also love solo travel, challenges, and adventure, why not visit Yangcheng Peninsula Park in Suzhou? I’m sure you’ll fall in love with it too 🥰.
