Are you worried about where to take your kids for a walk every weekend? This time we chose the newly developed East Taihu Ecological Tourism Area in Suzhou. 🗓Itinerary: 1. Depart on Saturday morning and have lunch at the hotel at noon. We booked a package at the Crowne Plaza East Taihu Lake, which included accommodation and a lunch for three figures, and it was a good value for money. 2. After lunch, go to Wangong Dike, which is a great place to take your children to play. Kayaking and forest trains are must-try: The forest train goes around the scenic area, so it is recommended to experience the train first. Then take a walk to the kayak pier. The banks of the river are lined with autumn Metasequoia trees. Kayaking through them makes one sigh that the autumn scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is so charming! 3. In the evening, we went to Yuehu Terrace. We went to the pier next to Yuehu Terrace. The views were almost the same everywhere along the long embankment. There are no crowds when watching the sunset here, so you can enjoy the romance quietly. 4. After watching the sunset, return to the hotel to eat and rest. Then before 8 o'clock, we went to Yuehu Terrace to see the musical fountain, which was quite spectacular. There are also restaurants near Yuehu Terrace. 5. Sleep in and have breakfast the next day. Then I took a walk around the nearby East Taihu Ecological Zone, enjoyed the breeze by the lake, got rid of my annoyance, and relaxed. It was very comfortable. 🏨Hotel environment: The Crowne Plaza East Taihu where we stayed this time is newly opened, so the guest rooms are excellent, very new and well designed. There is a special entrance compartment for luggage and coats. The room is large, spacious and bright. The public area is also very beautiful, and there are self-service drinks and snacks at the elevator entrance, which is thoughtful. The breakfast is quite rich for a hotel in this price range. The only downside is that the room has a slight smell, after all, it is newly opened. However, the waiter immediately gave us an air purifier after we entered the room. Thumbs up for the service!
