Suzhou Trip - Suzhou Bay Museum
1
Suzhou Bay Museum.
This was an unexpected surprise brought by staying at the Hengli Grand Hotel in Suzhou Bay.
The original plan was to stroll around the city.
While overlooking Taihu Lake, I saw the Suzhou Bay Grand Theater. After a quick search, I found out that the Suzhou Bay Museum and the Grand Theater are next to each other, right opposite the Hengli Grand Hotel.

Suzhou Bay Museum. A local comprehensive museum reflecting the historical culture and socio-economic development of Wujiang. It is integrated with the Suzhou Bay Grand Theater through two curved buildings.
Designed by Pritzker Prize winner, the famous French designer Christian de Portzamparc. He believes that the harmony between heaven and man is the essence of Chinese philosophy and poetry.
The two curves are like two 'ribbons', resembling the water sleeves in Kunqu opera, existing in the landscape of the entire city in the form of curves and counter-curves, linking the city, lake, sky, and people, embodying the beauty of the thousand-year-old water sleeves and the implicit poetry of Suzhou gardens.

The entire museum has an exhibition area of 5,700 square meters.
It houses more than 20,000 cultural relics.
The first floor is used for domestic and international fine exhibitions.
The fourth floor has a permanent exhibition 'Wu Yun Jiangnan - Wujiang Historical and Cultural Display.'
We saw 'Boats and Silk,' which tells the story of the Silk Road and the Grand Canal. It is divided into four units: 'Ancient Path,' 'Trade,' 'Integration,' and 'Accessibility.'
Especially when we saw the display of the 'Pyramid' brand silk thread that participated in the first World Silk Expo, we were stunned. The handmade works of ancient Chinese people are beyond my imagination in beauty. The real silk, finer than a hair, presented so vividly before our eyes, is truly an 'artwork.'

Qing Dynasty embroidered clothes. The combination of every stitch and thread. Exquisite embroidery skills. Vivid patterns. Symmetrical floral designs, asymmetrical color presentations. The designer's little thoughts are fully revealed. Such embroiderers must have been incredibly talented. A beautiful embroidered garment also carries the hopes of many people - the 'embroiderer' stitches wishes into the clothes, the 'wearer' hopes 'clouds think of clothes, flowers think of beauty, spring breeze brushes the threshold, dew shines brightly.' The 'viewer' is amazed by the touch of red and recalls 'suddenly looking back, that person is in the dim light.'
True luxury.
In my eyes, it is the meticulously handmade works.
Uniform works, no matter how high the price, lack soul.
Things with soul and spirit, just one glance, and they last forever.
You can see the beauty, joy, happiness, pain, sorrow, and the sense of story under the traces of history, the different versions of existence in everyone's heart, the 'light and shadow.'
5
The wisdom of our ancestors.
Is half lost and half awakened in us.
Any of their casual handmade items, when brought out, are classic works that shock the world.
We. Still. Have a bit of a late awakening in our bloodline.
Inheritance. Is a long and arduous task.

Hengli Hotel at Suzhou Bay
Breakfast at Hengli Hotel at Suzhou Bay.
Service.
It is the core that sustains a hotel for a long time.
The phrase 'feels like home' is easy to say but hard to achieve. Every detail hides the essence of 'home'. Without mentioning 'home' every minute, it makes you feel like 'home' every minute.
A good hotel sometimes becomes a landmark of a city. And many people fall in love with a city because of a hotel.
Initially, I thought Hengli's breakfast was just ordinary.
When I entered the breakfast area, I realized how narrow-minded I was.
The lively atmosphere of the breakfast area contrasts with the tranquility of the hotel itself.
Because of good soundproofing, the quietness of the entire night made me feel that the occupancy rate of the whole floor was low.
But when I got to the breakfast area, I was stunned by the high occupancy rate and the bustling dining crowd.
Hengli's breakfast is divided into Chinese and Western sections.
Whether in the Chinese or Western section, all the ingredients are so fresh that you can't resist. The original flavors of the ingredients fill your taste buds, making the entire dining experience so pleasant that I squinted my eyes.
The freshness of the vegetable section. The freshness of the fruit section. The delicacy of the noodle section. The allure of the Western section. The richness of the pastry section. The variety of the soup and porridge section. All of them exude seriousness.
Exude sincerity.
The waiters are busy in an orderly manner, and every 'hello' with a smile carries a natural warmth.
A meal with the essence of human life always soothes people.
The warmth it exudes will touch your heart.
You will always miss it.
So. The true hotel culture is—'Enter my heart. Your heart is like my heart.'
