Jinji Lake is a fresh water lake located in the central part of Suzhou Industrial Park, Jiangsu, China. It occupies an area of 7.18 square kilometers and its average depth is about 2.5–3 meters. There are two man-made islands in the lake.

Sunset walk at Jinji lake 🌅
Jinji Lake is the perfect place to spend an evening. It's a beautiful view of Suzhou's modern side. And it's free.
Late afternoon start at Dongfangzhimen Gate to the East or Suzhou Centre subway stop and head out to the lake. Take your time walking and enjoying the sights or snacks around the lake.
Walk over to the other side and lake, The Culture and Expo Centre, to watch the sun go down behind the Gate to the East, more commonly known as the pants/trousers building 👖 😅
There are food options on either side. It's a lovely leisurely activity. #tripblazers#summervacation#suzhou#awesomepic

Jinji Lake; a reminder of Singapore
Surrounded by beautiful walking paths on every side, Jinji lake is relatively small compared to others in the city, which means that it's also quiet of tourists. The closest metro station is just a few streets away, you can be invested in the natural landscape, whilst admiring the beautiful built up modern buildings.
The restaurants in the area are positioned on islands in the lake. They are varied and flavourful, and have stunning views of the lake, thanking to the fact you're in the middle of it.
It's really a peaceful moment to wonder this part of Suzhou and I highly recommend.

Bridges of Jinji lake
Getting There - you can take the metro line 4 to Beisita and it's a short quiet walk to the late.
Attractions - the beautiful emerald lake has several islands that allow you to explore via the many bridges in this area, all slightly different in construction and feature wood and brick.

Sunset Walk at Jinji Lake 🌇✨
I went by popular parts of Jinji Lake a lot of times, but I was pleasantly surprised by this side of the lake which is so tranquil for a walk, away from the usual crowd and such a perfect place for snapping 📸 I highly recommend going there before sunset so that you witness golden hour with this beautiful Suzhou skyline 🌇✨ There are also a few benches around to sit and relax 🌿🌱🍃
How to go there ➡️ It’s the pathway along XianDai Avenue, 现代大道,also accessible from Jinju Road 金琚路. I went by taxi. Closest 🚇 is Culture & Expo Center, 文化博览中心

#createwithtrip
Whenever im at the jinji lake , one thing I always try to take with me is my drone, because then I get to take amazing photos like this, took these photos from the East side of the lake, where you can see the moon harbor, Times Square and the really cool Ferris wheel!
another thing that you can do on the Jinji lake would be to go on a boat cruise or if you have your own boat you can go sailing around on the lake also seen some people using paddle boards to paddle around on this lake.
And another thing that you can’t really get over every time you visit this lake is in the amazing views you’re able to see so many nice spots and different sites that make for fantastic pictures.

the mysterious island on the Jinji lake!
#createwithtrip
One interesting thing about jinji lake is that there are so many different areas around the lake that really look beautiful and can really be a nice spot to experience in the lake.
All the different areas around the lake are covered with different parks and gardens and beautiful locations that you can either take photos or take a walk or just relax.
However located in the middle of this lake is a certain mysterious island. It’s not connected to any other areas so you’d only be able to reach the spot by a boat. It’s not really a mysterious island but it’s one of the spots that I’ve never been to and it would be really interesting to visit one day.

The Jinshui wan bridge
this place is located at the south eastern part of jinji lake in Suzhou china. This is a place called jinshui wanzhan bridge. This is a place that I have talked about and some previous posts, and I truly have nothing bad to say about this place it’s a gorgeous location where you have an intersection of winding bridges which overlook the jinji lake from these bridges. At this place you can also see some of the very popular sights of Suzhou. Such as the IFS tower and the gate of the Orient in Suzhou China.
many people come here for reasons such as recreation exercise or just taking a walk by the lake. This is also a very gorgeous location at night so you will want to check it out when you visit.

A large lake with many different parts
There are many large large lakes in China but in my opinion this is the most developed and interesting. The lake itself is huge and we decided to walk around the whole lake last winter which took around 4 – 4.5 hours.
There are some good hotels around the hotel, a large bar area/ street, several communities and many restaurants. After walking around the lake for hours you really get the sense the areas have their own character.
There is also a large pedestrian bridge which has been built recently making it easier to walk around the bottom side of the lake.
Parking is easy as there is a large car park at the north side of the lake.
James in Shanghai
Ever visited this Bridge on the Jinji lake?
Around the south eastern region of the Jinji lake, lies this magnificent bridge. for a while this spot was under construction and I had no idea that anything as crazy as that was being built. however one evening I was riding my scooter along the road and I caught a glimpse of this amazing location and had to stop.
the next morning i set out very early and this time came with my camera gear and drone and I was able to get so amazing shots.
the name of this place is called jinshui wan bridge. this is a place where many people come in the early morning for a walk or a jog, and also in the evening time it’s a whole new experience!

Sunset walk at Jinji lake Suzhou 🌅
If you go down to the southern part of the jinji lake you will come upon the breathtaking location and that is the ligongdi area. it is an extremely beautiful and high class area from which you can watch the sun set.
On this day I went for coffee in one of the many coffee shops in this area, and afterwards I decided to pick my camera and take as may shots as I could of this area and to be honest I didn’t have to look too far. you have a great view of the gate of the orient, and the IFS tower as well.
When walking around I also noticed quite a number of people walking and strolling around this beautiful area trying to either get a workout in, or to simply absorb the serene energy.

Check out this Unique Jinji lake Wharf!
This is definitely not a common sight to see except you live in Suzhou China of course,
If you’re ever in the Ligong Di area of Suzhou, which is on the south side of jinji lake, be sure to check out this amazing location!
I stumbled upon it while taking a ride around the area, and one thing I noticed is that it’s almost never crowded.
It’s a very good spot to have an evening stroll or an early morning yoga or meditation session.
The calm and peaceful waves really heighten the serenity and it’s a great spot to watch the sunset.
The only down side I would say at this point is the fact that there is quite a bit of construction going on in the lake and around the area, but this is only temporary, and wasn’t too much of a problem for me! #suzhou #jinjilake #historicculture #scenicspotguide

Gate of the East
Never have I ever been on a such tall door that shows the gateway to the East. With a whooping height of nearly 300 metres, this archway 🌆 is a symbolic representation of that it has opened gates to the economic prosperity of the city. It also tells you that you've reached the city centre of Suzhou, right in the middle of the CBD (Central Business District). With a nice evening to spend in front of the Jinji lake (as it is in the shape of heart of a chicken 🐓 😂 ), people throng here every evening. They also do have a nice laser lit water dance🎊 show, which is quite an amusement for kids and families. Situated right above the Dongfang station, you can easily reach here by 🚈 and coming out there are lot of amazing food options. A perfect evening getaway if you're living in Suzhou #suzhoutravel #couplestrip

Vibrant cities
Great cities always have their vibe radiating miles away from them. Most plausibly, with orient tower in Suzhou they want to mimic the Oriental pearl tower of Shanghai. Giving us the nice skyline view 🤠 and a total reflection 🪞 of economic development that the city has been undergoing. Quite known as one of the most beautiful city in China, Suzhou even in the city center has some pleasant lakes. Around which they've built these skyscrapers to aid the aesthetic look of it. We spent the evening in the rooftop bar of W hotel 🛍️, sinking in both of whiskey sour and cool breeze. #urbanexplorer

Fucha and Xi Shi in the Suzhou City West Lingyan Mountain Gusutai, enjoy the game and ignore political affairs. Qiong Ji found that Goujian had ulterior motives and raised his defense against his father several times. The husband did not believe, but instead listened to the words of Xi Shi, and rushed Qiong Ji to a deserted island in the unnamed Great Lakes in the east of Suzhou City.

Tradition and modernity, ancient charm and trendy vibes!
Today is my last day in Suzhou, moving from the traditional charm of the Gusu old town to the trendy modernity by the Jinji Lake.
Jinji Lake is located in the northeast of the old city of Suzhou and is the central lake of the Suzhou Industrial Park. It boasts ten major attractions: 'Suzhou Center', 'Gate of the Orient', 'Musical Fountain', 'Culture and Arts Center', 'Moonlight Wharf', 'Eslite Bookstore', 'Round Sky Dome', 'International Finance Center', 'Lake View Corner', and 'Li Gong Causeway'. Among them, 'Gate of the Orient', also colloquially known as 'The Giant Trousers', is a symbolic building of Suzhou! Today's Suzhou can be said to have both the charm of the gardens of the south of the Yangtze River and the beauty of an international metropolis, not at all inferior to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen!

Beside the Gate of the Orient lies a secret garden, where the roses are in full bloom
Within the Ouyue Garden by the Jinji Lake in the industrial park,
a dense array of roses
exudes a rich fragrance.
This dreamlike Ouyue Garden
is one of the hot spots for check-ins at the Jinji Lake scenic area in May.
The Ouyue Garden, spanning thousands of square meters,
hosts eight varieties of European roses such as Queen of Sweden, Princess Margaret,
Pink Dragon Sapphire, Novarlis,

Chilling in Jinji Lake ⛴️⛵️🛥️
#chinatrip
As a national 5AAAAA scenic spot, Jinji lake has been a tourist spot opens to the public for free!!! It is located in the CBD district of Suzhou Industrial Park where you can get there directly by taking the public transportation to either Gate of the Oriental OR Culture and Expo Centre.
Nothing much to do here but I will still highly recommend to come here in the evening when the weather is good as you will get to see the beautiful sunset along with the lake view!
If you are here on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, there will be music fountain show happens at 7 pm that lasts for 20 min. (Depends on the weather). Or if you want to see the lighting show of the Gate of the Orient from the distance, this is the place and it will be on every Fri night from night fall until 10 pm. Again, this is FREE of charge!
