🌿 Suzhou Survival Guide | Getting lost in the gardens actually unlocks hidden quests 🍜 Noodle Bomb Warning My meridians were opened by a bowl of San Shrimp Noodles… ▫️ Dumbfounded by pan-fried buns: The moment I bit into one, the soup squirted onto the glasses of the grandpa next to me. He calmly wiped his lenses: "Young lady, your inner strength is impressive. Which sect did you train under?" ▫️ The art of sealing crab roe soup dumplings: The waiter taught me to drink the soup with a straw first, but I slurped too quickly and scalded my palate, smoke rising from my head🔥 ▫️ The mystery of mint mung bean soup: It looks like a dark potion, but after drinking it, my head instantly cooled down by ten degrees. The Suzhou granny smiled mysteriously: "This is the Suzhou barrier💧" ⚠️ Foodie Code ✅ Go early for the maple-braised pork noodles at Yuxingji. The broth gets salty after lunch. ✅ Pan Yulin's sugar porridge stall moves around. When you hear the clapper, switch to 100-meter sprint mode. ✅ Remember to ask for shredded ginger with Aozao noodles. Its grease-cutting effect is comparable to the evening breeze in Suzhou's CBD. 🚤 Breaking the Dimensional Wall of the Water Alleys Walking along, I suddenly fell into "Along the River During the Qingming Festival"… ▫️ Pingjiang Road boatwoman's critical hit: Just as I raised my phone to take a picture of the rose wall, a sculling boat suddenly drifted by, playing a Pingtan version of "Blue and White Porcelain"🎵 ▫️ Couple's Garden relationship revelation: While eavesdropping on the tour guide's story about the "east garden jade hairpin betrothal" legend, I bumped into a couple in Hanfu taking wedding photos around the corner💍 ▫️ Yi Pu Tea House encounter: While ordering Biluochun tea in a Ming Dynasty garden, the grandma at the next table suddenly gave me a lesson: "Tea tastes sweeter when you drink it facing the rockery." 🌳 Hidden Rules of the Gardens ▪️ Arrive at the Humble Administrator's Garden at 7:30 for the first wave of entry to capture photos of the Jianshan Tower without tour groups. ▪️ Bring mosquito repellent patches for the evening tour of the Master of the Nets Garden. Mosquitoes love to nibble on the water sleeves during the "Peony Pavilion" performance. ▪️ Photograph the Crown Cloud Peak in the Lingering Garden against the light. The setting sun will gild the edges of the Taihu rocks. 📿 Intangible Cultural Heritage Adventure The artisans are even more skilled than AI… ▫️ Suzhou embroidery mind-reading: I glanced at a double-sided embroidery piece on Zhenhu Street, and the embroiderer held up the frame: "Are you a Rabbit? I'll embroider a carrot background for you"🥕 ▫️ Live olive pit carving: Watching the master carve "The Story of the Olive Stone Boat," he pointed to the 0.5mm window lattice: "This is involution in the micro-carving world." ▫️ Kesi anti-scam class: I wanted to buy a phone charm, but the shopkeeper stopped me: "Real Kesi is more expensive than your phone. I'll weave you a similar one." 🎁 Shopping Code ✅ When buying silk pajamas on Shiquan Street, say "I want 19 momme," and the shop owner will give you a special look. ✅ When choosing water chestnuts at Shuangta Market, look for "Nantang" ones. The vendor will give you bonus cooking instructions. ✅ Don't choose the wooden hammer shortbread when buying pastries by weight on Shantang Street, unless you want to develop Popeye arms. 🌧️ Jiangnan Rainy Season Moisture-Proof Guide Completed a human pickling experiment during the rainy season… ▫️ Huqiu Wedding Dress City adventure: I was so hot trying on a Xiuhe dress that I started sweating. The makeup artist exclaimed: "Girl, you've got your own highlighter!" ▫️ Museum dehumidification battle: In the geometric space designed by I.M. Pei, I discovered that the glass walls were secretly sweating💦 ▫️ Tongli Retreat: Slipped on the stone road and did a moonwalk. The cleaning lady tossed me a straw rope: "Tie it to your shoes, it's more effective than snow chains." ⛱️ Survival Kit ▪️ Bring foldable silicone shoe covers! Pingjiang Road can turn into a water festival at any moment. ▪️ Pack three silk shirts! You can wring out half a cup of Longjing tea from the sweat after half an hour. ▪️ Wear a mini fan around your neck. Even the local aunties will ask for the link. 🌃 Gentle Nighttime Charm Moonlight switches the Suzhou barrier… ▫️ Jinji Lake light trap: Waiting for the musical fountain under the "Big Underpants," I was so mesmerized by the drone show that I forgot to blink✨ ▫️ Shantang raccoon cat encounter: While looking for the Qili Shantang stone tablet, I was approached by a cat. It squatted next to the "Linu" (raccoon cat) sculpture, pretending to be a cultural relic. ▫️ Fengmen Heng Street revival: Rushed to buy fried fish at 8 pm. The owner handed me the last portion: "I'll give you two extra scoops of gravy."

Suzhou in March is a poetic depiction of "the spring is warm and the scenery is bright, and the waves are calm." When the breeze blows, the whole city seems to be overturned by nature's palette, with cherry blossoms, camellias, magnolias, and weeping crabapples... all kinds of flowers will compete for beauty in this bright season, making people breathless! Just thinking about it makes me impatient! 🎈Flower Viewing Guide: Lingering Garden - Camellia - Flowering period: mid to late March - The camellias in Lingering Garden are a big hit, with red flowers blooming all over the tree, pouring down like a red waterfall, making people intoxicated at first sight, and words seem pale and powerless. Master of the Nets Garden - White Magnolia - Flowering period: early to mid March - This is a great place to enjoy magnolias in Suzhou. The pure white magnolias, under the bright sunlight and against the white walls, look like fairies descending to the world, beautiful beyond words. The two white magnolias at the Luhua Pavilion and the entrance are the most photogenic, and you can take great photos with just a snap. Couple's Retreat Garden - Peach Blossom - Flowering period: mid to late March - "The peach blossoms are blooming, and the flowers are bright," this poem is perfectly embodied in the Couple's Retreat Garden. The peach blossoms here bloom just right, as if they are a beautiful painting carefully drawn by nature, making people stop and admire.

When night falls, the night cherry blossoms are even more beautiful, with an atmosphere like "Spring Night," who can resist?

Jingsi Academy - Pink Magnolia - Flowering period: mid to late March - This is a hidden magnolia viewing spot in the alleys of Gusu City. The pink magnolias contrast with the Suzhou-style flower windows and flying eaves, creating a unique beauty that makes people unconsciously immerse themselves in this gentle spring color.

| The hustle and bustle of life and the poetic Jiangnan. 🌸Babies! Today I must share with you the picturesque Suzhou. 💖Suzhou, an ancient city with a history of more than 2,500 years, seems to have walked out of a painting. Strolling along Pingjiang Road, the bluestone road winds forward, and the ancient houses on both sides of the river are scattered in an orderly manner. The white walls, black tiles and carved wooden windows reveal the gentleness and refinement of the Jiangnan area. Here, you can find a cafe by the river, order a cup of fragrant coffee, quietly watch the boats pass by, and feel the slow flow of time. 🌳Suzhou gardens are even more famous. In the Humble Administrator's Garden, there are pavilions, towers, rockery, flowing water, luxuriant flowers and trees. Every step you take brings a new scene that will make you intoxicated. Every landscape contains the wisdom and aesthetics of the ancients, as if telling stories from the past. The winding paths of the Liuyuan Garden and the rugged rocks of the Lion Grove Garden each have their own unique features that make people linger. 🍜The food in Suzhou is not to be missed. Squirrel fish is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a sweet and sour taste; Yangcheng hairy crab has plump crab roe and tender meat; there are also a variety of exquisite Suzhou-style dim sum, such as cakes, pan-fried dumplings, etc., allowing your taste buds to fully enjoy the delicacies of Jiangnan. 🎇Suzhou at night has a unique charm. As the lights come on, the ancient streets and alleys are decorated with lights like a dream. Go strolling in Shantang Street, listening to Pingtan, and feeling the unique charm of the Jiangnan water town. 💕Suzhou is such a charming place. Whether you like history and culture, love natural scenery, or are looking for a food tour, Suzhou can satisfy you. Come to Suzhou and start a romantic journey to the south of the Yangtze River! 💃

What I look forward to most in autumn is the autumn colors of Suzhou Gardens. Every brick and tile, every step, every exquisite composition of ingenious ideas. The framed scenes form a beautiful picture, and you will be moved when you see it. It's really amazing to feel the romance of autumn in this beautiful environment!

The best viewing period is in early December, and the ginkgo viewing period is relatively short, generally concentrated in late November and early December. It will vary slightly depending on the weather each year. If you want to come to Suzhou, it is recommended to arrange your itinerary in advance.

Suzhou’s classical gardens are a UNESCO World Heritage site, renowned for their exquisite beauty and design.

📍 Itinerary Overview 🏖️ Must-Visit Attractions 1. 留园 lingering garden It is one of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed classical gardens of Suzhou. The place is beautiful. Very nice place to take photos, there are many corridors, pavilions, halls etc to take very nice photos. Can wear cheongsam here to take photos, think it really match with the feel here. 2. 西园寺 xiyuan temple This place feels very peaceful. Not as many people as the other garden, there are many cats here too. The vegetarian noodle is yummy as well. There are yellow walls where you can take those instagramable photos too. 3. 平江路 pin jiang road Though many would say it is very commercialized, I still feel that it is worth coming. You can see the narrow road and stone bridge crisscross the waterways. There are many small shop selling souvenirs. And tea house where you can rest your legs and escape from the hot afternoon sun. Have some local tea and listen to the local traditional opera/music. Suzhou have their traditional opera performance called 苏州评弹 Suzhou pingtan. Worth a try but do take note that there are some that have hidden fees. 4. 七里山塘街 qili shantang street Night view is beautiful as lanterns are lighted. 🚇 Transportation Personally I feel that taking train is much more convenient as it comes on time and it is air conditioned. Traffic is a bit congested so the bus might be delayed, and waiting for the bus in hot weather is a torture. 🍜 Local Cuisine 1. 绿豆汤Mung bean soup Not your traditional kind, it is peppermint drink with mung beans and many other toppings. Those who hate it would say it tastes like toothpaste. But people who love it will find it so refreshing! 2. 生煎包 pan fried pork bun Had these everyday during my trip. My favorites would still be from 鑫震源 3. 素面 vegetarian noodle Specifically from 西园寺 xi yuan temple. 4. 苏式糖粥 Suzhou style sweet porridge It is typically made with glutinous rice in the form of porridge and pair with red bean soup. There are other variety where you can add mini rice ball. 5. 桂花糖藕 sweet osmanthus lotus roots It is a cold dish where they stuffed glutinous rice inside the lotus root and cook with sugar syrup flavored with osmanthus. 6. 鸡头米 gorgon seed I had it stir fried with celery and water chestnut. The texture of the gorgon seed is slightly chewy. I also saw that it can be added as toppings for some sweet dessert like in the sweet porridge. 7. 松子桂鱼 sweet and sour mandarin fish with pine nuts The mandarin fish was prepared and cut in a way that after it was being deep fried, it resemble a squirrel. It was served with sweet and sour sauce and topped with pine nuts. 🏠 Accommodation 1.Pan Pacific Suzhou There is a private access from the hotel to 盘门 pan men, a historic landmark in Suzhou. It is the only remaining land and water gate left in China (if I’m not wrong). Do spend some time here as it is quite big. There is a big Chinese garden with pavilions and canals. There are also some activities there too for kid

The Lingering Garden in Suzhou is one of China's four famous gardens (along with the Summer Palace in Beijing, the Mountain Resort in Chengde, and the Humble Administrator's Garden in Suzhou). It was originally built in 1593 during the Ming Dynasty by a man named Xu Taishi, who had been dismissed from his official position. Initially called the East Garden, it fell into disrepair and was later rebuilt during the Qing Dynasty by a man named Liu Shu, who renamed it Liu Garden. It was opened to the public and became a tourist attraction. The garden fell into disrepair again during the Taiping Rebellion in the Qing Dynasty and was purchased and rebuilt by a man named Sheng Kang in 1876, who renamed it the Lingering Garden. During the Second Sino-Japanese War, it was used to house military horses and fell into disrepair once more. After the establishment of the People's Republic of China, the Suzhou city government took over and restored the garden, opening it to the public in 1954.

Suzhou City in Autumn Once again, I was amazed by the aesthetic wisdom of our ancestors. They used the technique of changing scenery to the fullest. One step, one scene, one frame, one painting. The so-called re-creating the world within a short distance is not an exaggeration at all. The light and shadow on the white wall are mottled, the shadows of the trees are dancing, and the red maples and yellow apricots are crisscrossed. It seems that there is a long-planned surprise hidden around every corner. When the wind blows the fallen leaves All the quiet colors seem to come alive with a throbbing heart 🌟Highlights: Suzhou P1 Art Garden P2 Master of Nets Garden P3 Humble Administrator's Garden P4 Humble Administrator's Garden P5 Lingering Garden P6 Lingering Garden P7 Lingering Garden P8 Saionji Temple P9 Saionji Temple P 10Humble Administrator's Garden P11 Humble Administrator's Garden P12 Tiger Hill P13 Tiger Hill P14 Huanxiu Villa P15 Art Garden

I visit Suzhou many times every year My favorite is Suzhou in late autumn The combination of gardens and autumn colors Is definitely the ceiling of the autumn viewing industry - 👇My autumn viewing route Tiger Hill→Lingering Garden→Humble Administrator's Garden→Xiyuan Temple→Tianping Mountain→Shuangta Temple→Taiping Zen Street→Tiger Hill Wetland Park - 🌟Recommended autumn viewing spots 1️⃣Tiger Hill The most beautiful ginkgo check-in place in Suzhou in autumn, go to Tiger Hill to take a ginkgo rain, the two rows of ginkgo trees at the south entrance of Tiger Hill are beautiful, the maple leaves inside are red, the forests are all dyed, and they are beautiful. - 2️⃣Humble Administrator's Garden The current Humble Administrator's Garden can be described as the ceiling of Suzhou's autumn viewing. The pavilions, terraces and pavilions, framing and window views, one step at a time, every place wants to stop and take pictures. - 3️⃣Tianping Mountain One of the four famous red maple mountains in China, when it comes to autumn, the whole mountain becomes red. The red maple of Tianping Mountain is mainly concentrated on Shijing Pond, Fangsheng Pond, Baiyun Pond and other watersides. - 4️⃣Xiyuan Temple Here, ginkgo leaves are not swept, watching ginkgo, stroking cats, eating vegetarian noodles, are the three must-do things for autumn outings in Xiyuan Temple. Stroking cats in the temple is also a fun thing. - 5️⃣Shuangta Temple There are two very large ginkgo trees here, very spectacular, very close to Pingjiang Road. - 6️⃣Lingering Garden Every window and scene in Lingering Garden is uniquely beautiful. The main attractions of Lingering Garden are the few red maples at the entrance and the red maples on the back mountain. - 7️⃣Taiping Zen Temple Taiping Zen Temple has a hundred-year-old ginkgo tree, which is the tallest and largest I have seen so far. Taking pictures under the tree is very atmospheric. The ginkgo leaves are almost yellow now. - 8️⃣Tiger Hill Wetland Park In autumn, the water cypress in Tiger Hill Wetland Park is red all over the forest. Every year at this season, Tiger Hill Wetland Park is as beautiful as a town in a fairy tale. - 🌟tips 1️⃣The time for autumn viewing is roughly from the end of November to December. The ginkgo and red maple gradually turn yellow. Now many have turned yellow. The ginkgo is faster, so it is recommended to hurry up. 2️⃣There are really many people watching the autumn, it is recommended to go early in the morning, there will not be many people, there will be crowds at noon and afternoon.

The last stop in Suzhou is to stay in the park. In addition to being one of the four famous gardens in Suzhou, the Liuyuan Garden is also one of the four famous gardens in China. Some people also call the Taihu stone "Guanyun Peak" in the garden one of the three famous stones in Jiangnan gardens. The most famous thing about Liuyuan is that there are many fake mountains and rocks, with pavilions and ancient trees, which are very exquisite and beautiful. Here you can learn deeply about ancient Chinese architectural art, as well as the unique landscape and flower forest. The small bridges and flowing water complement the Jiangnan garden scenery. It is really beautiful like a painting. I think it is really worth coming to feel the classical atmosphere of the garden. You need to purchase an admission ticket to enter the stay park. You can buy it online in advance in Hong Kong, which is very convenient. #Suzhou Attractions #Stay in the Garden

Getting There - 338 Liuyuan Road, Gusu District, Suzhou This is a classical 16th century Chinese garden featuring rock, water and pavilion. It’s smaller than Humble Administrator’s Garden but due to its significance in Chinese culture, it’s considered as the Classical Gardens of Suzhou. I recommend a visit to this and Humble Administrator’s Garden to have a more complete understanding of Chinese garden and design. This garden features more stone mountains and a lot of bamboo to add the softness in constrast to its Stone mountains. There are a lot of bonsais too. The garden is divided into four distinctly themed sections; East, Central, West, and North. So it’s quite easy to navigate around. #suzhou

The lingering garden is one of the oldest gardens in Suzhou. It is located in the Gusu district of suzhou, and is known for many things and one of the things is it’s really beautiful and simplistic windows. This garden is special because all around the garden there are different rooms and chambers which are all separated but still connected at the same time. And this is all because of the design of the windows. One thing that you would notice is that these windows aren’t like your average windows they do not have the normal glass that you would have in your regular Windows so they are designed so that they create a separation between the inside and the outside and also creates a connection at the same time between inside and outside. which I consider really amazing. #suzhou #scenicspotguide #suzhoulandmark #scenicspotphotoguide #suzhougardens #awesomepic

After quite a bit of walking around, one thing that makes the stay worth while, is also the fact that you can stop at this cozy and aesthetic tea shop, you’re able to take a break from walking around all the time, and have a nice sip of hot tea with a view. This is also a shop where they sell some souvenirs some postcards and different things about the garden you can see some of the photos that were taken hundreds of years ago by different photographers and you can actually have them and compare with the newer photos that you’ve taken then you can also buy some little nice tea cups if you’re interested. So I personally think that this is a fantastic touch in addition to the garden.

One thing to notes when you’re at the the the Lingering Garden in Suzhou. Is that you are going to have a high possibility of getting lost in the Lingering Garden is not one of the biggest gardens of Suzhou but there are so many different rooms and chambers which in the olden times serve different purposes, such as receiving guests, dining spaces, the rooms and sleeping chambers, the meeting rooms and so many more. when I got there for the first time I realized this very quickly that I would have to pay attention to where I am in the garden so as not to completely get lost there are so many different quarters and doorways they lead to new places all the time. So here’s an interesting fact about this garden. #scenicspotguide #urbanexplorer #suzhou #suzhoulandmark
