The only snap worthy coffee shop in Suzhou university is located in the main campus just behind the campus supermarket . It was recently renovated to give a more modern and relaxing feeling to it . The chairs and table match are pretty comfortable and the interior design of the place is really beautiful. Lots of book shelves filled with enlightening books mostly in mandarin but also a few English books the coffee options are really vast too . I got an americano with a little bit of milk which cost me 20 chinese renminbi . (In my honest opinion, I think it’s a little bit pricey for university students ) anyways , I really loved the patio area of the coffee shop for mild to serious discussions , I saw a group of people holding meetings there . Most Chinese students go there to study , some go there to relax and other go there to discuss and chat . There’s also a fast WiFi available at the coffee shop in case you need to stream online videos etc . All things considered , I’d say this is a very good spot to study , chat , relax etc. #decembertravel #nyedestinations

Autumn report: The picture shows the autumn scenery at the main campus of Suzhou University on November 29. Suzhou University Tiancizhuang Campus, formerly Dongwu University, is a university with a history of over 100 years. It was the first Western-style university in China and is also one of the top ten most beautiful campuses in the country. Every late November, the ginkgo leaves turn golden yellow. In early December, the dawn redwood leaves turn red as the temperature drops. At this time, the ginkgo leaves begin to fall with the wind, covering the ground. The Republic of China-era red brick buildings on campus, enhanced by the autumn colors and sunlight, are stunningly beautiful. Practical information: Suzhou University Tiancizhuang Campus is free to visit on weekends. Reservations can be made in advance via the official WeChat account. Visitors must enter through the North Gate of Suzhou University (Ganjiang Road) by scanning their ID cards.

Students in Zhejiang Province have welcomed their first autumn break, allowing them to travel during off-peak seasons – how wonderful! Arrived in Suzhou around 1:30 PM. 1. Suzhou University – Dinner can be had at the university's Xinyuan Canteen; a wide variety of options at very reasonable prices. 2. Day Two: Hanshan Temple – Xiyuan Temple – Tiger Hill Scenic Area – Shantang Street This was the route I was most looking forward to, but while Hanshan Temple is famous, it was just okay. I preferred Xiyuan Temple. I even had the vegetarian noodles there – my second time trying them, and they were still delicious. They also added vegetarian buns, 10 yuan a bag, five large buns. We didn't go to Tiger Hill. In the evening, we took a boat tour from Bai Juyi Wharf on Shantang Street. Disappointment outweighed expectations; the red lanterns on both banks stopped lighting up around 8 PM. 3. Day Three Suzhou Museum – Lion Grove Garden – Dinghui Temple – Wu Zuoren Art Museum – Twin Pagodas Market – Zhu Xinnian Tangyuan (Sweet Rice Balls) – Wanfuxing Noodle Shop – Home First, the Suzhou Museum. The building itself is truly beautiful, with sunlight streaming through the ceilings of the corridors, and the design is evident everywhere. However, the exhibits are quite average. Of the three national treasures, two are replicas. The design of the building is more visually appealing than the collection itself. Those who enjoy architecture can visit. It's best to rent an audio guide for children, otherwise they will be unhappy because of the crowds and won't be interested in exploring. After the Suzhou Museum, the Lion Grove Garden is nearby. The entrance fee is 30 yuan. There's currently a chrysanthemum exhibition, so flower lovers can visit and take photos. The kids had a blast exploring the artificial hills, saying it was like an outdoor version of a cave exploration factory, very fun, and they went in and out repeatedly without getting tired. After the Lion Grove Garden, we took a taxi to the Twin Pagodas. Dinghui Lane is a one-way street, so we got off at the intersection and walked in. The Suzhou Tourist Service Center is right at the intersection. The third floor has photo spots for the Twin Pagodas, as well as tables and chairs for resting. It's quiet and not crowded. The second floor seems to be a bookstore or something similar; you can browse if you have time. There are free stamp collection services on the first floor. Dinghui Temple is free to enter. It's a small temple, and the 300-year-old ginkgo tree isn't fully yellow yet; I think it will be even more beautiful at the end of the month. The Wu Zuoren Art Museum is free. You can take photos of the Twin Pagodas' reflection in the backyard. The persimmon tree in the courtyard is amazing. The window on the second-floor staircase of the art museum is also a great spot for taking photos of the Twin Pagodas. The Twin Pagoda Market has many snacks and fun things to do. Tangpan Drunken Crab is very famous, but also expensive. We bought two drunken crabs (one male and one female) from a nearby Crab Heaven and Crab Land restaurant for only 76 yuan—cheap and delicious! However, the Crab Shell Pastry shop next to Tangpan is also very good and reasonably priced. For noodles, we chose Wanfuxing Noodle Restaurant, recommended by a local Didi driver. We ordered pork rib noodles and eel noodles, plus a side of toppings. It's affordable and delicious, a noodle shop frequented by locals in Suzhou. Locals say you shouldn't eat noodles that cost more than 30 yuan. Zhu Xinnian's glutinous rice balls are sold individually; they're quite large. If you don't like sweet food, you can choose the fresh meat filling—delicious and not greasy. Our family of three ordered four.

My recent trip to Suzhou, China, was an unforgettable experience filled with picturesque views, rich cultural history, and vibrant city lights. Known as the “Venice of the East,” Suzhou is famous for its classical gardens, silk production, and intricate canals. Upon arriving, I immediately felt the charm that has captivated travelers for centuries. One of the highlights of my visit was a night stroll along the beautiful canals and lakes. Suzhou’s old town, illuminated at night, is a breathtaking sight. The soft glow of lanterns and lights reflecting off the water creates a serene yet enchanting atmosphere. I took a memorable photo during this walk, capturing the tranquility of the lake and the beauty of the full moon overhead. The peaceful ambiance was a perfect contrast to the bustling city life I had experienced in Shanghai before coming to Suzhou. During the day, I explored some of Suzhou’s UNESCO World Heritage-listed classical gardens, including the Lingering Garden and the Humble Administrator’s Garden. These gardens are renowned for their meticulous design, where every element—rock formations, ponds, plants, and pavilions—is carefully arranged to create harmony. The Humble Administrator’s Garden, with its lotus-filled ponds and winding pathways, was particularly captivating. Walking through it felt like stepping back in time, providing a glimpse into ancient Chinese garden aesthetics and philosophy. Another highlight was Suzhou’s rich history of silk production. I visited the Suzhou Silk Museum, where I learned about the city’s important role in the ancient Silk Road. The museum showcased the intricate process of silk weaving, from silkworm cultivation to the final product. Watching the artisans at work was fascinating, and I couldn’t resist buying a silk scarf as a souvenir. The local cuisine added an extra layer of excitement to my trip. Suzhou’s dishes are known for their subtle sweetness and refined flavors. I enjoyed traditional dishes like sweet-and-sour Mandarin fish and Suzhou-style mooncakes. Each meal was a delightful experience that introduced me to new flavors and cooking techniques unique to this region. Overall, Suzhou offers a perfect blend of natural beauty, cultural heritage, and modern charm. The city’s well-preserved classical elements, combined with its vibrant night scene, make it a unique travel destination. My visit to Suzhou was an enriching journey, leaving me with beautiful memories and a deeper appreciation for Chinese history and culture. I hope to return one day to further explore this enchanting city.#localguides #deliciousfood
