[2025 Suzhou Stay] Travel Guide for Suzhou Lim · Orange Bay Lake View Homestay (Updated Jun)

The newly viral "Taihu Castle Café" in Suzhou, recently flooding Xiaohongshu, finally allowed me to book the connected lim·Tangerine Bay Homestay in advance—weekend getaway, here we come! Driving across Taihu Lake Bridge, the geometric architecture standing by the lakeside from afar looked like a Nordic fairytale castle, instantly skyrocketing my anticipation! ✨ 【Framing Taihu Lake into Daily Life】 The room with floor-to-ceiling windows lets you lounge on the sofa by day, watching the lake's sparkling waves 🌊. By dusk, golden sunlight spills in as you recline on the windowsill's rattan chair, immersing in a sunset theater brimming with ceremony 🌇. Every corner of the room exudes design: Marshall speakers, Leica hair dryers, custom mineral water with tangerine motifs... From the underground art gallery to the rooftop terrace, the minimalist philosophy of "Less is More" runs throughout—even the hallway's play of light and shadow becomes a natural photo backdrop 📸. 【Claiming the Best Sunset Spot Over Taihu Lake】 The homestay's rooftop terrace is a paradise for "sunset devotees"! In the evening, the sun melts like a tangerine candy 🍊, slowly dipping into the lake. 💫 (P14-15) Highly recommend trying the "Terrace Sunset Private Dinner"! Sitting on rattan chairs with grilled shrimp asparagus pesto pasta and slow-cooked Australian steak rice 🍝, watching the sky shift from honey-orange to pink-purple—even the coffee cups gilded with golden light. This luxury of "savoring both cuisine and views" might just be the ultimate meaning of vacation 🥂. Morning calls for the exclusive romance of "Lying in Bed Watching Mist"! At 7 AM, draw the curtains to see thin fog drifting over the lake 🌫️. Brew a coffee and sit on the terrace as sunlight gradually pierces the clouds—this slow, healing moment is something only Taihu Lake can offer ☕️. If you too want to escape the urban concrete jungle, come here to dream a "tangerine-sea-scented" dream—sipping coffee in the art gallery by day, awaiting sunset on the terrace by dusk, and falling asleep to the sound of Taihu's waves at night 🌙. Turns out, the ideal getaway never requires a long journey.
