2025 Yangcheng Lake Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

I drove to and from Suzhou to Changshu with my E-bike. One way is 40 Km distance covered within an hour with 52 speed/hour. On the way near Yangcheng lake town, found this beautiful Huangluo temple from Tang dynasty. Seen the real `Hulu` for the first time😯 If you live in Suzhou and are planning to spend time with family at the Yangcheng lake, then you can visit this temple. I bet you will enjoy its tranquil atmosphere. The colorful design of this temple reminded me the Forbidden City of Beijing. If you have ever visited the Forbidden City then you will find the same. #temple #suzhou #yangchenglake #huangluotemple #summervacation

this place is called Park Catholic Church and is located at the far south side of the yangcheng lake. One thing I like to do when I want to find a new place to visit is that I look on my Maps, and just randomly scroll through till I find a very cool place, that I think would be nice to visit. Usually I try to make it close to my location but after exploring everywhere around me then I start to go farther away. This place was one of the places that I randomly found on my maps and I decided to take a short trip there and coming up to the location I didn’t even know there was a structure like this, which made it such a huge surprise as I saw how beautiful the location was. i’ll say a bit more about this place on my next post. 😇 #nationalpark #naturalwonders #lakes #awesomepic #suzhoutravel #suzhou

Suzhou Village, which opened its doors for the first time in May 2014, is located on the western shore of Yangcheng Lake Peninsula, in historic Suzhou, and serves the discerning visitors to this major tourist destination. The design of Suzhou Village is an original fusion of Italian and artisanal Chinese influences that create an elegant, distinct and wholly authentic customer experience. In spring 2020, which was around the time that I visited, the Village opened a new phase to add a further 75 boutiques and five restaurants, Its a massive place so you won’t get bored walking around this area. Suzhou Village is home to a distinctive offer of international luxury fashion and lifestyle brands, so this is where many people come to buy some nice luxury or big brand items. #suzhouvillage #spring#travelinspiration #springholiday

My recent visit to Yang Cheng Lake in Suzhou was nothing short of magical. Known for its exquisite views and tranquil atmosphere, this scenic spot offered an idyllic escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. As the day drew to a close, I took a peaceful walk along the lake’s shoreline, with the sun sinking slowly below the horizon, casting a golden glow across the water. The colors of the sunset reflected beautifully on the calm surface, creating an ethereal ambiance that felt almost surreal. The serenity of the area, combined with the sound of gentle waves, made it the perfect spot for a contemplative stroll. The walk allowed me to fully appreciate the natural beauty of the surroundings, as well as the historical significance of the lake, which is famous for its hairy crabs and rich cultural heritage. It was a reminder that sometimes, the best way to connect with a place is by simply enjoying its quiet moments. #earthdayjourney #YangChengLake #Suzhou #SunsetWalk #TravelDiaries #NatureLovers #SunsetVibes #SustainableTravel #ExploreSuzhou

During my recent visit to a charming restaurant near Yang Cheng Lake in Suzhou, I had the privilege of savoring the renowned hairy crabs that are a local delicacy. These crabs are celebrated not only for their exquisite flavor but also for their unique breeding process right in the fresh waters of Yang Cheng Lake. At the restaurant, the crabs were served steamed, showcasing the freshest catch possible. The preparation was simple yet perfect—steamed to preserve their delicate sweetness and rich roe. The crab’s legs were tender, and the creamy, buttery roe was the highlight of the dish, bursting with a luxurious flavor that’s unlike anything I’ve tasted before. The atmosphere of the restaurant was cozy, with a strong emphasis on celebrating the seasonal harvest. Dining here was an immersive experience in understanding how local food culture is intertwined with the environment. If you're in Suzhou during crab season, I highly recommend visiting this spot for a taste of one of the most authentic, mouthwatering experiences in the region! #discoverchina #YangChengLake #HairyCrabs #FreshCrab #SeafoodLovers #LocalDelicacies #FoodieAdventure #SustainableDining

Spring is the perfect time to explore Suzhou on two wheels! The weather is just right, and there’s no better way to take in the stunning views than by bike. The area around Yangcheng Lake is ideal for those looking for peace and beautiful landscapes. 🌳🌼 It’s a calm escape, perfect for nature lovers and those who want to enjoy a relaxing ride. It’s important to be prepared, though, as the ride can be a bit challenging for those who aren’t used to cycling long distances. But don’t worry – the effort is totally worth it! 🚴♀️ I recommend cycling along Yangcheng Road, taking in the serene surroundings, and stopping for a lovely lunch at Bicester (Suzhou Village). It’s the perfect spot to relax and refuel after your ride! 🍴✨ If you don’t have your own bike, you can easily rent a Hello bike along the way or at hotels. 🚲💨 Suzhou in spring is simply magical, and cycling is one of the best ways to experience it all! 🌸🚴♂️ #SuzhouSpring #CyclingInSuzhou #YangchengLake #MelloBikes #SpringAdventure #ExploreSuzhou

On January 15, 2016, the Qiputang project riverside hub officially started pumping water.

Yangcheng Lake finally has a second option besides Indigo - Banyan Tree/Willow Tree, which will open in August 2024 with brand new rooms and facilities. (Apart from the typhoon factor) The hotel environment is good, located in the beautiful leg, the environment is relatively quiet, and the number of Willow Hotel is more than Banyan Tree Hotel. If you stay at the hotel, it is recommended to book the superior room type (suite or above) of Willow, which is much more cost-effective! The superior room type of Willow is about 1,000 yuan cheaper than the lowest room type of Banyan Tree, but you can enjoy the facilities of both hotels (even the gym and swimming pool of Willow are better), which is very cost-effective. Banyan Tree's strengths are that they serve alcohol for breakfast (a tipsy breakfast), have fancier room products (like Dyson hair dryers vs Philips), and take a boat to the hotel for check-in (a bit of a gimmick). I have to say that the breakfast at Yueliu is of great quality, varied and clean. It is not too crowded even during peak hours, and the desserts are excellent. Yue Liu's Chinese restaurant Yue Qing (Hunan cuisine) currently only offers set meals, but the food is very good. It's just that the service may not be up to par during busy hours (there are too few waiters at the new opening). The Baiyun Restaurant at Banyan Tree is as excellent as ever, with good service and delicious dishes. Currently, the restaurant does not charge corkage fees and you can bring your own wine. The Willow gym is well-equipped and the swimming pool is large. It is really nice to swim alone if there is no one around. There is also a hot spring bath (for both men and women), but it is just a hot spring pool, not a hot spring, and there are no snacks available, which is a bit useless. Overall, it is a #cost-effective hotel where you can enjoy a deserted holiday. But one thing is, if there are few people (like we were on the first day of the Mid-Autumn Festival), breakfast will be concentrated in the Banyan Tree, and it is semi-buffet with fewer choices, so the cost-effectiveness is much worse. So the experience here depends a lot on luck...it is indeed very comfortable when there are few people. Typhoon + new hotel experience, a holiday with plenty of rest!

Due to the Indigo Hotel on the Bund in Shanghai, we chose this brand without hesitation when coming to Yangcheng Lake. The hotel is located at the C position of Yangcheng Lake, situated in the "Bird Paradise, Ecological Wetland" - Yunshan Lake Park, with a 270-degree panoramic lake view. The design of the hotel reflects the unique local cultural atmosphere, with elements such as "crab, net, lake, lotus," creating a water town neighborhood style. The hotel has a total of 108 rooms, and we booked a garden view room, but the front desk upgraded us to a lake view room. The room is about 50 square meters and has a large viewing balcony. Standing on the balcony, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Yangcheng Lake. The hotel is located by the lake, with an excellent surrounding ecological environment. In the morning or evening, you can take a walk, ride a bike, or enjoy the beautiful lake scenery, fully experiencing a peaceful and comfortable vacation.

So far I have been to two churches in Suzhou. This one is undoubtedly bigger with stunning scenic spot. It is located by the bank of beautiful Yangcheng lake of Suzhou, China. I didn't go inside the church but I was satisfied enough with the outside scenic view. If you see my captures you might get an idea about this place. From Suzhou downtown (Time Square) this place is about 30 mins drive by car. If you desire to see Suzhou city from bird's eye view then you can experience the helicopter ride which is within walking distance from the church. #wintergetaway#travelinspiration#unforgettableexperiences#awesomepic#historicculture#roadtrip#urbanexplorer

When I went to the autumn wind to eat crabs, I went to Suzhou Yangcheng Lake to enjoy the cool weather. Of course, the main purpose is to go to the local to eat crabs.

It tastes a bit sweet and sweet. In addition to eating crabs, there are many rivers to choose from. The local specialties, the screw tastes very good.

At this time of the year, there is a delicious food that must be eaten, that is, hairy crabs. Take a boat to Lotus Island and stroll along the lotus pond. Although it is almost October, there are still a lot of pink lotuses greeted us, and the sunflowers smiled at the sunshine. Pick a big male crab and eat it very well.

On the weekend, I went out with a few friends and went to the lotus island of Yangcheng Lake in Suzhou. This is the center of Yangcheng Lake. Not only can you taste delicious crabs, you can also play inside. Yiyuan is a Suzhou garden in Yangcheng Lake, which has a lot of information about the past of Yangcheng Lake. Equivalent to a very content museum. You can learn a lot of content in the 15 yuan ticket. It feels very interesting.

The authentic Yangcheng Lake hairy crab is really a yellow cover. Under the guidance of the master, it is a brand new experience to use the crab to taste authentic crabs.

The Yiyuan Museum is located in the northeast corner of Lotus Island. The "Golden Bricks" displayed inside are engraved with the traces of Yangcheng Lake.

Yangcheng Lake is located in the south of Jiangsu Province, five kilometers northeast of Suzhou City, adjacent to Kunshan City. Yangcheng Lake is rich in aquatic resources and is rich in more than 70 kinds of freshwater products. Whitefish, squid, water shrimp and hairy crabs are the six treasures in the lake. The Yangcheng Lake Qingshui hairy crab, known as the King of the Crab, is well-known. At home and abroad. This is my first time to come to Yangcheng Lake.

The water quality of Yangcheng Lake is clear and bright, which is most suitable for the growth of hairy crabs. It is no wonder that the quality will be so high.

The green back, the crab back is bright, refreshing, translucent, and after cooking, it is pure red and bright red.

Recalling the garden is a relatively beautiful place on the island. tells a lot about Suzhou about Yangcheng Lake. There are still a lot of fish specimens, in short, there is a Jiangnan speciality. The previous crab hunting is not like using a crab cage. If you put it down, you don't have to worry about it. It is good to collect it regularly. Previously it was necessary to manually fish, and mostly at night. So this kerosene lamp is crucial. Point the kerosene lamp, the crab will have a phototaxis and will climb over. The Earth Revelation is actually a place for everyone to understand the farming culture. There are some design "buildings" for visitors. But because there is an activity in a few days, it is still under construction, so we can see not much. In addition to bamboo clouds, look at the sound of bamboo listening to the wind.
