2️⃣ Fushui Villa: A typical Suzhou-style garden and a gem of private garden architecture in the Jiangnan area. It was the residence of the late Ming and early Qing literati Qian Qianyi and the talented lady Liu Rushi. Walking here, you can feel their legendary love story.

Changshu Wu A Scenic Area, tickets are not cheap, the advantage is that there are not many people, and the relative freedom is very high. The scenic area can cruise or drive a battery car by itself. It takes about one to two hours to walk around, which is very suitable for emptying inside.

Mature scenic spots, different seasons have different scenery. Looking at peony, it has to be earlier, and there is basically no flower in mid-to-late April. You can come back at the end of November, when the mesquirrel is the best. It is also a good choice to see the lotus in July and August.
The air is really good and comfortable, because it is the May Day holiday, there are still a lot of people, the bamboo raft I want to experience most needs to queue up, but I am very happy to walk around.
The area of Shanghu Scenic Area is too large, and I can’t finish swimming for a long time. I picked a few points to play. I went to the water forest for more than an hour. The scenery was good. I took a battery car for 20 minutes.
The green scenery is good, especially the scenery near the lake is very beautiful, the green lake water is shining under the sun, and the surrounding green trees are shaded and quiet atmosphere, as if time has stopped, it is so beautiful. But the 80 yuan ticket is a bit expensive, I hope to reduce the ticket, so that people can enjoy the rich resources that nature gives to mankind.
Changshu 5A Scenic Area, convenient transportation, not very far from Changshu City, taxi about 20 yuan, ticket price 78 yuan, Ctrip is very convenient, the scenic spot is quite large, you can take a battery car, you can row, etc., the air is fresh, the whole scenic spot is about 2 hours of play time!
