Qiyuan Garden

The small and fine eye view, the entrance is very open, there is a large lotus pond, is catching up with the lotus blossom, very beautiful. When I walked into the house, I felt very much. When I came out, I was catching up with the sunset, it was so beautiful.

In general, Qiyuan is a garden with unique historical and cultural value and artistic value, and is one of the main attractions in Taihu Scenic Area.

On weekends, I will drive from Shanghai to the first stop of Suzhou Dongshan. I will buy tickets on Trip.com one day in advance. It is very convenient to scan the code directly to enter the park. We arrived at about 9 o'clock, there were not many parking spaces in the park and they were all full, so we drove forward for about 5 minutes and then walked for 20 minutes to reach Qiyuan. There are not many tourists in the park. The garden is built next to the Taihu Lake basin. There are courtyards, pavilions, Taihu stones inside, especially the Royal Pier embedded in the blue waves of Taihu Lake. It is very easy to walk and play, and there are few people and beautiful check-in points.

Very good garden, there is a small and exquisite change of scenery in Suzhou gardens, and there is a quiet atmosphere of Taihu Lake. Not big, 1～ 2 hours to play. The parking lot at the entrance is very small, you need to park a few hundred meters ahead, there are guidelines.

The cold wave weather is actually not suitable for Qiyuan, the lake is really cold. But the scenery is really good, there are different scenery around the corner, and the resorts of the family of too tasteful people are indeed extraordinary.
