A trip down the ancient China

Lost in the tranquil beauty of the Humble Administrator's Garden. A masterpiece of classic garden design, with timeless pavilions and picturesque bridges. This is one of the biggest of the four gardens in Suzhou and it is conveniently located near Pingjjang Street. Plus it creates the perfect backdrop to capture your hanfu moments. And we weren’t the only who think so, as you see many who are dressed up in hanfu too #thingstodo

The route recommended by Suzhou Culture and Tourism is not crowded even on holidays, making it very suitable for taking children out for a walk

🚶‍♀️Start from Gunxiufang behind Shiquan Street Pass by Nanyuan Hotel, Suzhou No.10 Middle School, Daichengqiao Xiatang, Wuyachang, Baibu Street, Shengjia Dai, Wangxing Bridge Finally arrive at Shuangta and Dinghui Temple 💡Although this route is not crowded with tourists, it is by no means niche. It is a representative Suzhou scenery - parallel waterways and adjacent river streets in a double checkerboard layout, and its location is right in the city center, parking is also convenient! Tips: ✅Introduction of the attractions, there are codes on the buildings along the way, you can scan and read them yourself, Suzhou Culture and Tourism is really quite advanced in this aspect We took one of the officially recommended routes called 'Xiaoxiang Youyou', each route has about half an hour of audio commentary ✅If you drive, it is recommended to park at Nanyuan Hotel, which has a huge parking lot ✅Shuangta Market is the only internet-famous spot, it is indeed crowded but it does not hinder taking pictures, it is not recommended to sit down for a meal, especially if you are with children, it is very inconvenient, you can consider takeout. ✅The best view of Shuangta is on the third floor of Suzhou City Tourist Information Center Located at 276 Phoenix Street Inside there are coffee shops, postcards and stamp collections, etc., the second floor is a bookstore What's amazing is that across the street, Pingjiang Road is the kind of popular tourist area where it's so crowded that you can't get in, but here it's very quiet and it seems like not many people know about it We took the pictures on New Year's Day 1.1, there really aren't many people in the picture🤦

The 96th garden in Suzhou.

The 96th garden in Suzhou: The Garden of the Prince Zhong's Mansion In 1860, Li Xiucheng, the Prince Zhong, led the Taiping Army to capture Suzhou, expanded the mansion, and built official offices, houses, and gardens. In 1863, Suzhou fell, and the mansion was used as the office of the Jiangsu Governor of the Qing Dynasty. The courtyard of the Prince Zhong's Mansion is deep and quiet, with ancient trees towering to the sky. There is a wisteria planted by Wen Zhengming 400 years ago.

【Suzhou W】Marvelous Suite

【Suzhou W】Marvelous Suite

The Marvelous Suite at Suzhou W Hotel faces Jinji Lake, the opposite Niccolo Hotel, and the Ferris wheel under construction, offering a great view. Suzhou W is the only W hotel in China that I haven't checked in yet, mainly due to the inconvenience caused by the lack of an airport in Suzhou. I left home at 7 AM and arrived in Suzhou at 2 PM. During the weekend at the end of the summer vacation, there were too many guests, and people were queuing for breakfast in the elevator lobby. I paid the difference to upgrade to the Marvelous Suite. Due to the excellent view and large room area, other aspects seemed not to be an issue. The green TV wall and moon lamp are standard features of W, and the green acrylic is well-treated without a cheap feel. However, many lacquered items are heavily worn, with many scratches and bumps. Three suite selection strategies: 12 Cool Corner Suite/Studio Suite: A corner suite with a missing corner, the living room faces the city view, and the bedroom faces Jinji Lake, but there are missing corners and obstructions. Both have the same layout; below the 24th floor is the Cool Corner Suite, and above the 25th floor is the Studio Suite. 07 Fantastic Suite: A corner suite, the living room faces the Gate of Suzhou, and you can see the fountain; the bedroom faces Jinji Lake, which is a very good suite. Non-weekend members have a better chance of being upgraded to this room type. 10 Marvelous Suite: Only 5 rooms, on the top five floors, equivalent to two lake-view rooms combined, but the area is a few square meters smaller than the Fantastic Suite. Since it is not a corner suite, both the living room and bedroom face Jinji Lake directly, making it the best view room type. The entrance has a round dining table, and the walk-in closet/bathroom layout is also very good. Only suite vouchers can upgrade to this room type. W does not have an executive lounge, but members can enjoy happy hour in a designated area of the lobby bar, with drinks and some snacks. The Chinese restaurant Su Yan on the 34th floor is also very good, with both a great view and excellent dishes. Overall, I think W is more comfortable to stay in than Niccolo, with less crowded public areas, a more suitable height for lake views, and complete facilities. However, the need to queue for breakfast due to the large number of rooms is a downside.
