Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Trumpet creeper belongs to the Bignoniaceae family. It is a climbing vine plant of the genus Trumpet creeper. It is famous for its bright colors and strong vitality. It blooms from June to August and is often hailed as the "king of summer flowers". In addition, trumpet creeper is also a traditional Chinese medicinal material, which has the functions of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, cooling blood and dispelling wind. In Suzhou's classical gardens, the bright trumpet creeper grows on old trees or stone walls, forming an ancient momentum that covers the entire summer. It is one of the flowers with the longest flowering period in summer.

Suzhou - Classic Must-See Guide

Suzhou - Classic Must-See Guide

There is no bad time to visit Suzhou. If you love Chinese aesthetics, you must visit Suzhou❗️ Recommended accommodation: Guanqian Street 🌟🌟🌟 Day 1🚶: - Visit the gardens during the day - Humble Administrator's Garden + Lion Grove Garden (next to each other) Suzhou gardens are all similar, so we recommend visiting just one representative garden (listening to the stories behind the scenery is better than just looking at it, so we recommend hiring a guide to explain the garden to you. They are very professional, usually locals, and won't try to trick you. They are very good at what they do👍). - You can visit Pingjiang Road in the evening, which has everything you need for eating, drinking, and entertainment. Listen to "Pingtan" on Guanqian Street and experience the "soft Wu dialect". We recommend "Pipa Language" on Guanqian Street - Mr. Wu 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Day 2🚶: - Tiger Hill Pagoda, which is far from the city center But worth a visit The teahouse in the park is nice, and you can spend a whole day there - You can have "Su cuisine" for dinner Day 3🚶: - Pray at Hanshan Temple (Image 2) For the line "Outside the Gusu City, Hanshan Temple, the midnight bell rings to the guest boat" You can take a night walk around Jinji Lake and check in at one of the "Jiangsu-Zhejiang-Shanghai Trio" at night. Oh, and you must visit Suzhou Museum! Make a reservation in advance, usually a week in advance. It is difficult to make a reservation during holidays‼️ Suzhou is known as "Su Daqiang", a city you will want to visit again❗️

Suzhou's Seven-mile Shantang

Suzhou's Seven-mile Shantang

💫The "Number One Street in Suzhou" is the Seven-mile Shantang Street, which has a history of over 1000 years. There are indeed many ancient town streets in Suzhou~ 💫Shantang Street is very characteristic of Suzhou, with typical small bridges, flowing water and households. It's like a picture of a dreamy water town, very beautiful~ 💫There is a special tranquility here during the day. Don't come on holidays, you can stroll around quietly, stand on the bridge and take pictures of these old houses, forming a unique landscape with the lake~ 💫This place is actually very suitable for wearing cheongsams, those who like to take photos will get great shots~ 💫The beauty of the south of the Yangtze River is not seasonal, the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River depends on your mood. If you are poetic, it will be poetic, if you are melancholic, it will be misty and rainy...

【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.
