Many times I had the desire to check inside this iconic Fangta tower but never had the chance. Finally, I made it. visiting Fangta Tower and taking beautiful pictures there would be an incredible experience. From the tower's intricate designs to the lush landscapes surrounding it, there are endless opportunities for stunning photography. The tower's rich history and cultural significance only add to the beauty of the experience, making it a must-visit destination for anyone who appreciates ancient architecture and natural beauty. It is big inside so, don't be fool by its outside look. By the way, there is a noodle shop outside the main entrance (right side). See the last picture. If you would like to try local noodles, this is the best in the city so far I found. There are many choices. Try `Dry Fish Noodles` (Baoyu Mian) which is served with handmade noodles with soup and dry fish. You can add egg fry and some toppings (ginger and coriander) Thank me later 😋😂 #fangtatower #changshu #suzhou #touristsattraction

The plum blossoms in the ancient buildings of Yenching Garden have recently reached their peak bloom, a must-see for flower lovers! As you step into the courtyard, the delicate fragrance of plum blossoms fills the air. At the back of the courtyard, three plum trees stand side by side. Among them, the Green Calyx Plum, as if touched by early spring, boasts tender green calyxes supporting pure white petals, exuding a fresh and elegant charm. Next to it, the wintersweet, with its golden blossoms covering the branches like twinkling stars, shines brightly under the winter sun. The three colors complement each other, resembling a meticulously crafted oil painting by nature, captivating the eye. The best time for photography is recommended before 4:30 pm, when the soft light perfectly outlines the delicate textures of the plum blossoms without being too harsh. Moreover, there are relatively fewer people during this time, allowing you to enjoy a peaceful moment with the flowers without the crowds. Light-colored clothing, such as a white sweater or a light blue dress, complements the plum blossoms and enhances the overall ambiance. On the east side of the courtyard, there is another, more vibrant red plum tree. Nestled among pavilions and towers, it echoes the gate of the Party History Museum, creating a classic and elegant scene. Every click of the shutter captures a stunning, ancient-style photo worthy of sharing on social media. Please note that the Party History Museum is closed on Mondays. Plan your visit accordingly. While the blossoms are at their peak, visit Yenching Garden for a date with the plum blossoms and capture this winter-limited romance in your photo album.

It’s the weekend and the sun is finally out! ! ! The sun was shining, and my friends and I met at Qinran Chinese Restaurant on the 3rd floor of Changshu Hilton Hotel to start a wonderful lunch experience on the weekend. As you step into the restaurant, soft lighting pours down, complementing the Chinese-style wooden tables and chairs and elegant decorative ornaments, creating a warm and elegant atmosphere. The koi decorations hanging from the ceiling add a strong cultural flavor to the restaurant, making people relax instantly. The restaurant service is very good, the order is taken quickly and recommendations are given. Soon, the dishes we ordered were served one after another. The first is the "Jiangnan Splendid Two Cold Dishes". The two cold dishes are presented very exquisitely, with harmonious color combination, which is pleasing to the eye. One of the dishes is fish, which has a moderate salty and fragrant taste and is full of flavor; the other dish is osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root, which has a light sweetness and gives you the feeling of the Jiangnan water village. Next, "Hydrangea stewed in clear soup to improve eyesight" was served. This soup is a feast for both the eyes and the taste buds. The soup is clear and transparent, just like amber. The "Hydrangea" in the soup is actually Wensi tofu made with fine knife skills and paired with delicious quail eggs. The soup is fresh and delicious, and the "Hydrangea" has a delicate and tender texture that melts in the mouth, bringing the ultimate enjoyment to the taste buds. At the same time, you can also feel the chef's superb cooking skills. The restaurant's signature dish, "Glass Crispy Pigeon", is definitely the star dish of this food tour. When the squab is served on the table, its shiny red skin sparkles with an alluring luster under the light, as if it were wrapped in a layer of crystal clear glass, making people salivate. Take a gentle bite, and with a "crunch" sound, the crispy skin instantly breaks between the teeth, making a crisp and pleasant sound, followed by the tender and juicy pigeon meat, the meat is tender and smooth, the meat aroma and the crispy skin are perfectly blended, the taste is rich and mellow. The juice of the pigeon meat overflows in the mouth, and every bite is full of satisfaction. It is worthy of being a signature delicacy and is endlessly memorable. The "Stir-fried Scallops with Asparagus and XO Sauce" is equally delicious. The fresh and crisp asparagus is green in color, as if carrying the breath of spring. Each asparagus is carefully processed and has a crisp and sweet taste. The scallops are the star of this dish, they are plump and have chewy texture. After being carefully fried in XO sauce, the scallops fully absorbed the deliciousness of the sauce. The rich seafood flavor and the unique flavor of XO sauce are intertwined with each other, creating rich layers. The surprise is the new dish "Black Truffle Pan-fried Abalone and Boneless Chicken". The unique aroma of black truffle hits our noses and instantly attracts our attention. The abalone is cooked just right, fresh and tender, and you can feel its firmness and deliciousness in every bite. The boneless chicken is fried and baked until the skin is golden and crispy, and the inside is tender and juicy. The chicken absorbs the aroma of black truffles, and the taste becomes richer and mellower. The mysterious aroma of black truffle, the deliciousness of abalone and the mellowness of chicken, the combination of these three ingredients brings a whole new taste enjoyment. The main course "Suzhou-style shrimp wontons" was served. The small wontons looked like ingots, neatly arranged in the bowl. The wonton skin is as thin as a cicada's wing, wrapped with plump shrimp filling. With a light bite, the delicious soup instantly bursts in your mouth, and the fresh and tender taste of the shrimp is intoxicating. Finally, the dessert "Pangzhi Ganlu with Mushroom Shortbread" has an attractive color of mango sago, a perfect blend of the sweetness of mango, the chewy texture of tapioca pearls, and the sour taste of grapefruit. It has a rich taste and is refreshing. The matching mushroom biscuits are even more unique, with a small and cute appearance. When you take a bite, you will find that the biscuits are crispy on the outside and soft and glutinous on the inside, exuding a light mushroom aroma, which adds a unique flavor to the dessert and is eye-catching. As the meal was coming to an end, the restaurant thoughtfully served seasonal fruits. It brought a refreshing finish to the entire meal. This weekend lunch at Qinran Chinese Restaurant on the 3rd floor of Hilton Changshu Hotel left us with a deep impression, both for the exquisite and delicious dishes and the warm and comfortable dining environment. Every dish here seems to be a work of art carefully created by the chef, which not only satisfies our taste buds, but also allows us to experience the perfect fusion of food and culture. This was an unforgettable dining experience and we look forward to visiting again next time to explore more delicious food.

Located in the core area of Changjiang Road, Hilton Changshu is a 246-meter skyscraper that has redefined the skyline of Changshu. I stayed in an executive river view room and had an immersive vacation experience in Jiangnan. >>> Aesthetic Stay <<< The panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows offer a view of Yushan Mountain and the Yangtze River. On sunny days, you can see boats sailing on the river, and on rainy days, you can see clouds and mist surrounding the city. The new Chinese-style guest room incorporates Suzhou embroidery elements into modern design. The combination of smart curtains and a capsule coffee machine shows the attention to detail of a luxury hotel. I especially liked the double-sided mirror design in the bathroom, which means I no longer have to worry about backlighting when putting on makeup. >>> A Feast for the Taste Buds <<< The executive lounge on the 48th floor is a hidden gem. The "Yushan Shanghu" cocktail served during the evening cocktail hour is a delight for the taste buds. The all-day dining restaurant offers a wide variety of dishes, and the eel noodles with freshly fried toppings are a must-try. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the lobby bar offers an afternoon tea themed on "Six Records of a Floating Life," with lotus pastries and Kunqu opera elements that showcase the elegance of Jiangnan. >>> Fitness Secret <<< The sky heated pool is a unique experience, with a 25-meter mirror lane that reflects the clouds and sky, making you feel like you're flying through the sky. The smart lockers in the changing room use facial recognition, and the spa center's unique "Yushan Tea Aroma SPA" uses Biluochun essential oil to awaken your skin's vitality. >>> Surrounding Exploration <<< The hotel's exclusive shuttle bus takes you to Shajiabang Scenic Area in 15 minutes, and the concierge will give you a "Yushan Cultural Hand-drawn Map" on your way back. The rooftop helipad is worth mentioning, as business guests can fly directly to Shanghai Hongqiao, making it a truly efficient "air corridor." Tips: • There is a Pingtan performance in the lobby on weekends, so it's best to reserve a seat in advance. • Executive rooms offer free laundry (3 pieces/day). • The underground garage is equipped with Tesla charging piles. When the charm of Suzhou meets cloud technology, this new landmark in the Yangtze River Delta perfectly balances business and leisure. Whether you're a foodie who wants to enjoy Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs by the window or a business traveler who wants to travel efficiently, you'll find your own Jiangnan story here.

New Year's Day Day Trips Around Shanghai I did some research and found that Jiangsu is the best choice. Highways are free during the New Year holiday. Highways around Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai are not congested and are very empty. Many attractions in Jiangsu offer 50% off tickets (50% off for adults, 50% off for seniors). My mom has been wanting to go to Shajiabang. The original ticket price was CNY 70, I paid CNY 35, and my mom paid CNY 35 for a senior ticket. There are many large parking lots at the entrance of Shajiabang. CNY 5 per car for 5 hours. The tour of Shajiabang takes about 4 hours. Then we drove to Fangta. This attraction is actually very close to Yushan. But we left late, so we didn't have time to go. We just had a meal at the nearby Impression City. Parking at the entrance of Fangta is CNY 7 per car for 5 hours. Fangta is also nice and quite large. We took a stroll around Impression City and had a meal. Parking at Impression City is CNY 3 per hour. After dinner, it was already past 6 pm, so we drove back to Shanghai. Everything was perfect, hehe 😁😁😁

Suzhou's 34th Garden: Yanyuan Garden Yanyuan Garden was originally the private estate of the magistrate of Huangmei County in the early Qianlong period of the Qing dynasty. It was later acquired by Jiang Yuanshu, the governor of Taiwan, and was initially named Jiang Garden. In the 45th year of the Qianlong period, Jiang Yuanshu encountered danger while crossing the sea. After returning to his hometown, he built this garden and enshrined the sea goddess Tianfei. In the 9th year of the Daoguang period, Jiang's nephew purchased and renovated the garden, and built a yellow stone rockery named Yangu, which gave Yanyuan Garden its name. Yanyuan Garden is a typical Jiangnan classical cultural garden and a national key cultural relic protection unit.
