Suzhou is known not only for its classical gardens but also for its dawn redwoods | A one-day tour route for Suzhou's redwoods

With the weather getting colder, the ginkgo and maple leaves have fallen one after another, leaving the dawn redwoods standing tall for a while longer. Suzhou is famous for its Suzhou-style gardens, but if you want to see dawn redwoods, you don't have to squeeze into the gardens. Instead, you should visit the more spacious parks. Here is a recommended free route for viewing dawn redwoods. 👉Dushu Lake Ecological Park➡️Dushu Lake Church (Dushu Lake Park)➡️Shili Shantang ——- ✔️Dushu Lake Ecological Park: The ecological park is quite large and not crowded.

The greenway by the lake is perfect for walking, jogging, and dog walking. The dawn redwoods by the lake are even more beautiful, making it irresistible to stand under them and 📷take photos.
