Taicang Ultimate Travel Guide | No Tourist Traps

🌸 Shaxi Ancient Town = Free The ancient town is quite large and not overly commercialized. It's very photogenic when the weather is nice. Snack recommendations: grass head cake, shredded radish cake, meat floss green dumpling, Taicang meat floss (specialty). Just wandering around, you can eat your fill. 🌼 Taicang Museum and Art Gallery are free, no reservation needed. The two are close to each other, so you can check them both out together. Remember that the exhibition halls close at 16:30, so plan your time well, or you might miss out! The museum has a large ancient ship, with exhibits on all four floors, which you can visit for quite a while. The art gallery is also very photogenic outside, with its clean white architecture. 🔥 Haiyun Dike Style Street = Free It looks deserted during the day with few people around, but at night when the lights are all on, it's beautiful. Inside, there are European-style buildings and graffiti, great for taking photos, a bit like a cultural and creative district. There are many restaurants for dining, and it's quite nice to enjoy a meal with the lake breeze! It's recommended to come at night when the lights are beautiful~ 🌟 Nanyuan = Free A beautiful garden with lots of flowers and plants. It's said that it used to require an entrance fee, a 3A tourist spot, not much different from the popular gardens in Suzhou, and definitely worth a visit. 💫 Taro Ice Cream · Taicang's First 10r/bowl Put this first, no need to say anything else, just go for it! Really delicious! I bought coconut ice with lots of toppings! There's watermelon, taro, coconut ice, coconut slices, crushed peanuts, taro balls~ 🔥 Egg Meat Burger 6r/each, consistently delicious Plenty of meat filling, brushed with a layer of sauce on the outside, one word! Yummy!!!! ☁️ Northeastern Grilled Cold Noodles 8r/serving The owner is from the Northeast, very enthusiastic~ The grilled cold noodles are sour, sweet, and fragrant~ You can add fire turkey noodles, I saw many people eating it that way! They also have cabbage rice, which looks really tasty, and the portions are huge!
