[2025 Changshu Attraction] Travel Guide for Fang Tower Park (Updated Mar)

🌸 For spring travel, you may have only heard about going to Suzhou Gardens to check in and take photos However, I want to say that this place is definitely not inferior to popular gardens such as the Net Master Garden and the Humble Administrator's Garden. Flower viewing place: Changshu Fangta Garden Flowers: Magnolia 🌸 Recently, the magnolia flowers in Changshu Fangta Garden have been in full bloom, which is simply a visual feast in spring! As soon as you enter the garden, you will see magnolia flowers everywhere, white as snow, pink as clouds, as if you are in a fairyland. Every flower blooms so vigorously, as if waving to you, inviting you to feel the beauty of spring together. 🚗 Transportation tips: Starting from Shanghai, it takes about 1.5 hours to drive to Changshu Fangta Garden. If you choose public transportation, you can take the high-speed rail to Changshu Station and then take a taxi for about 20 minutes to arrive. Parking outside the park is also very convenient, suitable for friends who travel by car. 📸 Photo check-in points: In front of the square tower: the combination of the ancient tower and magnolia, the collision of classic and modern, the photos taken are super impressive! 🌸 You can also take a break in the teahouse in the park, taste a cup of spring tea, and feel the breath of spring. 💡 Tips: The best time to enjoy the flowers is from 8 to 10 a.m., when the light is soft, there are few people and the scenery is beautiful. Dressing suggestion: Light-colored clothes go better with magnolia flowers! Remember to bring sunscreen and a hat, the spring sun is very warm! This spring, why not come to Changshu Fangta Garden and have a romantic encounter with magnolia flowers! 🌸

In the dream of Jiangnan, there is always an ink painting of Changshu. "Seven streams all flow into the sea, and ten miles of green mountains half enter the city." This graceful little town is like a melodious piano piece, humming softly in the long river of time. The new landmark Chongyan specialty restaurant and bar that became popular in February is officially open for business! The early spring of the Snake year brings warm weather, making it a wonderful time to visit Changshu to enjoy the scenery. The colorful Yushan Mountain is fascinating, and strolling through the mountains and forests, you will see winding paths, towering ancient trees, and dappled sunlight. In the Xingfu Temple, Buddhist chants can be heard everywhere, pilgrims come in an endless stream, and koi fish swim in the pond, evoking the laughter of young people sitting by the pond. Shang Lake has clear, sparkling water and is surrounded by mountains. The lake and mountains complement each other, and the scenery is very charming, moving and beautiful. A small boat cuts through the lake and travels through the water forest. The red maples and metasequoia trees on both sides interweave to create a picturesque picture that is moving. In the afternoon, the golden ginkgo trees, fiery red maple leaves and the towering square tower in Fangta Park make people linger and stop here. At dusk, we stayed in Qinhu Town, living by the water, at the Changshu Longteng Hilton Hotel on the shore of Qinhu Lake in Changshu, and went to the Chongyan Specialty Restaurant and Bar, which opened in February, for a big meal. It was a happy early spring feast. Chongyan Specialty Restaurant and Bar looks like a modern luxury cruise ship moored on the north bank of Qin Lake. Its streamlined appearance and transparent structure on all four sides not only incorporate the charm of mountains and rivers, but also embodies the beautiful vision of "smooth sailing". The restaurant cleverly uses large floor-to-ceiling windows to provide a very broad view, vividly demonstrating the building's broad-mindedness and infinite inclusiveness of the city and nature, and a place to enjoy delicious food and the sunset. The beautiful scenery of Yushan Mountain and Qin Lake is unobstructed and makes people feel relaxed and happy. Chongyan specialty restaurant and bar has a unique spatial shape, which resembles a flying saucer perched at an airport, full of a sense of technology and the future. It has become a dreamland in the Jiangnan clouds for this spring outing, where you can enjoy the city street view and Qin Lake scenery. The name of the restaurant Ember actually literally means "embers, afterglow, and residual heat". Here, the quick cooking method is abandoned, and the steak is carefully grilled over a slow fire to retain the original flavor and tenderness of the steak. At the same time, Chongyan Restaurant has a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. You can wear casual clothes and come here to enjoy delicious food with your family, friends and team. The chef cooks in the open kitchen, which is surrounded by 270-degree transparent glass and overlooks the night view of the city, which contrasts with the slender waist of Changshu TV Tower. Standing on the top of Changshu Qinhu Lake, you can enjoy the tranquility of Qinhu Lake. The night scene of Qin Lake outside the window is as quiet as still water. Inside Chongyan, there are slightly tipsy wine glasses and exquisite food. Here, people can chat about various aspects of life and encounter the beauty of each other inadvertently. Super popular pre-meal bread The recipe is the classic Italian bread recipe, which goes through several very important steps: fermentation and baking. The three types of breads available before meals are ciabatta, crispy strips, and thin crackers. Ciabatta - Ciabatta, shaped like slippers, is made from regular wheat flour, water, salt, extra virgin olive oil and brewer's yeast and has a crunchy crust and a soft interior. As for the puff pastry, it is made of puff pastry and some Parmesan cheese is put in it. There are sesame seeds in the crispy snacks, which make them fragrant and crispy, so the taste is completely different and complements each other. Finally, it is baked at 180° in the oven to produce a very fluffy texture, crispy on the outside and loose on the inside. Dipped in olive oil and balsamic vinegar, it has a very delicate, salty taste. Prologue Start on Table Cold   Marinated Herbs Fresh Salmon with Sliced ​​Fennel, Endive, Mango, Olives Served with Orange Passion Fruits Dressing The salmon meat is very firm and chewy, with a unique seafood flavor. Mixed Grilled Roots Vegetable Mixed with Berries Salad withBurrata Cheese   JAMON SERRANO Sliced, Smoked Round Ham Sliced, Fried Squids with Tartar Sauce, Sliced ​​Salami Egg Frittata Served with Honey Melon   Soup   Classic Style Bouillabaisse   Use silver cod as the base soup, and then add the soup from various seafood. The scallops are specially selected from Canada, where the waters are clear and clean without pollution, so Canadian scallops are large, juicy, very plump and taste very good. Black tiger shrimp, the premium black tiger shrimp is marinated and grilled, with a unique aroma, and the meat is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Main   Pasta Spaghetti with Bacon Mushroom Anchovies Pink Sauce   Australia Rib-eye Steak with Van Tomato, Rosemary Black Pepper Sauce The chef team marinated the beef with olive oil and special spices, such as a little balsamic and thyme, to make the beef more flavorful. There are two ways to cook mature steak, one is grilling and the other is braising. The flavor of braising is more unique because it has the Maillard reaction, which gives the steak a fragrant feeling and a charred texture, while the meat is tender and juicy. Dry aging is stored in a refrigerator at 4-5 degrees Celsius, in a special dry aging refrigerator. In the mobile kitchen, you can see the steak being fried. Seafood Platter Grilled Garlic Flavor Oyster, Grilled Cod Fish Fillet With Grilled Asparagus The cod is marinated and then seasoned. Various spices are used, such as tiaocao, and various dry spices, sea salt and sugar. After being marinated for a day, the seafood is shaped. The grilled seafood is fresh and tasty. Even the bell peppers inside are delicious and juicy. The chef uses top-grade bell peppers, which are also local ingredients. The asparagus is also a local ingredient, so it tastes very fresh and is full of the characteristics of local ingredients. Dessert Sweet   Panna Cotta Raspberry Gel with Mango Passion Fruit Burst Beads   Panna Cotta is as smooth as silk and melts in your mouth, with a hint of vanilla in the rich milky aroma. The texture is soft and dense, between pudding and mousse. It is cool and refreshing after refrigeration. It is mainly composed of cream and milk, sweet but not greasy, with a distinct sweet and sour fruity aroma. The slight astringency of raspberries is balanced by sugar, which is refreshing and relieves greasiness. Passion Fruit & Mango Popping Boba, with a thin outer shell wrapped in tropical juice, bursts the moment you break it, releasing a rich fruity aroma. The collision of the sourness of passion fruit and the sweetness of mango, the tropical flavor instantly activates the taste buds and adds interest to the dessert. A trio of flavors: the smoothness of the milk jelly, the elasticity of the jelly, and the bursting feeling of the popping beads, layer by layer. The taste is balanced between sweet and sour, with the rich milky aroma complementing the fresh fruity acid.

During the Lantern Festival, I took my parents to join in the fun. There were so many people at Yuandian Shiqu Fangta Lantern Festival Wonderful Night. Fangta Light and Shadow Show, Yuandian Market, visit the Lantern Festival and watch performances. There is no entrance fee to Fangta Garden, the festive atmosphere is strong, and the public participation is extremely high. Then we walked along Tongjiang Road to Yushan Park to watch a drone show. More than a thousand drones changed their shapes, which made my parents exclaim: high-tech! Spend time with your family, wishing everyone a happy Lantern Festival~

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 😁😁😁

The square tower in the park, as a landmark building in Changshu, is like an ancient wise man, quietly telling stories of the past. It combines the architectural style of the Song Dynasty with the exquisite charm of Jiangnan gardens.

The garden layout is staggered, with pavilions, rockeries, and ponds complementing each other.

Walking under the tower, surrounded by lush trees and blooming flowers, the occasional sound of birds adds to the tranquility and serenity. · 📜Cultural Relics: The park not only has beautiful natural scenery but also preserves many precious cultural relics.

Suzhou people are really tight-lipped, they keep such a beautiful place hidden...

In late November, I embarked on my second solo "escape" plan, this time to Changshu, Jiangsu Province. I had long heard of Changshu, and although it is not as famous as Qixia Mountain in Nanjing or Tianping Mountain in Suzhou, it is far from the hustle and bustle of the city and is rarely visited by tourists. It is a great place to take a leisurely stroll. This time, I mainly went to Yushan, Fangta Park, and Zengzhao Park to see the maple leaves. Yushan requires a CNY 30 ticket (CNY 28 if purchased online in advance). You can take the "You 1" bus to the top of Yushan, "Jianmen", for CNY 1. If you have the time and energy, I recommend climbing up slowly, as the scenery along the way is really beautiful this time of year! Fangta Park and Zengzhao Park are on the same road and are free to enter. As landmarks of Changshu, these two places are known for their exquisite beauty, with a view at every step. Now is the perfect time to visit, as the ginkgo and red maple trees in the park complement each other beautifully! It's hard to leave! I also went to Shanghu Lake and took a bamboo raft to see the amazing Taxodium distichum forest. Unfortunately, the temperature had not yet dropped completely on the day I went, and only a small part of the trees had turned red. I can only look forward to seeing them next time. However, friends who go in the next few days should be able to see the "red beauty". I later went to a noodle shop in Changshu that you must try: Han Hui Noodle Shop. They have three signature noodles: mushroom oil noodles, eel paste noodles, and pork chop noodles. This time, I tried the mushroom oil noodles and pork chop noodles, and they lived up to their reputation. The mushroom oil noodles were fresh and delicious, with a rich broth; the pork chop noodles were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside; and when soaked in the broth, the delicious broth wrapped in the aroma of the meat was mouthwatering. However, perhaps because of their popularity, the dining environment is very average, and it is difficult to find a seat during holidays. It is worth noting that they only serve breakfast and lunch, and are not open in the evening. I also met two cute and intelligent cats at the top of Yushan and in Fangta Park for two consecutive days, which added a lot of fun to my trip.

Just returned from Changshu, a small Jiangnan town, and I can't stop thinking about it. The slow pace of life in the small town is very appealing. The natural rural scenery is very beautiful, and the town has a rich history and culture. The gardens here are especially beautiful, with both scenery and stories. And the high-speed train takes you directly there, making it perfect for weekends and short holidays. 🌟Two-day itinerary in Changshu: Day 1⃣️Fangta Park ➡️Fengjing of Yushan ➡️Xicheng Tower Day 2⃣️Shanghu Lake for a day, then return ✅Fangta Park 🎫Free Even before late autumn, the autumn colors of Fangta Park are already very intoxicating. Combined with the garden landscape and the thousand-year-old Song Dynasty square tower, it is as beautiful as a painting. There is also a courtyard where you can drink tea, surrounded by the increasingly autumnal maple and ginkgo leaves, with dappled light and shadow, very immersive. ✅Fengjing of Yushan 🎫Free If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that autumn in a Jiangnan town could be so charming. Yushan is full of scenery, especially Fengjing, with maple leaves everywhere, pavilions, small bridges, and flowing water. Walking among them is extremely comfortable. ✅Xicheng Tower 🎫There is a chrysanthemum exhibition in autumn, perfect for taking photos. The Xicheng Tower has a history of over 1,500 years. Climbing along the city wall, the scenery along the way is charming, and the view of the Jiangnan town from above is amazing. ✅Shanghu Lake I thought West Lake was beautiful until I went to Shanghu Lake in Changshu. The beautiful mountains and waters combined with the garden landscape are elegant and full of wildness. Whether walking on the long bridge over the lake or the small paths in the forest, or boating on the lake, taking a bamboo raft through the water forest, or taking a hot air balloon to overlook Shanghu Lake from above... it's very relaxing. 📝Travel tips: 1⃣️Changshu has a high-speed train, about 1 hour from Shanghai, 1.5 hours by car. 2⃣️Remember to buy a Changshu travel passport, with 8 themed travel routes and multiple stamps. Collect enough stamps to enjoy benefits. 3⃣️The autumn colors in Changshu are very charming, from mid-November to early December, the whole city is covered in golden armor. 4⃣️Changshu has many delicious snacks, such as hairy crabs, steamed dishes, beggar's chicken, fried noodles, cakes, duck blood glutinous rice, fermented rice cakes, etc., all not to be missed.

Ah ah ah!!! It's absolutely amazing!!! I want to recommend Fangta Garden in Changshu a thousand and ten thousand times! Changshu's cultural tourism is too low-key 😭 Such a beautiful and free-to-enter niche garden! Why don't they promote it 😱😱😱! · Beautiful like a painting all year round 😍😍 Not only is it photogenic from every angle! But it also occasionally hosts various events! · Fangta Garden in late summer and early autumn The green trees provide shade, and the lush greenery is refreshing! But I am more looking forward to Fangta Garden in late autumn, That elegant maple tree will transform and put on a red robe, Becoming a dazzling autumn scenery. ·

Changshu's 4A-level scenic spot, the Fantagu Historic Site, is a classical garden in the style of the Tang and Song dynasties, and is quite famous. The iconic building of Fantayuan, the Chongjiao Xingfu Temple Pagoda, stands tall. The entire garden is vast, and the Wenhua Hall, located near the northwest corner, deep within the garden, is a place that particularly captures my heart. ♨️ Highlight Recommendation Wenhua Hall has now been transformed into a tea house by the water, named 'Shiye', offering tea master services where you can brew tea and enjoy the view. Away from the crowds, it's quiet and there are few people The outdoor viewing spots are excellent, with the ancient and towering Fantayuan Pagoda right above, and clear water flowing in front and behind. The indoor seating also offers privacy, with curtains dividing the areas, creating an elegant and tranquil environment. 💢 Specific Location On both sides of Wenhua Hall are the corridors of Xiaofeihong, and to the west is the Yueshuxianfang. It's near a large pond with unfolding lotus leaves, making for an excellent location. After finishing tea, you can visit the nearby Stele Museum to explore the culture. ⭕ Specific Prices There is a single-person tea drink set for 59 yuan There are also cold-brewed tea fruit drinks and more, offering great value for money. You can also buy canned tea on the spot and have it brewed by the tea master right there.

Chongjiao Xingfu Temple Pagoda, originally named Chongjiao Treasure Pagoda, is commonly known as Fangta. It was built in the fourth year of Jianyan during the Southern Song Dynasty (1130), located at No. 7-0, Tahou Street, Changshu City, Suzhou, Jiangsu Province. Chongjiao Xingfu Temple Pagoda is a nine-story, four-sided wooden eaves tower-style brick pagoda with a helmet-shaped top, with a total height of 67.58 meters. The wooden components and the style of the pagoda body still retain the architectural style and construction characteristics of the Song Dynasty. Chongjiao Xingfu Temple Pagoda provides a transitional example for revealing the evolution and development of the ancient building's corner beam structure in the Jiangnan region, which is a process from a gentle upward curvature gradually developing into a high and towering one. On May 25, 2006, Chongjiao Xingfu Temple Pagoda was announced by the State Council of the People's Republic of China as the sixth batch of National Key Cultural Relics Protection Units. Fangta Garden

Changshu has Zeng Zhao Garden, Yan Garden, and Fang Tower Garden, all of which are typical scenic views of gardens in the south of the Yangtze River. Although they are all gardens, there are some differences, and I think the most magnificent is Fang Tower Garden. Especially its pavilions, terraces, and corridors are winding and varied. Fang Tower Garden is a classical garden newly built on the site of ancient relics from the Song Dynasty, named after the square tower in the garden. The full name of the square tower is "Chongjiao Xingfu Temple Tower", which has four sides and nine levels, and is a symbolic building of the ancient city of Changshu, built during the Southern Song Dynasty. The square tower, along with the ancient well and ginkgo from the Song Dynasty, are known as the 'Three Treasures in the Garden'. The architecture of Fang Tower Garden is all in imitation of the Song Dynasty style, which is not only splendid and magnificent, with the charm of a royal garden, but also adopts the winding and varied techniques of gardens in the south of the Yangtze River, with the complementing features of curved bridges, pavilions, verandas, water pavilions, rocks, and plants.

The cherry blossoms along the Changshu moat generally reach their peak bloom from late March to early April. Clusters of cherry blossoms set against small bridges, flowing water, white walls with black tiles, and ancient city towers create a picturesque scene. It is one of the must-visit 'ritualistic' cherry blossom viewing spots for many Changshu residents in spring. On March 25, 2024, the Moat Cherry Blossom Festival will open, offering not only the chance to appreciate the cherry blossoms but also a variety of exciting activities such as quiz games with prizes, Hanfu performances, and traditional Chinese makeup sessions.

Changshu Fangta Garden The pure white magnolias of Fangta Garden set against the towering ancient pagoda create an ancient charm, making it exceptionally dignified and elegant. The magnolias here bloom the earliest and most luxuriantly. There are several magnolia trees in Fangta Garden, and the most beautiful one is located in a quaint little courtyard, with large blossoms of white magnolias layered upon each other, blooming vibrantly. The tall trees with their branches spread out, the flowers piling up like snow, and the jade trees shimmering like crystal, all set against the backdrop of the ancient Yu City Pagoda, adding a gentle and tranquil beauty to its simplicity and solemnity. The drooping branches of the flowers complement the pink walls and black tiles, full of charm. As the spring breeze blows, petals of magnolia flowers fall with the wind, creating a truly romantic and enchanting sight. Address: No. 28 Huan Cheng East Road, Changshu City, Fangta Garden

It was raining in the afternoon, and the outdoor activities were not going to happen. Don't worry, I have already arranged the "Tianbei skills". I suddenly wondered what was "Tuobei skills"? When I arrived at the Changshu Fangta Garden, under the step-by-step operation of the staff, I seemed to understand what I was going to do next. Take a monumental skill is a very traditional handicraft. It is first applied on the surface of the monument with rice paper, and it is flattened and dried with a brush. Then use the toppings and ink to slowly beat the stone tablets, and gradually the patterns and words will be revealed. I am going to start, first rub a few on my face, haha. "Tuobei skills" can not be too heavy every time, the process of ink-printing printing needs 5 to 6 times, each time interval, it takes half a day to do it, let me quiet, I am making "prajna paramita" More than heart. I won't tell you, you are what I did, it seems to be ok, it took a long time. [Travel Tips]: "Television Skills" needs to make an appointment one day in advance, and then the finished products that you can do can be taken away. [Address]: Huancheng East Road is close to Xinyan Bridge [cost]: 20 yuan
