They express the idea of the connection between the past and the present, their architecture has both ancient Chinese and modern features. There are ancient Chinese things here, but there are also exhibitions of modern art. You can also walk around the territory of the museum, it is like a big garden, here you can see different trees, for example, bamboo. There is water and bridges, you can see big red fish. It is also interesting that the museum changes at different times of the day, there is a play of light and shadow. #urbanexplorer#awesomepic

When it comes to museums, Suzhou is definitely one of the most unique. It was one of the earlier museums I visited. When I first saw it, I was amazed that a museum could be made like this, it was really stunning! ✅ Three Main Exhibition Halls ◾ The Wuzhong Pagoda is divided into the Pagoda Radiating Auspicious Light and the Treasures of Tiger Hill. It displays precious cultural relics found from the Ruiguang Pagoda during the Eastern Wu period. ◾ The Treasures of Wu are divided into Morning Light Faintly Shining, Contending Lords of Spring and Autumn, Brocade of the South of the Yangtze, and Rhythms of the Metropolis. It showcases archaeological artifacts unearthed in Suzhou. ◾ The Elegance of Wuzhong is divided into Study Long Objects, Treasures of Pottery Governance, Ingenious Strategies for Carving Jade, Divine Work of Carving, Elegant Study Room Affairs, Casual Pastimes, Ink Play in the Thatched Cottage, and Brocade of Floating Life. It displays cultural relics collected and appreciated in Suzhou during the Ming and Qing dynasties. ✅ Treasures of the Museum 1️⃣ The Pearl Relic Stupa A container for offering relics, connected with pearls and other treasures, the stupa is 1.22 meters tall and made entirely of nanmu wood. Especially the dragon, which is made of over 36,000 pearls strung together with silver thread. 2️⃣ Ginkgo Wood Painted Statues of the Four Heavenly Kings The inner wall is inscribed with the words 'Recorded on April 18th of the Dazhong Xiangfu sixth year', and the outer wall of the wooden case is painted with images of the Four Heavenly Kings, bearing the artistic legacy of Wu Daozi, the painting sage of the Tang Dynasty. 3️⃣ Relic Pearls Relic pearls are crystalline remains left after the cremation of ancient enlightened monks. There are a total of 9 relic pearls in the gourd bottle. 4️⃣ Gold Script on Blue Paper 'Lotus Sutra' Discovered in the Ruiguang Pagoda, the sutra is written in gold on blue-green paper and is illustrated with patterns. 5️⃣ Secret-Color Porcelain Lotus Bowl The porcelain bowl consists of a bowl and a stand, with an even glaze. The outer wall of the bowl, the surface of the stand, and the ring foot are all decorated with double-layered lotus flowers, raised like shallow bas-relief. It presents a jade-like warmth and is considered a standard piece of secret-color porcelain from the Five Dynasties to the Northern Song period. ✅ Courtyard Architecture The final masterpiece of world-renowned architect I.M. Pei, with a design concept of 'Chinese yet modern, Suzhou yet new', presents Suzhou-style architecture in a completely new way. Simple geometric lines, the use of black, white, and gray, and the interweaving of light and shadow create the beauty of a dance, outlining an ink-washed Jiangnan... Mr. I.M. Pei called it: 'My little daughter'. In fact, compared to the artifacts in the museum, this building has also become a collection. ◾ Fragmented Mountain Faux Rocks: Originating from the landscape paintings of Mi Fu in the Suzhou Museum, Taihu rocks are selected and cut, and then torched to represent the depth of ink in ink paintings. ◾ The water courtyard in the central atrium: Starting from the classical Chinese garden, it incorporates elements of pavilions, bridges, platforms, and sand, maintaining the charm of Suzhou-style gardens. ◾ Small scenes in the exhibition halls: The combination of Taihu rocks and pomegranate trees, with a view at every step and the use of light and shadow, many of the museum's finishing touches are small and exquisite, very photogenic. 📍204 Northeast Street, Gusu District, near Beisita Station on Subway Line 4 ⏰Opening hours: 9:00-17:00 ➡️Suzhou City Tourist Information Center (opposite the museum) offers 3 free stamps ➡️Museum cultural and creative store, any consumption can get 15 stamps 📌Reservation Method Free reservation through the official WeChat account of Suzhou Museum, entry with ID card.

The pond full of koi is really stunning♨️ In the morning, you can have a bowl of the famous vegetarian noodles nearby 4️⃣ The Humble Administrator's Garden takes more than half an hour to visit (not 🆓) It's not as amazing as I imagined But it's still pretty good for taking photos 5️⃣ Turns out the Suzhou Museum and the Lion Grove Garden are on the same route You can plan to finish both in half a day You need to book the museum one week in advance! (The picture is of the main museum, the West Pavilion can be booked one day in advance) But the museum is really, really, really beautiful and photogenic! The area selling souvenirs is also worth a long visit! Lots of desirable items～ 6️⃣ It's already impossible to get a spot for the old man on Pingjiang Road to draw names🤣! Too scary! Families, come early to reserve 😭 The spot is right at the entrance 7️⃣ Hotel, we chose the Indigo, the standard room is 400 per person The city skyline is perfectly unobstructed!

For the 'Crab Three Treasures', you need to reserve two and a half hours to be able to enjoy it (You can queue up first and then have enough time to visit Pingjiang Road and the Humble Administrator's Garden) 2. It took a 40-minute car ride to check in for the siu mai at Dongguan Shangdian 3. The three branches of Chayanyuyu are all on Pingjiang Road, but they are always super crowded The photos do look good 4. The six-grid puzzle dish, called Xin Meihua, is frequented by locals, and it's delicious! 5. You must try the chicken feet on Pingjiang Road! There are two shops, I've tried both, and they're both good～

Traveling from Wuxi to Suzhou, this time I chose to stay in the old city area, which is closer to various attractions, making dining, lodging, and transportation very convenient. The small city and small scenes are full of life! The old city area of Suzhou has largely maintained its original appearance, with no high-rise buildings, white walls and black tiles, small bridges over flowing water, and an antique charm! A day in Gusu, in the morning, visit the Lion Grove Garden, Humble Administrator's Garden, and Suzhou Museum together, and in the afternoon, go to Tiger Hill, Maple Bridge/Cold Mountain Temple, and Lingering Garden for a tour. The Lion Grove Garden is one of the four famous gardens in Suzhou, and the most famous feature is the lake rockery, where the rocks resemble lions, forming a 'forest of lions'! The Humble Administrator's Garden is ranked first among the four famous gardens in China and is a model of classical gardens in the south of the Yangtze River. It is famous for its long history, natural style, and elegant scenery. The Suzhou Museum was originally established in 1960 at the site of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's Loyalty King's Mansion. In 2006, the Suzhou Museum designed by I.M. Pei was completed. The new museum combines traditional Suzhou architectural style with modern minimalist architectural features, looking both classical and elegant as well as fresh and beautiful! 'The foremost scenic spot in the land south of the Yangtze River,' they say, is Tiger Hill. The most famous attractions of Tiger Hill are the Tiger Hill Pagoda and the Sword Pool. The Tiger Hill Pagoda is the world's second most leaning tower and has a history of over a thousand years. This seven-story, eight-sided tower is 47.7 meters tall and leans towards the northeast. The top of the tower is 2.34 meters off-center, with a maximum inclination of 3 degrees and 59 minutes, and the Tiger Hill Pagoda is also known as 'China's Leaning Tower of Pisa.' From above, the Sword Pool resembles a flat-lying sword and is the most mysterious place in Tiger Hill, with many legends surrounding it. 'Moon sets, crows cry, frost fills the sky; Maple trees and fishermen's lights face my sleepless sorrow. Outside Gusu city, Cold Mountain Temple, midnight bell reaches the passenger boat.' This timeless quatrain has made the famous Cold Mountain Temple in Gusu. Once one of China's ten famous temples, the temple has many ancient relics, including the stone inscription of Zhang Ji's poem 'Mooring by Maple Bridge at Night,' stone carvings of Hanshan and Shide, fragments of inscriptions written by Wen Zhengming and Tang Yin, and outside the temple, the ancient Maple Bridge. The Lingering Garden is one of the four famous gardens in China, a large classical private garden representing the Qing Dynasty style. The garden is known for its architectural art, with spacious and magnificent halls, courtyards full of changes, and an irregular layout that integrates garden buildings with mountains, water, and rocks to create a natural charm, truly unique!

📍Suzhou three-day two-night itinerary | Suzhou is charming at any time👀||| Day 1🎈: Arrive at Suzhou Station at 19:12, proceed to the hotel for check-in. Take Line 4 for just 1 stop to reach Beisita Station, then walk for 10 minutes to the hotel. After placing the luggage, take a bus to Shantang Street, where the night view is stunning, and it's bustling with people (the bus stop is right outside the hotel | The bus stations in Suzhou are all built in a retro style, which greatly surprised me as an outsider🤩. On the bus, I also met a warm-hearted Suzhou grandpa, who knew we were tourists and kindly told us where to get off and where to start exploring Shantang Street more appropriately). Day 2🎈: Visit the Humble Administrator's Garden (80 yuan/person) and the Suzhou Museum (free reservation, closed on Mondays, be sure to book in advance) in the morning | The hotel I stayed at is just 2 bus stops away from the Suzhou Museum, and the Humble Administrator's Garden is closely adjacent to the Suzhou Museum. In the afternoon, head to Pingjiang Road, which is 5 bus stops away. Pingjiang Road is a must-visit place in Suzhou, as the saying goes, 'A single Pingjiang Road, half of Gusu city,' and it lives up to its reputation. Had dinner at a restaurant named Taohuayuanji on Pingjiang Road (see picture 7), which was affordable, and also tried the 'Emperor's Smile' favored by Wei Wuxian. Additionally, I happened to come across a celebrity filming, heard someone say it was Chen Zheyuan, but unfortunately, I did not see him. In the evening, went to the Gate of the Orient, took photos with the iconic building of Suzhou, and watched the fountain show at Jinji Lake (for specific show times, you can follow the Suzhou Industrial Park official WeChat account. I thought I had missed the fountain⛲️ show, but it turned out I just caught the 8:30 one). Day 3🎈: In the morning, visit Beisita (free), which is about a 10-minute walk from my hotel, then take the bus for 13 stops, about 20 minutes to reach Hanshan Temple (18 yuan/person), and saw the 'Night Mooring by Maple Bridge' from the books. The itinerary on the third day was not rushed, only visiting these two places, slowly savoring the charm of Suzhou, then returning to the hotel to pick up luggage, and heading to the next destination.
