Suzhou｜Half-day stroll around Jinji Lake

10:00 Departure, around 12:00 arrival in Suzhou First Stop: Yuxingji·Boutique Suzhou Noodle House (Jinji Lake Branch) to eat a bowl of local famous Suzhou Yangchun noodles 💰 Cost 55 yuan. Shrimp noodles need to be reserved, they were sold out so I didn't get to eat them. Note: The portion of the stir-fried shredded pork is very generous 👍 Parking was free. Second Stop: Eslite Bookstore Mainly to see the new look of the bookstore steps, which were renovated this year, worth checking out and taking photos. You can also read books, it's recommended to go on weekdays as there aren't many reading spots. Eslite Bookstore is on the third floor, there are food options on the first floor and basement level one. There's a market on the first floor where you can stroll leisurely. Third Stop: Suzhou Jinji Art Museum Exhibition Theme: Eye of Wisdom - Contemporary Women's Art Exhibition Exhibition Time: 2024.3.20-7.21 (note the time) Free 🆓🆓 You can enter by scanning the code at the entrance, it's near Eslite Bookstore, a few minutes' drive, and the parking lot is free 🆓 Fourth Stop: Jinji Lake Wind Garden (Lakeside Cafe) There are seats upstairs but it's a bit hot, though there are fans. There are seats downstairs where you can rest a bit and take photos 🛳️ simulating a seaside vacation. 🍇 Grape soda is also okay, not disappointing. Fifth Stop: Gate of the Orient (Big Pants) Actually, we passed by the Gate of the Orient on the way to Wind Garden, but parking is difficult at the Gate of the Orient, so we went to the cafe first and made the Gate of the Orient the last stop. Many people put their phones on the ground, leaning against the stone lion pillars, to take aerial shots. This is a large shopping mall, if you have time, you can stroll around slowly. ➡️ 18:30 Prepare to return 🚗
