On weekends, I will drive from Shanghai to the first stop of Suzhou Dongshan. I will buy tickets on Trip.com one day in advance. It is very convenient to scan the code directly to enter the park. We arrived at about 9 o'clock, there were not many parking spaces in the park and they were all full, so we drove forward for about 5 minutes and then walked for 20 minutes to reach Qiyuan. There are not many tourists in the park. The garden is built next to the Taihu Lake basin. There are courtyards, pavilions, Taihu stones inside, especially the Royal Pier embedded in the blue waves of Taihu Lake. It is very easy to walk and play, and there are few people and beautiful check-in points.

The yard built by Xijia in the Republic of China to commemorate the dock where Kangxi landed in the south of the Yangtze River. It is also a viewing place of Shuiyuedongtian. It is connected to Dongshan Hotel and the area is not large. There is a lakeside trail to enjoy the scenery of Taihu Lake, and the other half of the lake heart pavilion is probably blocked by the iron gate because of the repair. Basically, you can finish shopping in an hour. Although the sky is still cold, the flowers in the garden have been blooming one after another, especially the knot at the entrance is very beautiful. The parking lot at the entrance is very small. On Saturday afternoon, you can only queue at the door to enter and exit. It is best to come back after three o'clock.

民国时期席家为了纪念康熙下江南登陆的码头而建造的院子。也是水月洞天的取景地。和东山宾馆相连，面积不算大。有湖边的步道可以饱览太湖风景，湖心亭的另一半边大概是因为修缮的原因被铁门拦了起来。基本1个小时就可以逛完。虽然天还冷嗖嗖的，园里的花已经陆续盛开，尤其是入口处的结香甚是好看。门口的停车场非常小，周六下午只能在门口排队一进一出，最好是三点以后再来。

说小巧 面临烟波浩渺的太湖 借的美景。每个厅堂楼阁设计用心，花树掩映。二月十八日来的，几树红梅白梅已经悄然盛开。出乎意料的苏州园林，借景做的出色。携程买打折门票记得提前二小时下单，否则无法及时入院。
