Pingjiang Road

📍📍📍 Four attractions in two days and one night: Pingjiang Road (1-5), Humble Administrator's Garden (6-8), Xiyuan Temple (9-10), Shantang Street (11-13) ✔️Pingjiang Road is full of snack streets and boutiques, a combination of hustle and tranquility. Many young ladies dress in very Jiangnan style for photos.📷 ✔️Walking along Pingjiang Road is the Humble Administrator's Garden, which has a history of almost 500 years. The buildings in the courtyard are very distinctive. If you encounter a tour guide, you can listen to the stories about the garden. ✔️The next day, take a taxi to Xiyuan Temple. It's amazing that your heart calms down as soon as you arrive at the temple. It's very suitable for office workers who are always in the workplace. The outside world is too noisy, here you can feel a tranquility that is completely different from usual. ✔️Walking along Xiyuan Temple, you will reach Shantang Street, which is full of special snacks and souvenirs. After the lights on both sides of the waterfront are turned on at night, it completely conforms to my impression of the Jiangnan water town~ Finally, if you have time, I also recommend going to the Suzhou Museum and listening to the Suzhou Pingtan by Teacher Wu

#cherryblossom2024 🌸 The travel in Suzhou has a great aftertaste, and if you don't listen to my true feelings, I feel like entering Suzhou all morning, with eyes full of Jiangnan. The garden bridges and towers, water smoke alleys and alleys, Wu Zhao Pingtan, and all of them look like drunken Jiangnan. No wonder the ancients were all vying to praise Suzhou! If you only have two days and one night, then follow this attack, go for a run to Pingjiang Road, blow the night breeze of Shantang Street, and feel the city of Gusu in Tang and Song poetry~

1️⃣ It's currently 2-15°C in Suzhou🌡️, with significant temperature differences between day and night due to the late spring cold. Remember to bring warm clothes🧥 2️⃣ For Suzhou gardens, besides the Humble Administrator's Garden, you can also visit the Couple's Retreat Garden and the Master of Nets Garden this season. The plum and magnolia blossoms are just right🌸 3️⃣ If it's your first time taking a night tour🌃 of the gardens, I recommend the Master of Nets Garden, which features live Kunqu opera performances. 4️⃣ You must book the Suzhou Museum in advance!!

To be honest, the bamboo tube milk tea is just for good photos. 7️⃣ On Pingjiang Road, you can take a ride on a sculling oared boat for 40r/person💰, with the trip lasting about half an hour🕐. I recommend going at dusk when the lights and shadows of the oars create the most romantic atmosphere. 8️⃣ Teacher Wu Liangying's Suzhou Pingtan can be found at the 'Pipa Language Pingtan Teahouse' on Pingjiang Road, with 5 shows in the afternoon and 3 in the evening. You need to queue on-site to choose the showtime and seats. If you're in a hurry, I suggest going early to book⚠️ 9️⃣ Next to the 'Suzhou' log on Pingjiang Road is the Seven Percent Sweet.

Buy a 'Suzhou Hand-drawn Cycling Map' to experience the local atmosphere🎆. 1️⃣6️⃣ If you want to eat vegetarian noodle dishes in Suzhou, I recommend going to Xiyuan Temple, with prices at 10/15r💰 per bowl. 1️⃣7️⃣ For a proper meal🍜, I suggest going to Qian Yuman.

#foodies This is a small cute shop that located at the entrance of the Pingjiang road, Suzhou!! Strolling in this area during winter time, I would recommend you to buy a cup of hot roasted milk to keep your body and hand warm while enjoying this over 1000 years road + buildings!! A must mention, the owner of the shop is SUPER friendly and talkative where it makes us feel welcomed all the time👍🏻👍🏻 If you would like to take some instagrammable picture, top up some money to buy the cup decor on top of the drink and afterwards, you can keep it as a souvenir as well🍶 Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟

After wandering through the streets and alleys of Pingjiang Road in Suzhou, and quietly experiencing the slowness and comfort of the deserted Shantang Street, I unilaterally declare Suzhou as my second hometown Eating osmanthus cakes, drinking mung bean soup, and strolling to the Suzhou Museum, I feel it is more like an art gallery than a museum. The arrangement of the exhibits and the ingenuity of the architecture seem to shine even more than the exhibits themselves. ⚠️Suzhou Museum must be booked in advance

Dubbed the ‘Venice of the East’, historic Suzhou is known for its ancient canals and many UNESCO listed gardens. It is easy to spend a weekend wandering through the old stone temples, riding boats down the canals or visiting the 9 heritage listed gardens 🌸 Located 30 minutes from Shanghai via bullet train, the old centre of the town is preserved and still resembles it’s time in history when poets and artists would flock to the area for inspiration. Another thing to do in Suzhou is eat, eat, eat! The cuisine is seasonal, which means the dishes available in autumn would be different in winter. A food tour is highly recommended! #historicplaces

Pingjiang Road in Suzhou, China, is an old street that has preserved its ancient charm and uniqueness. It's a place that we really like. Throughout the area, there are temples, historical sites, and lovely shops where you can pay with Alipay. There are many shops where you can rent traditional Chinese costumes, and you can choose whichever one you prefer. It is recommended to avoid Chinese holidays. We went during a holiday, and it was extremely crowded, with hardly any space at all. In the evening, it tends to get even more crowded. Traveling from Shanghai: Take the high-speed train to Suzhou Station, which takes 25 minutes, and then continue by Metro. The Metro does not accept Alipay, so be sure to bring cash. Get off at Lindunlu Station.
