3. Best travel time

Suzhou belongs to the north subtropical monsoon climate, with mild and humid climate and abundant rainfall. There are four distinct seasons throughout the year, all of which are suitable for tourism, especially from April to 65438+10.

Every year on the sixth day of the sixth lunar month, Suzhou has the custom of drying books.

Another folk proverb says, "On June 6th, the dog took a bath." (Suzhou dialect calls bathing a shower) It is once a day to take a bath with cats and dogs to the river to avoid lice and fleas.

Eating Su is on June 24th of the lunar calendar.

According to legend, June 24th of the lunar calendar is Lei Zun's birthday. Eating "Zhai Lei Crisp" is to worship Lei Zun and become a vegetarian.

Cang Shu town mutton

The mutton in Cang Shu Town is famous all over the country. The mutton here is a hybrid of East goat and Australian imported mutton sheep. No matter whether it is braised or boiled in white, it is fresh and tender, and there is no smell. Cang Shu Town's own association rated the mutton restaurant as a "star", and there were bronze medals at the door. Among them, there were about 7-8 "three-star" restaurants, and the price was similar, a little more expensive than that of non-three-star restaurants, but about 7 people had already eaten well for 200 yuan. Oriental Hotel is one of the time-honored brands. The service is good.

9. Domestic transportation

Taxi:

Starting price 10 yuan (3km). After 3 kilometers, the unit price per kilometer is 1.8 yuan, and after 5 kilometers, 50% idle driving fee will be charged. The 5-minute waiting time is free.

Bus:

One-way fare for ordinary cars 1 yuan, and one-way fare for air-conditioned cars in 2 yuan. Most of them are unmanned ticketing cars. Some suburban routes in Suzhou implement "flop fares", that is, the fares are different throughout the journey. There is a sign on the boarding gate, which indicates the fare of this station, and it was turned over by the driver on the way, hence the name. (Attached is a list of buses and tourist buses in Suzhou).

Human tricycles:

Some scenic spots in Suzhou are in the alley, so the car can't reach the door directly. At this time, tricycle is the best means of transportation. The starting price of tricycles is 2 yuan, with an additional 2 yuan per kilometer, and 5 yuan per person per hour when chartered.

Reminder: Suzhou does not have a perfect tricycle industry standard, so you should negotiate the price with the driver before getting on the bus to avoid being fooled.

Bicycle:

Suzhou has many scenic spots. Riding a bicycle through the streets and alleys, visiting the ancient times and exploring the secluded places, you will definitely indulge in the artistic conception of "a small bridge with flowing water". There are many car rental agencies in Pingmen Bridge on the east side of the railway station. The approximate price is: 2 yuan within 4 hours, 3 yuan within 5-6 hours, and 5 yuan for one day. I need an ID card and a deposit.
