A walk around Taihu Lake is full of challenges and temptations for many young people. The beautiful Jiangnan Lake is surrounded by greenery, fresh air and elegant environment. Perfect for swimming on weekends or holidays. Let’s introduce it in detail below.

I have always dreamed of going for a walk around Taihu Lake, but I don’t know if it is possible. I checked on the Internet, but there was an article that said that if you walk around Taihu Lake, you only need to walk for a while. I feel that I have to work hard and do whatever I want, otherwise I will regret it when I get old.

Travel guide around Taihu Lake

Taihu Lake is one of the five largest freshwater lakes in China. Its coastline is winding, with small bridges and flowing water, green trees, fragrant rice and mulberry trees, fishing ports, villages, ancient bridges and ancient towns connected together, forming a variety of natural landscapes.

Taihu Lake is so beautiful. You can look at the scenery along Taihu Lake, relax, exercise, and walk together or alone. It is not too difficult to walk around Taihu Lake. The main problem is planning accommodation.

The coastline around Taihu Lake is 410 kilometers long, and the Taihu Lake Avenue is flat and suitable for hiking. There are road signs on the Taihu Lake Avenue. If you can walk 20 kilometers in 6 hours a day, it will take about 20 days to complete the hike around Taihu Lake.

Prepare necessary items before departure. For hikers who want to exercise their body and mind by taking in the sights, they don’t need any hard equipment. Just put on a pair of walking shoes, a pair of shoulders, some essential medications and a small Bluetooth speaker.

One day in advance, check the location of villages and towns online for planning. Plan a day of hiking trails. Start walking at eight in the morning, walk for three hours in the morning, take a two-hour break for lunch, and walk for three hours in the afternoon. At the end of a day's hiking, walk to a village or town where food and accommodation are available to prepare food and water for the next day.

Visiting Taihu Lake is not easy. If there are any ancient towns you want to visit around the lake, you can visit all the attractions. Of course, you don’t have to walk to these attractions. You can take a bus to extend your travel time.

In addition, the most important thing is to walk to a place with accommodation before dark. Walking time can vary depending on the hotel's location. If the hotel is far away, walk a little longer. If the hotel is relatively close, then call it a day and check into the hotel early. These must be flexibly grasped.

The problem of eating is very simple. Just have breakfast and dinner at the hotel, take lunch with you and buy some at the accommodation.

Remember one of the purposes of Taihu is to hold Taihu tightly. As long as you can't see the water, you must do everything possible to get to the lake, and be sure to keep an eye on the words "Lake-Round Avenue, Taihu Embankment, Lake-Round Line, Hubin Road, etc." Navigate and follow these routes.

Starting from Guang Fuxu Town in Suzhou, we first visited the ancient town, then took a bus to Taihu Fishing Port Village, and officially walked from Taihu Fishing Port Village to Huanhu Avenue.
