Self-guided tour of Suzhou during May Day

D1 Leave your luggage at the hotel. If you don’t have much luggage, you can go shopping in the Pingjiang Historical District

Go early to Linton Road Duba Shengjian, a little to the north there is Green Poplar Wonton, and next to the Humble Administrator’s Garden Zhu Hongxing Noodles (all three are very distinctive)

Morning Humble Administrator’s Garden (70) Museum (free, the building designed by I.M. Pei is very good) Lion Grove (30)

For lunch, go to the Fish Rice Rice Soil Restaurant in Pingjiang Historical District (60 per capita), Deyue Tower and Songhe Tower on Guanqian Street (100 per capita, relatively expensive but well-established restaurants). For snacks, there is Huang Tianyuan in Guanqiangong Alley. (The pastries are very famous and delicious) Caizhizhai (wine rice cakes are eaten during this season). Just eat whatever you want

Ticket prices for Zhouzhuang/Xitang/Wuzhen in the afternoon are around 100. The night tour is cheaper and the feeling of staying in the ancient town is different from the daytime. It’s great to get up early and take pictures. If you want to save money on tickets when you return to Suzhou the next day, go to Master Luo’s sesame cakes in Mudu. They are delicious and need to be hot

If you don’t go to the ancient town, you can choose Liuyuan Garden (60) Hanshan Temple (30, I can’t remember clearly) Panmen Scenic Area (30) choose one of three

For dinner, Shantang Street snacks if you don’t go to Guanqian Da Er’s dinner can be arranged at Shantang Street without buying tickets. There are fermented glutinous rice cakes, plum blossom cakes and crab apple cakes (sold at a stall by the river for 5 yuan each), and stinky tofu (the secret recipe of the Shantang snack restaurant). Stinky tofu costs 5 yuan a portion, even if it comes from other stores.) When you come out of the Shilu flavor snack street, there are a lot of messy food. You will definitely not be hungry. You can buy a group purchase for a night tour of the ancient city river. The general price is 70, if you buy in a group, 20~30

D2 Tiger Hill (60) It’s so fun. There is now a flower festival with tulips. It’s very nice. You can bring snacks and eat there while walking

For lunch, Shiquan Street Yangyang Dumpling House, a place where Carina Lau often takes her mother to eat, per capita 70 If there are not many people and you can just eat dumplings and hot and sour soup, the Four Seas Dragon Pot Stickers are also good. They can be purchased for more than ten yuan per person.

For shopping in the afternoon, just hang out in front of the temple without shopping and go to a scenic spot. Hanshan Temple and Panmen are both very unique places

Finish dinner nearby

Bring silk scarves with you when you go home. Shantang Street is cheap and only costs 10 yuan. They are everywhere. It’s very good. The most popular ones are Ruifuxiang and Qiantaixiang, but they are very expensive. You can eat sesame cakes with Qianshengyuan.

If you are a young couple, you can go to Mao’s Sky City, which is located on Shantang Street or Pingjiang Historic District. There are shops where you can send postcards to your future self. The price is not expensive and it’s a great way to keep them as souvenirs.

These are almost enough
