Suzhou tourism

About staying: The hotel conditions in Suzhou are quite good. There are five five-star hotels at present. The martial arts Sheraton is a garden-style design, which is very special. Four-star hotels recommend Du Ya Hotel, which is located in Sanxiang Road. Budget hotels recommend Suzhou Jiahe Business Hotel, which is cost-effective. In addition, the conditions of Taihu Pearl Resort and Yinhu Mountain Villa are good. I can't accept the price of 4 stars and 5 stars. I chose an economy hotel. I often hear friends say that booking tickets online will be much cheaper, because I have been to Sanya and Shanghai before and had such an experience. Online booking may be cheaper than the front desk, but I think it is better to contact the store directly by phone (if there is no online booking, you can call 1 14). Haha, it will definitely be cheaper. At the same time, an intermediate link is missing. To save a lot of money. I once saved a room fee for one night in Shanghai. If the hotel wants to make a reservation in advance and pay the deposit, it's better to pay it, so as to ensure foolproof, otherwise it can only be kept until 6 pm according to the regulations, but when we go out to play, we usually arrive at night. Usually, the hotels recommended by netizens are not expensive and the business is good, especially on weekends.

After being introduced by netizens, I chose Suzhou Jiahe Business Hotel, which is opposite to the Lion Forest parking lot. The hotel is good, and gave me a membership price of 128 for one night, which was absolutely good. The toilets used are all Kohler's. According to netizens, it may cost 3,000 to 4,000 RMB each, and so does sanitary ware. Ha ha. Here, I would also like to thank the netizens for their recommendation and introduction. Garden Road, located in the ancient city of Suzhou, is not on the main roads of the city (note: the main roads of the city are noisy), and there are basically no cars at night, which is very quiet. Garden Road Old Street, opposite the Lion Forest. Quiet in the noise, thoughtful service, value for money, is my evaluation of him, cost-effective It is also convenient to play in the garden and go to Guanqian Street. Before I came, I checked their website and looked at the pictures. After staying, I found that it was as good as the online one. 128 yuan value. The weekend may be 148. It is recommended not to choose the weekend before departure. Ha ha!

It's best to live in the urban area, because public transportation in Suzhou is very convenient, and all scenic spots have bus lines. It's more convenient and I think it's one of the best in the country. ! I arrived in Suzhou at nine o'clock in the morning and came out of the railway station exit. There are a lot of soliciting people to pull you at this time. Don't answer them. Go ahead, don't turn, and you'll see a special taxi place. Queue when there are many people. Take a taxi 10 yuan to the hotel. Because I was too tired by train, I went to the hotel to check in, washed my face, turned on the air conditioner and had a rest. I think the advantage of self-help tour is that you can control your time and have a good time, but you won't get tired. I also hope you can travel leisurely and not be too tired. It may cost a little more, but it will definitely be different to play. It was 12 o'clock. I played in the lion forest and went to Tianfu to eat some. They didn't surpass 60 yuan, so I went to the hotel to have a rest. It's too hot at noon, not much worse than Sanya. It was three o'clock in the afternoon, and I went to the Humble Administrator's Garden to play. It's past five. I went to Guanqian Street in the evening. It's delicious. When I go, I personally think it is recommended to walk. Because it is only ten minutes away from the hotel, that is, the Lion Forest, along the willow-shaded riverside and the ancient buildings in Suzhou, you will have a different feeling. The next day I went to Tiger Hill and Hanshan Temple, and at night I went to Pingjiang Road Historic District. It feels so good. On the third day, I went to Mudu. Go to Pingjiang Road Historic District in the morning and see what old Suzhou looks like in the morning. In the evening, there is a bookstore named Guangyu in Guanqian Street, with an inaccurate name and a Kunqu performance. I think it's in some palace lane. It's around here anyway. Not far, don't ask the driver and the three-person driver. If they know, they won't say anything, and they will probably drag you somewhere else. You are not sure what happened. Sometimes, I think that Suzhou City would be much better without these rickshaws. Most of these people cheat because of money. Sometimes I swear and hit people. I said most, not all! ! ! Especially on the edge of the scenic spot, it's really annoying.

Bus route: Get off at the train station and take a taxi 10 yuan to Lion Forest. There are buses such as 1, 23 13, 306, 5438+0, 202, all of which are 1 yuan, with air conditioning in 2 yuan. Here, there are buses everywhere. I think this is the best point, which is a transit point.

Tip: Suzhou has a good law and order, and accommodation needs to be registered, which is not as good as Sanya. But the tricycle drivers in Suzhou are very annoying. The best way is to ignore them. They are all migrant workers in Suzhou. In short, they are annoying. When you see tourists, say, where are you going? What is Beauty Street? Never pay attention to them and never ask them for directions. There are also some taxi drivers in Suzhou. Sometimes he treats you as a foreigner and asks where to go. He will say that this place is not good and take you to live elsewhere. Because they will get a commission, and you will be slaughtered. In short, don't trust these people too much when you are away from home. The best way to ask for directions is to ask maps and ordinary citizens. This is the best way to get to Jiahe Hotel. Address: opposite the lion forest parking lot on Huayuan Road. There is an internet cafe opposite. The place surrounded by lion forest is lion forest. Personally, I think the sign of Lion Forest is not easy to find, because I can't see obvious instructions when I get off the bus stop. Now I'll teach you a good way: I'll see a supermarket when I get off the bus, opposite the Tongtianfu Hotel. That road is called Shizilin Temple Lane, and I have been coming in. The lion forest is at the crossroads, and I can also see the golden harvest. Turn left and go straight to the Humble Administrator's Garden, which is very close. Go straight at the intersection, then turn left, and you will arrive at Pingjiang Historic Street. Never take a tricycle, because there is no need to spend this money. Actually, it's very close, but the sign is not clear. Suzhou city is not big. It is said that the ancient city of Suzhou (mainly Pingjiang District) was also called Pingjiang House in the old days. From south to north, from east to west, taxis will not surpass 20 yuan. The purpose of self-help tour is to help myself completely, and regard my trip as an opportunity to learn local knowledge. Use snacks, prepare more, that's it!

About playing: Suzhou gardens are the best in the world. "Suzhou Garden is a comprehensive artistic work of architecture, gardens, flowers and trees, sculpture, calligraphy and painting, which combines natural beauty and artistic beauty into one, forming a tortuous picture. There are more than 60 gardens in the city, among which Humble Administrator's Garden and Lingering Garden are listed as the four famous gardens in China. Together with nine classical gardens such as Master Wang Garden, Huanxiu Mountain Villa, Canglang Pavilion, Lion Forest, Art Garden, Lovers Garden and Retreat Garden, they were listed on the World Heritage List by UNESCO in February197 and October12000 respectively. ?

Suzhou has both the beauty of gardens and the victory of mountains and rivers. Temples, temples and famous temples are all over urban and rural areas; Cultural relics and historic sites complement each other. It is remembered by literati and poets and is famous at home and abroad for painting books. Lingyan, Tian Ping, Dongting Dongshan Xishan, Dengwei, Yushan and Yushan are all natural scenic spots. Modern tourist facilities such as Zhouzhuang, Guzhen, Suzhou Amusement Park and Taihu Lake Amusement Park have also attracted many domestic and foreign tourists. ?

There are 10 museums in Suzhou, and opera, folk customs, inscriptions, silk, Suzhou embroidery, coins, gardens and Buddhism have become new tourist hotspots. Another arts and crafts museum is under construction.

I went to the following places and made the following comments:

Humble Administrator's Garden: To the north of Lion Forest, from Garden Road to the north. I think this is the essence of Gusu Garden. Ticket price, 70 yuan. I remember there is a Suzhou Folk Museum on the way from Lion Grove to Humble Administrator's Garden. You can visit it on the way.

Lion Forest: In the name of rockery kingdom, there are countless lions, cubs, roaring lions, dancing lions, waking lions and sleeping lions squatting, playing or playing. The incredible whole mountain, like Kunlun Mountain, stands out vertically and horizontally, with lion peak as the main part, and the mountains are undulating and winding in all directions, which is worth seeing!

Tiger Hill: Known as "the first scene in Wuzhong". "Historical Records" contains: "Prince of Wu

Fuxi buried his father and Lu here. Three days later, another white tiger left, hence the name Tiger Hill. "Huqiu Temple was built in the Jin Dynasty, and Tang was renamed Wuqiu.

Honghu Temple in Song Dynasty, Yunyan Temple and Khufu Temple in Qing Dynasty.

In the evening, I suggest going to Guanqian Street, eating noodles from Huang Tianyuan and playing in Pingjiang Road Historic District. One day in downtown Suzhou is really not enough, and the road to success is also very good. There is a river in the middle of the road, which may be the only one in the country. Throughout Suzhou, there are still many praises for Pingjiang Road. This is renovated, but you can still find an old house with a history of hundreds of years. Some old men are fishing by the river, and old women are chatting in the bridge pavilion. On the way, I snapped pictures crazily and saw a boat carrying tourists in the river. And the beautiful MM sitting in the bow makes people's eyes pounding. A lot of times, I am finally left behind by the pace. The scenery is good, but it depends on the people. She doesn't like my LG very much and says I don't look like a young man. Haha, she prefers to see Qian Jie because there is shopping there.

If you have time, go to Lingyan Mountain and Tianping Mountain in Mudu. Play for a day.

Tip: The traffic in Suzhou is very good, and the map of Suzhou is also very clear and practical. As long as the north-south direction is clearly defined, there are many bus lines and good service.

You can bring special products-pine nut candy, rose melon seeds, shrimp paste, jujube paste biscuits, lard salty cakes, Taicang meat floss, musical instruments, Suzhou embroidery, silk, Biluochun tea, Suzhou fans, Taohuawu woodcut New Year pictures, lake pens and Taihu whitebait.

China has four major cuisines, Sulu, Yuechuan, with different tastes, which are called "sour in the east, spicy in the west, sweet in the south and salty in the north", while Jiangsu cuisine belongs to the "sweet in the south" flavor.

Su cuisine is characterized by strict selection of materials, fine workmanship, and different materials. It is good at stewing, stewing, steaming, roasting and frying in cooking, paying attention to mixing soup and maintaining its original flavor. The taste is light and sweet, and the color scheme is harmonious.

The famous Soviet-style specialty dishes are sweet and sour mandarin fish, shark's fin in clear soup, sesame oil eel paste, watermelon chicken, whole chicken with mother oil, Taihu water shield soup, emerald shrimp bucket, stewed lotus and so on.

Suzhou snacks are also world famous. Dried bean curd with thick sauce, pine nut candy, rose melon seeds, shrimp sauce, jujube paste biscuits and lard salted cakes are all very famous. You must try them.

The famous Suzhou-style restaurant is the first to promote Deyue Building and Songhe Building.

Deyuelou (No.27 eunuch lane) is characterized by changing menus in time due to different seasons. There is cherry juice meat in spring; In summer, there are steamed shad, maple hooves, steamed meat with lotus paste powder and so on. There are chestnuts, braised chicken and oily meat in autumn; In winter, there are eight treasure bones, boiled herring and assorted warm pots. The two of us ate a portion of Guangdong Tong chicken (50), a portion of braised bacon with white leaves (15) and a bottle of Budweiser beer (10), which cost * * * 75 yuan. The waiter smiled at the checkout, probably because we ordered less, haha! ! !

Songhelou (Guanqian Street 14 1) was built in the Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty, and has a history of more than 200 years. It is the representative of traditional Su cuisine. Sweet and sour mandarin fish, snail shrimp, braised pork and tofu are the specialties of this restaurant. There is nothing to eat because there is no appointment. I will definitely try it next time I have a chance.

At present, the most popular restaurants in Suzhou are Tianzhu, Xiangyun, Runji, Tsinghua, Nankai and so on. These "fashion favorites" are more reasonable in price, first-class in service and more elegant in environment than "old brands" such as Deyue Building and Songhe Building.

The main food streets in Suzhou are eunuch lane, shiquan street, bachelor street, Fenghuang street, Ganjiang road and Shilu Jinmen commercial city food street. But there are too many, and the choices are not so good.

Suzhou is the best place. Four-star and five-star hotels can't afford to stay, but I personally don't think it is necessary. Now the economy hotel is developing well, the room price is generally between 100-200 yuan, and there are no restaurants and other facilities, but it has given us more tangible benefits! But the hotel conditions that are too cheap are often unsatisfactory. When I go to Suzhou, I will choose a place near the garden attractions. One is safety and the other is the surrounding environment. Feel the atmosphere of old Suzhou. The Jiahe Business Hotel on Garden Road where I live is worth recommending, especially when I get up in the morning and stand on Garden Road. But I have to get up early. Better get up before 6 o'clock. Haha, lazy, forget it, haha! The key to choosing hotel accommodation is to see if he has lobby and room bathroom facilities. This is my experience of traveling for many years. Main road, main road, expensive, noisy room.

Transportation: Shanghai Hongqiao Airport and Pudong Airport have direct buses to Suzhou, and the fares are 50 yuan and 80 yuan respectively. You can also take a train or bus from Shanghai, preferably by train, every 20 minutes, and it takes 40 minutes to get there. But going to the airport at night costs a lot of money. Jianyi can arrive in Suzhou in the afternoon. Because it is too late, there will be no airport bus. If you take a taxi to the railway station, it will cost you at least 300 yuan.

Play: Suzhou has opened a tourist bus line, which is divided into two lines: the eastern line passes through the railway station, North Temple Tower, East Garden, Lion Forest, Humble Administrator's Garden and Guanqian Street, and the western line passes through the railway station, Tiger Hill, Xiyuan, Hanshan Temple, Liuyuan, Shantang Street and Panmen. The fare is ordinary car 1 yuan, air-conditioned car in 2 yuan. In addition, you can take a taxi,1from 0 yuan (3 kilometers), or rent a bicycle to play. Tricycle is not recommended, it is extremely expensive.

Tickets: Tickets for Suzhou scenic spots fluctuate up and down in 50 yuan, with peak season and off-season.

Shopping: Renmin Road and Guanqian Street are places that can be visited in urban areas, where you can buy freshly baked hair cakes and pine nut candy from Daoxiang Village, jujube paste cakes and dried bean curd from Ye Shouhe, rice cakes from Huang Tianyuan, brown sugar and shortcakes from Caizhizhai.

Note: 1. Many people recommend a day trip or hotel at the exit of the railway station or bus station. Don't worry about it, as long as you have a little hesitation, he will haunt you for a long time! Once successful, contribute kickbacks! Most of the hotels they recommend are dirty and messy. Otherwise, he will recommend you to go, and there is no rebate. Remember: what they say is good, and what they say is definitely bad, which is reverse thinking.

It is best not to take a tricycle in Suzhou, and never listen to places with extremely low fares recommended by foreign drivers. Not to mention that those places are not fun, drivers can also get kickbacks from your contributions. Remember: what they say is good, and what they say is definitely bad, which is reverse thinking. Sometimes it's funny. I heard a rickshaw driver tell a little girl that the most interesting place in Suzhou is the water town folk garden, especially the cockfighting performance. Dizzy! ! !

3. All buses in Suzhou can accept Shanghai Transportation Card and Wuxi Taihu Pearl Card, and the fare is 10% off.

There are fake monks in the North Temple Pagoda and some temples in Dongxishan, extorting foreign tourists on the grounds of fortune telling.

Suzhou specialties are basically some silk and Soviet-style sweets and cakes, and some are in front of the exhibition. The best sweets and cakes are Caizhizhai, Daoxiang Village and Yeshou River, all in Guanqian Street. Silk is recommended to be bought in big stores, but scalpers, drivers and rickshaws are not recommended. If 200 yuan buys it, it may only be worth 20 yuan! ! !

6, go out, don't be unhappy with your companions because of some small things, ask more directions, prepare more, it doesn't matter if you are bored, just be happy and be free! Be sure to believe in your ability and travel by yourself! This is because I had it, and I regret it a little. After all, it is fun to come out to play, and there is no need to compete with friends for trifles.

Finally, I wish all self-help friends in the world happiness! ! !
