In fact, 1 one-day tour or Suzhou 2-day tour is enough ~3 days is not worth it!

There is really no three antennas suitable for you, so I will give you two days!

D 1:

2011at 8: 35 am on may 7, the D5474 train carried us and our expectations and headed for Suzhou. After about 40 minutes, we arrived at our destination. It happened that Suzhou Railway Station was under renovation, which was a bit messy. However, we successfully found the No.5 bus in front of the station. All buses here can use Shanghai Transportation Card, which is very convenient. In addition, there is a discount of 10% if you use the card.

After several stops, we got off at Suzhou Museum Station. It's only a 5-minute walk from the first destination of our trip-Lion Forest. In order to facilitate travel, I set the hotel at Rujia Humble Administrator's Garden in Bashang Lane, opposite the Lion Forest, which is a quiet place. I remember two years ago, when my old classmates and I came to Suzhou, we chose to live here. In addition to high cost performance, convenient travel is also an important reason. This time, the special business room I reserved on eLong.com is located on the first floor. Although the room is not big, it is clean and comfortable with a 6-foot queen bed. Being at home still makes me feel at home as always.

10: 30, we checked into the hotel, unloaded our luggage, and my wife and I went into battle lightly and went straight to the lion forest across the alley. The attractive smell of Suzhou gardens is already calling us!

Lion Forest was founded in the Yuan Dynasty and is known as one of the four major gardens in Suzhou. Small and exquisite, especially rockery, is the representative of Suzhou gardens. After my wife and I bought tickets for 30 yuan/Zhang, we began to visit. It's a little hot, but it can't stop the enthusiasm of tourists. When we went in, we found that the small garden was full of tourists like us. My wife and I are hand in hand in every corner of the bridge, stone workshop, rockery, promenade and lion forest. Every grass and tree here exudes the unique aura of Jiangnan Garden. The exquisiteness and beauty of the garden attracted us to hold up the camera frequently to record. When you are tired, you can make a cup of fragrant tea in the "rain pavilion", sit by the window and enjoy the scenery outside the window slowly and quietly. Everything is so comfortable and natural. At this time, my wife suggested that we take a photo with the most distinctive rockery Lion Peak in Lion Grove. I accepted it gladly, only to step into the "rockery maze". It is said that there is the largest existing ancient rockery group in China in the Lion Grove. The two of us plunged into the rockery, but we couldn't get around Lion Peak for a long time. After many twists and turns, the Lion Peak is still "close at hand" but "out of reach". My wife looked at me helplessly and said in a teasing tone that this place is especially suitable for "hide and seek". Two people can't help but smile at one another. Yu Yue, a scholar in the Qing Dynasty, praised the Lion Forest for "five disasters but not enough, nine upstream and downstream but not all". I believed it from the beginning. After summing up the experience and lessons, we made persistent efforts and finally succeeded in climbing the Lion Peak. I left the most difficult and special photo of our trip. It is suggested that friends who come to Lion Forest in the future must leave enough time to enjoy the rockery here.

After more than two hours' trip to the Lion Grove, my wife and I temporarily forgot to eat. Out of the garden, I suddenly felt hungry. Look at the time, it has passed 1 pm. So, we went straight to the next destination-Wumen Family.

The famous "Wumen Family" on the Internet is quietly waiting in Panru Lane, an alley next to Lion Forest. As the saying goes, "the smell of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley." However, people who haven't done their homework dare not pass it by. Through a quaint courtyard with a single house, there is a hall. More than a dozen square tables are neatly placed in the hall, and a plaque with Suzhou flavor is hung on the wall opposite the door. Although the meal has passed, the hall is still full of diners from all directions. It is here that we come to taste authentic Soviet-style dishes. So, according to the established arrangement, my wife and I ordered cherry meat, stir-fried shrimp, crab powder tofu and Xiaoyi Wen cabbage. In a short time, a rich table of Soviet-style side dishes appeared in front of us, and each dish was full of weight. I couldn't wait to enjoy it, so I started to move chopsticks. Cherry meat is fat but not greasy, sweet and very delicious; Stir-fried shrimps are made of fresh river shrimps, which are fresh, sweet and elastic and full of Jiangnan water town flavor. "Wumen Family" didn't let us down. While eating, I sighed that "we are in the right place" and solved the whole table of Soviet-style food three times and five times. The only regret is that our fighting capacity is limited, otherwise we really want to eat all the dishes here. Fortunately, there is still plenty of time. When we went out with hiccups, my wife whispered in my ear, "If you have a chance, you must try other dishes on the menu again."

After lunch, it's already half past two in the afternoon. Our next plan is to visit Suzhou Museum. From Wumenlou, walk along the garden and pass a small bridge. The new Suzhou Museum designed by the world famous architect I.M. Pei takes only five minutes to walk. The whole Suzhou Museum is divided into two parts: the new museum and the old museum, which are open to tourists free of charge. The new museum mainly displays cultural relics, and the old museum is the loyal palace of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. After lunch, it is a good choice to walk here and learn about Suzhou's long history of more than 2500 years. However, compared with the Shaanxi History Museum that my wife and I visited, the exhibits here in Suzhou are really not rich. "Zhu Zhen Relic Tower" and "Five Dynasties Yue Kiln Celadon Lotus Bowl" are the treasures of the town hall here, and they are still worth pondering.

It's still early to leave Suzhou Museum. My wife and I visited the pedestrian street in front of the museum and got a small folding fan painted with orchids. However, when I saw my wife gently unfolding a folding fan to cover her cheeks like a treasure, she only showed her affectionate big eyes, and her smile revealed the charm of a good family in Jiangnan water town.

Having visited so many places at once, we all felt a little tired. What's more, there is a plan to "visit Suzhou Ancient Canal at night". Let's go back to Home Inn and take a nap. It seems that it is very necessary to choose a hotel with a suitable geographical location, which has won us valuable rest and adjustment time.

In a blink of an eye, night came. Our next program, Night Tour of Suzhou Ancient Canal, will also appear in BLACKPINK. Before that, we had dinner in the "porridge husband and porridge woman" in front of Suzhou Museum. Because lunch was late and very rich, dinner was simple-a bowl of porridge for each person was quickly fixed.

After dinner, we walked to the station. We boarded the No.50 bus and went straight to the ancient canal pier. The car is very empty, so we can take a ride in Suzhou while blowing a breeze.

I got it from tintin network. Take bus No.50 and get off at Guxuqiao Station. It takes only 5 minutes to walk to Xu Pan Road Xincheng Bridge Ancient Canal Tourist Wharf. But the actual situation is completely different. My wife and I walked for 20 or 30 minutes before reaching our destination. Fortunately, I reserved enough time. We both arrived at the ticket office of the cruise terminal before 7: 30 in the evening and didn't miss such a wonderful night tour program. Practice has proved that you can't believe everything on the internet, and you can't believe everything. On the way back, my wife and I chose the No.5 tour. Although the route is a little detour, there is a car back to the hotel, which is very reliable.

At the ticket office, we learned that due to inflation, the original ticket from 70 yuan has risen to 80 yuan. I booked a boat ticket for Mama Donkey in advance. Just send me a message, and I'll enjoy the discount of 65 yuan. Two tickets can save 30 yuan. I once again realized the importance of doing my homework in advance.

When we checked in and entered the dock, a double-decker cruise ship appeared in front of us. The bottom cabin of the cruise ship is for tourists to relax and enjoy the pingtan performance, and the second floor is an excellent viewing platform for visiting the ancient canal at night. After we seized the favorable terrain near the railing on the second floor, the cruise ship started slowly, carrying my wife and I, as well as a boat of tourists, wandering on the ancient canal. The ancient canal, also an ancient moat, divided Suzhou into "inside" and "outside". That is, what we usually call "old city" and "new city" today. Visually, you can easily distinguish them. Because according to the urban planning of Suzhou, the buildings in the old city cannot exceed 2/3 of the height of the North Temple Tower. The new town is completely different, with high-rise buildings rising from the ground and row upon row. This reminds me of Xi, when the lights were on, I leaned against the ancient city wall and looked at the old city and the new city. Only there did Xi 'an's ancient city wall play the role of Suzhou Creek.

Early summer nights are breezy, especially suitable for night trips by boat. Lights flashed on both sides of the ancient canal, and various modern and ancient buildings were printed on it. The splendid lights on both sides of the strait are reflected in the rippling water waves and swaying willow branches, which complement each other with the architecture of the ancient city of Suzhou and are intoxicating. From time to time, you will experience bridge opening. Especially under the bridge opening of Renmin Road, you can see groups of exquisite relief murals, telling stories that happened in Suzhou in ancient times. It makes you feel that crossing the bridge is like crossing history. Just below bridge opening, you will find the heron resting there after eating and drinking. Their eyes are half open and half closed, complacent, completely ignoring the ships and noisy tourists coming and going around. What a harmonious picture of man and nature.

After Ren Minqiao, the cruise ship turned around and set foot on the return journey. At this time, another program on board began, which was a pingtan performance in the first cabin. My wife and I quickly retreated from the platform on the second floor to the cabin on the first floor, picked a good seat in the front row, crossed our legs and began to enjoy pingtan. Wu Nong's soft voice echoed in the cabin with the melodious piano sound. I can't help but close my eyes and listen quietly. I still recall the experience of this day from time to time in my mind. This is a feast from vision to taste and then to hearing. That's pure Suzhou flavor.

D2:

After a dreamless night, we ushered in the morning in Suzhou. The advantage of self-help tour is that you can choose to sleep until you wake up naturally, without any constraints. Get up at 8: 30 to wash. Check out at 9 o'clock on time, take the bag home, and we started another day's journey.

First of all, it's natural to taste the special breakfast in Suzhou. Walking from the hotel 10 minutes, we came to the "dumb bombing" at Wenjiaan 12, Linton Road. It is said to be the best fried food in Suzhou. In fact, in my opinion, it should be the most Suzhou-flavored fried. The fried food here subverts the traditional concept of fried food in Shanghai. What makes it unique is its juicy and sweet filling. If you don't like sweets, you probably won't choose here. And this sweetness is just to my wife's taste and mine. We ordered a pan-fried, 8 yuan /8. Soup is free, put in a kettle, and it is purely self-help. You can sprinkle some chopped green onion and eat it with fried food. It tastes good. Two people share eight fried ones, of course, regardless of satiety. Because we also made an appointment for the next program for breakfast today-noodles with Lu Changxing.

After eating pan-fried, walk along Linton Road. At the bus stop opposite Changfa Building, my wife and I take bus No.204, take 6 stops and get off at Fengmen Station. No.496, Amway Bridge, Fengmen Road, is the location of Lu Changxing Noodle Restaurant. Although the facade is old, I have no impression at all. Lu Changxing is a place that Suzhou locals often like to go. The traditional Suzhou red noodle soup with fine noodles is not bad for a long time, and the price is close to the people. It is really the best choice for self-help donkey friends to taste Suzhou's special breakfast. My wife ordered the special fried eel noodles, and I ordered the traditional special fried fish and braised pork combination, which is 34 yuan. The noodle soup here is delicious, the noodles are tender, and every bowl is very weighty, which makes my wife and I burp.

After eating and drinking enough, we began to plan where to go. The twin towers of Dinghui Temple are historical sites that I have always wanted to visit. Although it is an unpopular place in Suzhou, it seems to me to be a real monument and a place with a long history. Or take the 204 bus back and get off at Shuangta Station, and Dinghuisi Lane where the Shuangta is located is just around the corner. Walking into the historic Dinghuisi Lane, you can see the Twin Towers in the distance. They have stood there for more than 1000 years since the seventh year of the Northern Song Dynasty (AD 982). I bought a ticket for 8 yuan/Zhang, and my wife and I stepped into it and began to visit. Compared with Suzhou gardens, which are crowded with tourists, it seems a little deserted here. Only the blooming Chinese rose in the yard welcomes us. Across the yard, the Twin Towers are just ahead. In front of the Twin Towers stands the remains of the stone pillars of Luohan Academy. Luohan Academy was founded in the second year of Tang Xiantong (8 1 1). It was originally called Prajna Academy, and was renamed Wu Yueshi Luohan Academy in the Five Dynasties. It was destroyed by war in Xianfeng period of Qing Dynasty. Now the temple is dilapidated, and people can't help but sigh the ruthlessness of history. Fortunately, however, the two brick pagodas in the Song Dynasty have survived to this day for future generations to see. At the same time, they also bear witness to the history of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. In A.D. 1863, the famous "Suzhou Killing Cang Incident" took place in this courtyard the size of a football field. At that time, at the behest of Li Hongzhang, commander-in-chief of Huai Army, at least 30,000 surrendered Taiping soldiers were killed here. The holy land of Buddhism has experienced the tragic life in blood shed. Now, more than one hundred years have passed, and when we come back here as descendants, we can still clearly feel the heaviness of history and the cruelty of war. Living in peacetime, we are really happy.

We were about to leave the Twin Towers when we met a lovely stork in the small yard outside. The wife teased it with great interest, and the little guy responded angrily: "Hello, congratulations on making a fortune!" " Make us laugh. Two local aunts from Suzhou also joined in and chatted with us. They enthusiastically told us where Pingjiang Road was. When leaving, the stork said "goodbye" in an understanding way, which provoked everyone to turn around step by step and leave for a long time.

After bidding farewell to the Twin Towers and the heaviness of history, my wife and I walked for about 10 minutes, crossed Ganjiang East Road and came to the long-awaited Pingjiang Road Historical and Cultural Street. At the end of the street is a stone pavilion, in which the stone tablet is engraved with the layout map of Pingjiang Road in the Southern Song Dynasty 800 years ago-Pingjiang Map. It is said that Pingjiang Road has undergone nearly a thousand years of changes, and the street layout is almost exactly the same as that in ancient times, which is a miracle in the history of urban development.

Pingjiang Road, built by the river, is a typical small bridge, flowing water and small street in the south of the Yangtze River. On both sides of the street are various inns, teahouses and shops, which are good places for leisure and play. There are all kinds of stone bridges of different sizes on the river, some of which were built in the Song Dynasty, all of which are historical relics. My wife and I strolled along Pingjiang Road on the bluestone board, and suddenly found a handmade ice cream shop on the roadside. The facade of the shop is not big, but the layout is passable and the atmosphere seems to be good. A small shop also fits its name "snail shell handmade ice cream shop"-"Dojo in snail shell". At noon, the sun was shining outside, and we went in curiously while looking for a place to enjoy the cool. We were received by a young man and a woman who felt like lovers. The little girl recommended sweet-scented osmanthus yogurt and alcoholic ice cream to her wife, and the prices were reasonable in 33 yuan. So, we exchanged a petty bourgeoisie experience with the price that is close to the people. The inside of the store is also like a storefront, which is quite distinctive and looks fashionable and warm. I can feel that the hostess spent a lot of time decorating it. Farewell to the hot sun outside, my wife and I sat face to face on the sofa, listening to music, blowing air conditioning and eating handmade ice cream, not to mention how comfortable it was. Ice cream tastes good. When she left, her wife did not forget to stick her feelings on the message wall with stickers. I hope we can remember together when we come back one day.

To the north of the store is an alley named "Zhang Jiaxiang". The alley itself is unremarkable, but in my opinion, it is an indispensable stop for Suzhou tourism. Because there are two museums in the alley-Suzhou Pingtan Museum and Suzhou Kunqu Opera Museum. How can you experience the pure taste of Suzhou without local operas? Today is Sunday, and both museums have public performances. Actually, I want to go, but time is limited, so I have to give up what I should. I chose Pingtan first. Wuyuan Deep Bookstore is hidden in Suzhou Pingtan Museum, and there is a public performance every day 13: 30. For 5 yuan's tea fee, you can soak cross-legged in it for more than 2 hours, drinking small tea and listening to the opening of Su-style tanci. On the stage, there are vivid pingtan actors who interpret in pure Suzhou dialect, while under the stage, there are audiences who listen with relish and laugh from time to time. During the whole performance, your ears are full of soft words of Wu Nong, which is a great enjoyment. It was not until the words "Listen to the next story" popped out of the actor's mouth that my wife and I were brought back to reality from the story of "true and false". For this experience of listening to pingtan, we feel the same, just one word "value".

After leaving the Pingtan Museum, my wife and I went to Suzhou Kunqu Opera Museum next door. The Kunqu Opera Museum was originally a guild hall in the whole Jin Dynasty, and was built by merchants from Suzhou, Shanxi Province during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. It is the most well-preserved one among more than 65,438+000 halls and offices in Suzhou history. There is a big stage, circular vault, bright red background, black swimming gold and exquisite carving of ceiling board, which is the essence of the whole building. It's a pity that the performance of Kunqu Opera, which started on Sunday 14:00, has ended and can only be left for next time.

It's still early to bid farewell to Kunqu Museum. My wife and I rested in Pinfang Tea Room on Pingjiang Road and ordered tea and snacks, totaling more than 70 yuan. The environment in the shop is very good, but it's a pity that the food is not very delicious. The only thing that shines is "osmanthus chicken head rice". Nevertheless, in an early summer afternoon, it is a good choice to sit lazily in a teahouse and stare blankly at people coming and going on Pingjiang Road and enjoy a sense of leisure.

After sitting down to rest, it's time to say goodbye to Suzhou. My wife and I left the teahouse and walked along Pingjiang Road for about 15 minutes. We went back to the Humble Administrator's Garden of Home Inn, took our luggage, and took the No.5 tour to the railway station.

At 2011may 8 18: 35, our train D5473 started slowly and headed for Shanghai.

The two-day trip to Suzhou was short and rich, and the strong Suzhou flavor mobilized all our senses. I want to say, I love Suzhou and I will come back again!
