Zhouzhuang Ancient Town One-Day Tour Guide! Must-see!

We chose Zhouzhuang for our trip to Wuxi and Suzhou! I recently organized the photos from my previous trips, and to preserve these memories in a different way, I made an effort to write down my experiences! Since we were traveling leisurely, the route might have been a bit roundabout, but the focus was on a genuine travel experience. 🚩Day One: Arrival in Wuxi (Night tour of Nanchang Street) 💫After dropping off our luggage, I couldn't wait to taste the local cuisine. I chose a restaurant that's a favorite among locals. As a northerner, I wasn't quite used to it, but I recommend everyone try the 🔥Drunken Crab🔥, which we ended up eating at almost every meal. 💫Taking advantage of the night, we went to Nanchang Street. It took us about an hour to stroll through, and the overall impression was average, mainly because we wanted to take a boat ride but couldn't find a place to board. 🚩Day Two: Huishan Ancient Town and Turtle Head Isle of Taihu Lake 💫Huishan Ancient Town: There are many local specialty restaurants and snacks, and the 'You Zanzi' can save a northerner's stomach! 💫Turtle Head Isle: Located in the center of Taihu Lake, it is known as the 'Paradise of Oriental White Storks' and is one of the most beautiful attractions in Taihu Lake. 🚩Day Three: Lingshan and Nianhua Bay 👉We visited the Lingshan Grand Buddha and were amazed by the Buddhist art. 👉In the afternoon, we went to Nianhua Bay, 'a town full of Zen spirit with a unique architectural style,' according to the official promotion. It felt a bit Zen-like, but I didn't experience much of it. The artificial atmosphere was strong, and we stayed overnight in Nianhua Bay. In the morning, tour guides with loudspeakers would provide wake-up services. The food there was barely passable. Not recommended!!! 🚩Day Three: Hanshan Temple, Shantang Street, Suzhou Gardens, Humble Administrator's Garden 👉Hanshan Temple is one of China's top ten famous temples, known worldwide because of the Tang Dynasty poet Zhang Ji's 'Mooring by Maple Bridge at Night.' The yellow walls are very impressive, and you can ring the bell in the bell tower and feed the koi by the pond! 👉Shantang Street is an ancient street lined with quaint buildings and various snack shops🍝. We stayed on Shantang Street, which I do not recommend at all!!! It's very inconvenient for travel. It's better to visit in the morning when there are fewer people, and it's quite interesting to see the local legends and ancient buildings. 👉The Humble Administrator's Garden and the Suzhou Museum are adjacent, so you can book a time in advance on the official website and choose a half-day to visit. 🚩Day Four: Zhouzhuang Zhouzhuang is an ancient water town with a history of over nine hundred years, known as 'China's Number One Water Town.' 💫Here you can find the Twin Bridges, Shen Hall, Zhang Hall, and many other famous historical sites, and you can also take a boat to tour the ancient town and experience the unique charm of the water town. 💫Zhouzhuang is really a lifestyle. If you like a slow pace, you can try staying here for a few more days, drinking tea, sitting on a rocking boat, and daydreaming by the river!
