Before you go to Suzhou, listen to my advice!

Suzhou gives me a very healing feeling, as life here moves at a slow pace. Taking a break without feeling guilty is possible. Sitting on a small bridge in the Pingjiang Road historical district (free) and watching an old man play chess across the river, young people chatting and laughing on a boat, and girls in qipao taking photos under the trees is very comfortable and leisurely... (For sisters who love photography, you can buy a qipao or Hanfu before going to Suzhou, it's very photogenic) The local delicacies are made delicately and exquisitely, with a dazzling variety of pastries and diverse fillings, giving a sense of a small sparrow with all its vital organs. (Too much can be cloying, so taste in moderation) The noodles are slightly sweet, and the dishes tend to be sweet as well. If you're not used to it, prepare some chili oil or Lao Gan Ma in advance, otherwise, after a few days here, your blood sugar will soar! This is advice from someone from Hubei. The main attractions are gardens, which best represent Suzhou's aesthetics. The structure of the garden construction and some of the bonsai shapes are very characteristic of Suzhou style, and you will be captivated by the classical Chinese beauty here. The Lion Grove Garden and the Humble Administrator's Garden are similar in style, and you only need to visit one. They both require an entrance fee of 70/80 RMB. The commercial streets are mainly beautiful at night. In the evening, Shantang Street (free) is very crowded, with alleys on both sides of the small river packed with people. There are snacks, pubs, music, etc. (Be mindful of your belongings! With the crowds, it's easy to get separated from friends.) After staying in Suzhou for four days, it was very pleasing to the eyes, as I really like the scenery and the classical atmosphere here. The only thing is that I'm not quite used to the sweet taste of the food, but everything else is great
