Pause in the gardens of Gusu, a poetic Shantang where every step beckons a lingering glance.

Late Tang Dynasty poet Du Xunhe once wrote: 'When you arrive in Gusu, you'll see homes cushioned by the river. The ancient palaces are few, the waterways and small bridges many.' Among the many streets and alleys of Suzhou, the famous Shantang Street is acclaimed as 'the premier street of Gusu.' Come to Suzhou's Shantang! Here, you can find the picturesque scene of small bridges over flowing water and households along the banks! Every step on Shantang Street invites you to pause and look back, whether it's the reflections of the water shimmering in the sunset, the gentle Wu dialect of the locals chatting leisurely, or the small lanterns paired with white walls and black tiles. Immerse yourself in the ever-changing streetscape that unfolds before us, a 'market scroll' rich with 'stacked goods like mountains, flowing clouds and water, inviting shop signs, and brilliant as brocade clouds.' 📍Recommended Accommodation: Manting Hotel on Suzhou Shantang Street A peaceful retreat amidst the hustle and bustle, Manting Hotel is one of the few garden-style resort hotels in Suzhou, adjacent to the historic and cultural Shantang Street, close to the ancient water and land city gate - Changmen, and the bustling Shilu Pedestrian Street, just a 3-minute walk from Manting.
