This includes the 12 scenes of White Crane Temple, including: Chuanxin Cave, Miaofa Cave, Xianhe Maitreya Picture, Bell Tower, Buddha Hall, Fanghe Pavilion, Climbing Bodhi Shore, Water and Sky Buddha Kingdom, and Ascending to the Other Shore. The temple looks a bit like a small Potala Palace from a distance. Each level has different halls dedicated to different Buddhas. There is a library, cultural and creative stamps, coffee, free scripture copying, and you can also enjoy the view. About the parking lot: In Suzhou's old city, out-of-town license plates are restricted, so we found the Donghui Park Transfer Point parking lot. Then walked through the underground tunnel to the 'Pingjiangfu Grand Hotel'. Lunch: Pingjiangfu Grand Hotel, including: Double Lotus Feast Set + Three Shrimp Noodles + Signature Ginger Pine Pork Liver + Green Vegetables and Mushrooms + Fish-Flavored Eggplant + Sauce-Fried Eel Shreds. The restaurant's environment is quite OK, and there will be someone singing Pingtan during the meal. Their hotel is a chain and is considered high-end consumption here. After eating and drinking, take a walk to 'Xibei Coffee'. Order afternoon tea for a short rest. Walk to the Donghui Park Transfer Point, get on the highway, and return to Shanghai. The above is the general itinerary, I hope it will be helpful or serve as a reference for other tourists!
