Xiangmen: Contrasting the old & the new 🀄️✨

Xiangmen is one of the eight historic gates surrounding Suzhou’s old district which guarded the city in the past. While certain parts of the wall has been restored, the rest of it is believed to date back to around the 1660’s. Walk to the top of the wall and you’ll see the contrast between the old part and the new one. There’s also a museum on the ground floor showcasing the evolution of the city wall. If you go there in the late afternoon/ evening, the city lights and the dancing grandmas at front square bring so much life to this place! It’s a nice place to soak up some culture in a relaxed environment. Entrance ➡️ FREE How to go ➡️ Xiangmen, 相门 🚇 station，line 1. Exit 3 is the closest. #historicculture #historicallandmarks #historicplaces #historicsites #citywall #citywalk #scenicspotguide #suzhoutravel #suzhou

The Suzhou City Wall Museum is located within the southern section of the Xiangmen segment of the Suzhou City Wall

The exhibition area includes two levels, divided into six exhibition halls: 'Preface Hall,' 'Millennium Chronicle of the City,' 'Stories of the City Gates,' 'Inside and Outside the City,' 'Memories of the City Wall,' and 'Reappearance of the City Wall.' These halls showcase the historical changes and archaeological achievements of the Suzhou City Wall. The 'Millennium Chronicle of the City' hall describes the development of the Suzhou City Wall from the Spring and Autumn period to the Republic of China period. The platform-style city wall model intuitively displays the layout and structure of the Suzhou City Wall. The 'water and land adjacent, parallel waterways' double-grid city layout is the most important feature of Suzhou City. Suzhou's unique double moat setup enhances the defensive function of the city wall and also provides a hydraulic function to regulate the water levels inside and outside the city. The Suzhou City Wall is a historical context. As an important link in the memory chain of Suzhou's urban civilization, the ancient city wall has accompanied Suzhou for over 2,500 years, witnessing the Suzhou-style life of ordinary people through the long years and becoming part of the organic life of Suzhou culture. Interested friends are welcome to visit in person!

Above there is heaven, below there are Suzhou and Hangzhou!

I haven't been in Suzhou for long, but I already knew about this trail. Back then, a tea friend of mine walked the entire trail and then came to have tea with me. I greatly admired him and felt I couldn't do the whole trail myself. Therefore, walking the trail became a wish of mine. I entered the trail from Fengmen Bridge, passing through Xiangmen, Loumen, Pingmen, Qimen, Changmen, Xumen, Panmen, and finally arriving at Shemen, which is Osmanthus Park. Upon reaching Shemen, I found there was no path outside the city wall; it seemed I had to detour from the inside. I didn't feel like continuing, so I went straight back to the dormitory from Osmanthus Park. I left the dormitory at 9 am and returned around 1:30 pm. Although I didn't complete the trail 100%, I still walked the entire course. This time on the trail, I realized a problem: even though I've been in Suzhou for over 7 years, there are still many places in the city I haven't visited. I felt even more that Suzhou is indeed like a big park.

Night in Gusu | The city gates are resplendent, with the lights of thousands of homes shining together at this moment

The city gates are resplendent, with the lights of thousands of homes shining together at this moment. The gates of Gusu are covered with the fireworks of the whole city, connecting space and even transcending time. They have never gone far but continue to write the story of the ancient city as the sun and moon alternate and the light and shadows shift. Xiangmen (Picture 1️⃣——2️⃣) As the sun sets and night falls, the light at Xiangmen stretches far and wide, brilliant like stars. It's the perfect time to take a casual stroll and feel the place where the legendary swordsmith Gan Jiang once cast swords, carrying the ancient city's cultural heritage and once again painting a picture of a bright future.

Loumen (Picture 5️⃣——6️⃣) At dusk, a touch of rosy clouds hangs far across the sky. The Loumen in the east of the city is bathed in the glow of twilight, adding a sense of tranquility and warmth. When the lights are fully lit, Loumen becomes a dazzling display. The reflected ripples on the Outer City River show a different charm and allure.

A stroll along the ancient city wall of Suzhou

In the ancient city area of Suzhou, the height is strictly limited, which makes the entire ancient city area a unique existence and representative of Gusu culture. Due to the large-scale demolition of ancient city walls nationwide in the 1950s, there are not many well-preserved ancient city walls nationwide today. Within the range of the Suzhou ancient city moat, the remaining city wall is about one kilometer long. Although the length is relatively short, it still has a unique taste. 1. Panmen Scenic Area Panmen is located in the southwest corner of the ancient city, now as a toll scenic area, not open to the public for free. It has been built into a large area with historical and cultural heritage. The ticket price is 40 yuan, and the opening hours are from 8.30 in the morning until 21.00 in the evening. 2. Xiangmen City Wall Xiangmen was formerly known as Jiangmen, and this area is a concentration of craftsmen. The moat section of Xiangmen is almost the widest, so the view from Xiangmen Bridge is quite majestic. The city wall of Xiangmen has a few hundred meters left, adjacent to the Couple's Garden, Pingjiang Road and other scenic spots, it is a good place for leisurely walks in the evening. 3. Shemen and Osmanthus Park Shemen is located in the southeast corner of the entire ancient city, within Osmanthus Park. Nowadays, there are many people at night. Shemen is a city wall that was opened in the Spring and Autumn Period, it is simple and vicissitudinous, with a sense of history. 4. Pingmen City Wall This is the ancient city wall facing Suzhou Railway Station across the river. There are not many people on weekdays, but the location is excellent, guarding the north of the entire ancient city, majestic, suitable for daytime viewing.
