Things to do in Kunshan

It wasn't peak season, so it was a great place to stroll around. There were fewer people, and more seating options at the back. Seating was limited at the beginning. Tea shops were a bit pricey, but that's to be expected since it's a tourist area. There are plenty of restaurants near the exit, so you can choose according to your needs. Just ask about the prices beforehand; there are several ticket options, but they're all reasonably priced.

Jinxi is known for its "thirty-six bridges and seventy-two kilns," with the iconic Ancient Lotus Bridge spanning Wubao Lake, its reflection creating a picturesque scene perfect for photos. The combined ticket includes access to multiple sites such as the Ancient Brick and Tile Museum, Lianchi Zen Temple, Xuanjuan Hall, and the former site of the Chenmu District Office. The cluster of museums is a major highlight, offering rich cultural content. The ancient town has a strong local atmosphere, with many locals and minimal commercialization. A stroll along the river, enjoying the lake breeze, and exploring for 2-3 hours is just right. Highly recommended for those who appreciate a tranquil water town.

Qiandeng Ancient Town is a "living" ancient town, full of history and everyday life. The Gu Yanwu Former Residence Patriotic Education Base, the Gu Jian Former Residence and the ancient stage showcasing the origins of Kunqu Opera, and the bluestone paths of North Street and South Street all present its unique ancient town characteristics.

I always thought I'd been to Luzhi before, but it felt very unfamiliar today. I wonder if my previous assumptions were just a misperception. There's a strong scholarly atmosphere here; the tranquility isn't just literal, it's on a higher level. Even during the National Day holiday, it wasn't crowded, though. Luzhi has a rich cultural heritage that you'll feel when you go there.

Absolutely stunning garden – a must-visit! The garden was absolutely stunning! It was huge, and we ended up exploring it for so long. There were quite a lot of people, but the size of it really makes up for it because many places were still empty and absolutely beautiful. We also loved exploring the bonsai tree exhibition, which was very cool! It's such a nice spot to unwind, relax, and just enjoy the surroundings. I would really recommend it to friends.

There were so many people during the New Year's Day holiday. I queued for almost 3 hours. Of the total 3 hours for the visit, more than half an hour was spent waiting for clothes and changing. If you exceed the time limit, you have to pay 100 yuan. The time limit is unreasonable. It should be calculated based on the visit time, not the time for changing clothes. The queue time is too long during holidays when there are many people. It is not worth it.

The "Extreme Speed" ride is worth seeing. For the brave, there are drop towers, roller coasters, and other rides. There are also many options for younger children. If you're in the area, it's worth a visit; it's better than those ancient towns.

The experience was great, and the kids really enjoyed it. We bought a skiing and snow play package. The kids learned quickly; after only falling twice, they were skiing normally again. Three hours is about enough if you don't ski much. We had lunch at the snow-view restaurant at noon. 😅
