Yushan Scenic Spot

Where to go on the weekend - the scenery of Yu Mountain is picturesque Yu Mountain, this beautiful peak located in Changshu, Suzhou, is known as the "Fairy Mountain" in the south of the Yangtze River. The forest is dyed, the maple leaves in Yu Mountain Park are very beautiful, and they are stunning At the end of the nine-curved corridor of the Guanhu Pavilion in Yu Mountain Park, the bench under the red maple, facing the pond and sitting under the tree, is like a painting.

On the first day, I headed straight to Yu Mountain and Xingfu Zen Temple~ Xingfu Zen Temple is located at the foot of Yu Mountain, very close to the Yu Mountain cable car station, and opens early. As soon as I arrived in Changshu, I went to burn incense and pray for blessings. 'The winding path leads to a secluded spot, where the Zen rooms are deep in flowers and trees', this poem describes Xingfu Zen Temple perfectly. There is a Wangyue Tower noodle shop at the entrance of the temple, which is famous. I tried the big meat noodles and mushroom oil noodles, and I feel that the big meat noodles are better, flavorful and soft! Most of the attractions in Changshu open at 8 or 8:30 in the morning and close at 4 or 4:30 in the afternoon. It is recommended to check and confirm before traveling. The cable car ride takes about 20 minutes one way, and it's quite hot on a sunny day. Fortunately, I brought a fan. The station is the Yu Mountain Sword Gate Scenic Area! Inside, you can see the Sword Pavilion, there is a platform overlooking the mountain, very beautiful~ It is said that if you go down, you can see the Three Lives Stone and inscriptions, but we were a bit tired on the first day and didn't go down to see. Looking at Yu Mountain and Monk Lake on the map, one mountain and one water, perfectly symmetrical, it's quite magical.
