Lazybones who can't understand complicated strategies, please come in💢||| I chose these four locations because they are close to each other, near Suzhou Station, surrounded by subways, and convenient for transportation. There's everything for eating, drinking, and shopping, and a budget of one to two hundred yuan is enough. (For those like me who arrive at Suzhou Station🚄 and are on a one-day tour, I suggest copying the order directly, so you don't have to backtrack.)
1️⃣ Xiyuan Temple
Transportation: Take a taxi from Suzhou Station to Xiyuan Temple💰12🚗

I think Xiyuan Temple is the best attraction in Suzhou! There is no particularly strong commercial atmosphere here. The ticket is 5 yuan and the Mitsubishi is also sent. There are many turtles, fish and cute stray cats in the temple. It is like a god's blessing. You can also faintly hear the monks chanting. It is really the most pleasant memory to explore this day! Recommend to everyone!
Xiyuan Temple personally feels that it is worth visiting. The temple itself is quiet and solemn. Although there will be a lot of people, it is very orderly. It is enough to go around for about half an hour to an hour. The scenery is also very good. There are many stray cats living in the temple and living in harmony with people. Form a beautiful picture, eating a vegetarian meal here is also a very good choice
Xiyuan Jiezhuang Lv Temple was built from the Yuan Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty (1264-1294), formerly known as Guiyuan Temple. At the end of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, Qing Xu Tai of Taibu Temple converted the already declining Guiyuan Temple into a house garden, called Xiyuan. After Xu Tai's death, his son Xu Rongshe Xiyuan was a temple, and he invited the 21st generation of the ancestral master Maolin lawyer to stay in Ming Chongxu in eight years. The monastery has since become the ceremonial venue of the ceremonial temple, and changed its name to the ceremonial temple. In the ten years of Qing Xianfeng, the ceremonial temple was destroyed in the military affairs. During the Qing Guangxu period, Guanghui Master rebuilt the Domain, and built the Temple of Heavenly Kings, Daxiong Palace, Luohan Hall, release pool and Anshen facilities. For 15 years in the Republic of China, the architectural scale of the temple was formed and the statues inside the temple were completed.
There is a time limit for the five yuan ticket event~ copying scriptures and eating vegetarian noodles can also be
The commercial atmosphere is not heavy, very natural temple. There are also gardens and 500 Luohan inside. 500 Luohan is full of shock. Great! Vegetarian noodles are also delicious, and there are vegetable bags. Now the New Year also sends free spring couplets and calendars.
Suzhou Xiyuan Temple is also called Jiezhuanglu Temple, at No. 18 Xiyuan Lane, Lingering Road. There is a temple in the garden, the garden is the temple view. At the earliest, it was called Guiyuan Temple. During the Ming Jiajing years, it was changed to a private garden and called Xiyuan. During the Chongqi period, it was renamed Jiezhuanglu Temple. In Qingxianfeng ten years. Destroyed by soldiers and fires. It was only restored during the Guangxu years. I recommend everyone to focus on: Zhaobi, Fude Bridge, Wisdom Bridge, Yuci Archway, Shanmen Temple, 500 Luohan, Qianshou Guanyin.
