Follow this guide to discover the romance of Suzhou in February! Itinerary Day 1: Gardens and Ancient City Morning: Head straight to the Humble Administrator's Garden.

very eye catching resort

The hotel is approximately 31km away from Kunshan South Railway Station. After a long day of sightseeing, guests can retire to the comfort of the hotel. According to our guests, the location of this hotel is one of the best around. I found such a good place around Shanghai very accidentally, and it is also very popular! Considering repeatedly choosing to travel before a long holiday, the facts have proved very wise. I booked four rooms in one go, each with a balcony, bathtub and shower room. The balcony is very large, facing the lake view, and it is very eye-catching. The service is warm and thoughtful and grounded. 非常偶然地发现上海周边有这样一个好去处,而且还很热门!考虑再三选择了长假前出行,事实证明非常明智。 一口气订了四间房,每间都有阳台、浴缸和淋浴房。阳台很大,面朝湖景,花团锦簇,十分养眼。 服务热情周到,接地气。 #urbanexplorer #summervacationtravel#travelguide#beautifulsunsets#bestislandtraveltowns#infinitypool#lakes

Zhouzhuang

Zhouzhuang. One of the six ancient towns in Jiangnan. The architecture in Jiangnan always has an ink-and-wash feel. Walking through it feels like being in a painting. However, compared to Xitang, Zhouzhuang makes you feel a little less excited and love at first sight. Yes, Xitang is like a lover; you will fall in love in a second, become obsessed, and be reluctant to leave. But Zhouzhuang, like a delicate and pretty girl, is not bad at all. You will appreciate it and think it is very good, but you just can't fall in love with it. Because it is not the peak season, there are not many people. A few tourists stroll leisurely in the ancient town, without the annoyance of crowds, making the heart calm instantly. The whole ancient town is free from the noisy clamor, with quiet tourists, quiet shops, quiet small rivers, and quiet boats. On both sides of the ancient town are various shops, selling very ordinary things, not exquisite. The architecture of the ancient town is really beautiful. The contrast of gray, white, and black, the integration of blue bricks and tiles, and the white walls as a backdrop, with the mottled traces left by the long history, make one wonder what the hustle and bustle or desolation of another time and space might have been like. The roads in Zhouzhuang are paved with stone slabs. Fourteen ancient bridges face each other and are connected. Fu'an Bridge and Shuang Bridge are very famous. Fu'an Bridge is the only remaining three-dimensional bridge-tower integrated building in the water town of Jiangnan. The bridge tower rises by the waves, facing each other from afar, with extraordinary momentum. Most of the architectural styles in Zhouzhuang are from the Ming and Qing dynasties. Black awnings swaying, riverside homes, soft Wu dialect, small bridges and flowing water. For a moment, the heart is rippling, wanting to stay and enjoy this moment of tranquility, without asking about the east or west, quietly being a pure person. It is said that Liu Yuxi and Lu Guimeng once lived in Zhouzhuang. I think for them, Zhouzhuang was also their paradise to escape from troubles.

Kunshan | Just meeting is wonderful

Kunshan | Just meeting is wonderful

It's wonderful, I encountered flocks of migratory birds along the way, constantly circling in the sky. I inadvertently captured them in my photos. I passed a building like a bell tower, on Zhenchuan Road, and took pictures of the Golden Eagle International Plaza. There's a little tavern called 'Sugar Sister' by the roadside, where you can drink tea and chat with the owner for an afternoon. I had a pastry from Master Bao, and one was enough to satisfy me. Kunshan, just meeting is wonderful.
