There are more and more tourists who like to explore authentic minority cultures, and gradually discover Xiangcheng, a treasure land. Online celebrities also have many new punch points, which are worth savoring. Today, Xiangcheng has become an important tourist attraction in Suzhou.
(1) Yangcheng Lake legs
When I first heard the beautiful legs, I was full of curiosity and imagination about such a scenic spot. It was not until I really got here that I suddenly discovered that the source of its name was named after the shape of this place resembles a beautiful leg. At the same time, it is also one of the cradles of Wu culture, with a precious historical and cultural landscape of "Ten Wonders of Xiangcheng".
Walking on the beautiful leg island, I feel everything is so natural and comfortable. Lake scenery, pastoral scenery, trees and flowers ... no wonder every weekend, urbanites in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai like to escape to such a paradise.
Instead of asking if there are any scenic spots that must be punched in, it is better to calm down and choose a place to rest, so it is not a pleasure to walk around the lake in a daze. At present, this area has formed a certain scale and system in the theme of parent-child travel, farmhouse music and so on. All kinds of one-stop resort hotels and delicious and fun places are gathered here.
Especially in the coming autumn, it is bound to be even hotter because of the arrival of Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs. Grab the tail of summer and fly here before a big wave of people comes in!
(2) Lotus Island in Yangcheng Lake
When it comes to the second district of Yangcheng Lake, I believe that in the eyes of many people, there will be a place for Lotus Island. Similar to the naming of beautiful legs, Lotus Island is named after its appearance resembling a blooming lotus.
There is no transportation on the whole Lotus Island, and only about 300 indigenous residents keep hairy crabs here, which makes the natural scenery particularly charming. Walking along the landscape promenade by the lake, although the lotus season has passed, you can still enjoy many beautiful Bai Lianhua here.
From time to time, a large flock of birds flew over the endless lawn. At this moment, I feel so close and integrated with nature. There are many facilities for children to play on the lawn, which can free their parents' hands.
It should be noted that there is only one boat going to the island every hour, so remember to go to the dock to get detailed official information before going to the island to avoid missing the boarding time. Speaking of the pier, we have to mention the pier of Yangcheng Lake Tourism Distribution Center, which is known as "one of the most beautiful passenger stations in the world".
The appearance of this dock adopts a minimalist design style, with jagged columns staggered. From a distance, it looks like a thatched cottage by the sea, which is very holiday-like. It is also a newly-built network celebrity punching point in Suzhou, attracting countless passing tourists to take a group photo.
There are also attractions such as Yiyuan Garden, Lotus Bookstore, Parent-child Paradise and Barbecue Area. By exploring these places, you can learn more about the life of islanders. You can also bring your dear family and friends to a brand-new and different holiday trip.
(1) Suzhou Imperial Kiln Golden Brick Museum
As the first museum with the theme of "Imperial Kiln Brick" in China, Suzhou Imperial Kiln Brick Museum aims to protect the profound cultural heritage from all directions and angles through architectural organization. The whole museum takes the main hall as the main body, covering: imperial kiln site, contemporary art exchange center, remnant kiln site group and other areas.
As a special high-quality floor tile for court buildings in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, BRIC is named, and it also enjoys a lofty position in history. Through a systematic visit to the museum, we can learn more about the historical position, characteristics, uses and cultivation process of BRICS from the lecturers. Finally, we can learn to make a golden brick with our teachers in the interactive area here.
The design of the whole museum is led by the famous architect Liu Jiakun. From the entrance, you can gradually feel the design elements of network celebrity punching here. Many travelers also wear special retro clothes to take pictures, and instantly feel as if they have traveled through ancient times.
(2) Feng Menglong Village
Feng Menglong Village, located at the junction of Suzhou, Wuxi and Changzhou, has the most simple and natural rural atmosphere. I still remember that a few years ago, this village was called "Xinxiang Village". In memory of Feng Menglong, an important master of folk literature in China history, it was renamed Feng Menglong Village.
At present, Feng Menglong Village has formed a series of scenic spots such as Feng Menglong's former residence, Feng Menglong Memorial Hall and Feng Menglong Academy. Moreover, these scenic spots mentioned above are free for tourists. Through such a unique exploration tour of Feng Menglong Village, I believe you will have a deeper understanding and experience of the great historical achievements made by this great man.
Due to the simple folk customs and superior natural environment around, a series of holiday projects such as visiting museums, picking fruits, tasting farmhouses and traveling in ancient villages have been formed in Fengmenglong area. City residents rarely flee the city. Is it time to come here and relax?
(3) Five-needle knife
Wuzhen Daoyuan is located in Xiangcheng District, Suzhou City, around the business circle of Vigorous Island. It was founded in Song San and has a history of more than 800 years. Taking the legend of Gu Kaizhi as the cultural theme, combining the history and local folk customs, the Taoist temple will be built into a characteristic cultural tourist destination.
Wandering among them, there are profound cultural connotations everywhere. I happened to meet a blessing ceremony here. From the pious performances of the wizards, I can chew out their yearning and taste for the ideal life.
(4) Suzhou Second Workers' Cultural Palace
Suzhou No.2 Workers' Cultural Palace, which was officially opened to the outside world this year, integrates the functions of culture and art, physical fitness, education and training, and staff service. This is an ideal weekend place for adults and children. There are many public facilities such as theaters, basketball halls, table tennis halls, swimming pools, exhibition halls and training classrooms in the Cultural Palace to meet the needs of different groups of people.
Many local youths like to gather here. No matter what kind of fitness enthusiast you are, you can find organizations and like-minded friends here. The design here is also outstanding, and many online celebrities gather here to punch in. Especially in sunny afternoons, when the light beam is reflected to the wall through the glass window, it is also the time to shoot the most films. Don't miss it.
(5) Suzhou Second Library
As a new member of Suzhou Library, the Second Library officially opened to the public at the end of last year, and has the only large-scale intelligent integrated stack in China. The service functional areas in the museum include: Digital Experience Museum, Intelligent Stereo Stack Room, Music Library, Suzhou Literature Museum, Design Library, Children's Library, etc. Strive to create a warm and comfortable "citizen study".
The design of the library is also one of its highlights, especially the afternoon sun shines through the glass in the library, and the combination of light and shadow with literary and green exhibitions adds a different flavor to the whole Second Library.
There are also many places worth taking photos and punching in the museum, such as the entrance of the music library and the museum, which are all equipped with many fashionable, avant-garde and retro elements, which deserve your careful understanding and taste.
(1) land of fish and rice 18 stoves
Suzhou Xiangcheng's first stop for food, starting from the 18th stove in the land of fish and rice! The antique design style of this restaurant quickly attracted our attention. Came to the courtyard of the restaurant, with a landmark stage in the middle. Every night when night falls, there will be someone here to perform Chinese opera, which is very ceremonial.
The dining place can be on the outdoor terrace or in a more private and clean box. Enjoy food here, first of all, the ingredients that win at the starting line. Speaking of the signature dishes here, I'm afraid it's really hard to count: peasant grass chicken soup, shrimp in sauce, roast duck, steamed chicken soup bowl and June yellow. ...
If it's time to eat hairy crabs, it's common not to make an appointment to queue up for dinner for about half a month. Dining in such an elegant and authentic place, the per capita consumption is about 150 yuan, which is cost-effective.
(2) Yangcheng yuyin Chinese food
If you want to eat in this restaurant, if there is no local strongman to lead the way, I'm afraid it's quite easy to be turned away. Yangcheng Yu Yun, as a well-known Chinese restaurant owned by Suzhou Yangcheng Lake West Hotel, enjoys a high reputation, and its evaluation of Chinese restaurants in Yangcheng Lake area is also one of the best.
First of all, in the design style of the restaurant, it reflects its advanced style. Shooting in the outdoor area of a restaurant with Japanese style and wind design is really easy to shoot a blockbuster in minutes. Calm lake, lush green bristlegrass, quiet path, simple design house ... incredible, located in such a pure land, it is actually a farmhouse.
Don't just look at the design of the restaurant, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine here is also quite standard. Yellow bean and June Yellow are the specialties here. The crab meat is delicious and the sauce is rich and delicious, which makes me fondle it. Fish and braised pork are also the signature here. Although it looks fat, it tastes really fat but not greasy, and it melts in your mouth. There are also steamed white fish, fish secret homemade chicken soup and other products are very stable and worth recommending.
With such an elegant environment and exquisite food, the per capita consumption here will be relatively high, roughly around 250 yuan per capita. You can choose according to your favorite atmosphere and tonality. They are all very good local farmhouses.
(3) Mingya Liuzao family
This is a farmhouse located in front of Feng Menglong's former residence. Compared with the first two, this farmhouse is much smaller, and the dishes will be more authentic and closer to the people. The environment is quite quiet, which is another important reason why many people like to choose here.
Braised pork, miscellaneous fish, beef tenderloin with green pepper, braised fish, scrambled eggs … You can taste many home-cooked dishes here. Not far from the door, there are large lotus ponds and vineyards. If you slow down here and feel the breath of country life, you will find that you love the life around you more.
As a native of Guangdong, my favorite program at night is visiting the night market. Even when I came to Suzhou, I was always busy at night, looking for a place where I could wear slippers and eat and drink easily. Vigorous Island Night Market, the largest night market in Suzhou Xiangcheng, is believed to be the new favorite of many people.
The whole area of Vigorous Island Night Market is very large, which is more than many Taipei night markets we have been to before. The goods here are dazzling, everything is available, and people are overwhelmed. Although the scale of night market stalls is generally small, it is not difficult to find good things.
Fresh fruits, melons and fruits, etc. It is often cheaper than the vegetable market. Many local fruit farmers also took the initiative to apply for booths and sell goods here every night. Fun games and programs are also endless, such as game consoles and live KTV, which are all good places to gather popularity.
Tired of visiting the night market, it is better to start a snack in a small restaurant early. On the last night of this famous trip to Suzhou, we chose to go to a food stall for barbecue. In the bustling island night market, it is rare to find such a private place where you can chat with friends, drink beer and eat barbecue. Imagine a happy life like a fairy. How long has it been since you enjoyed it?
In addition to the vibrant island night market, it is like the Wang Ting night market, which is known as "Xiang Tao Town" and full of fashion and literature. And the high-speed rail metro night market, which integrates neighboring cities, lipstick art exhibition, metro food district and campus talent competition, is worth unlocking.
