Jiangsu Treasure Tour! 8 Days to Explore 10 Stunning Attractions 🌈 Families, quickly grab this complete Jiangsu travel guide! From Suzhou Gardens to Nanjing's Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, check in at the most essential attractions in Jiangnan, a route personally tested and found to be super reasonable, no detours and allows for in-depth exploration~ 🏮D1 The Romance of Suzhou Gardens Although the Humble Administrator's Garden ticket is a bit pricey, it's absolutely worth it! Book in advance to avoid crowds; it's recommended to go at 7 AM. The rockery caves in the Lion Grove Garden are simply a happy paradise designed for children, and the time-honored Suzhou-style wontons + crab roe soup dumplings at the back gate of the Humble Administrator's Garden are amazing! ⛰️D2 Yuantouzhu + Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum The sunset over Taihu Lake at Yuantouzhu made me cry it was so beautiful! Remember to take a boat to Sanshan Island for panoramic photos. In the afternoon, head straight to Nanjing's Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum for the 392-step challenge; the panoramic view of Zijin Mountain from above is spectacular. The crystal dumplings at the small shop on the mountain are even cheaper than in the city~ 🌊D3 Slender West Lake + Daming Temple At Slender West Lake, you must take a sculling boat and listen to the boatwomen sing folk songs! The night view of the Twenty-Four Bridges is even more stunning. The vegetarian meal at Daming Temple next door is highly recommended; the "braised pork" made from tofu is incredibly realistic, and for 60 per person, you'll be super satisfied. 🏯D4 Zhouzhuang Ancient Town The Twin Bridges and Fu'an Bridge are beautiful no matter how you photograph them, and the fermented glutinous rice balls at Shen's Hall are incredibly delicious! It's recommended to stay overnight; after 8 PM when the tourists disperse, you'll experience the real Zhouzhuang, with lanterns reflecting beautifully in the river~ 🎑D5 Confucius Temple + Night Cruise on Qinhuai River The lights at Confucius Temple at 7 PM are so dreamy! You must try duck blood vermicelli soup and crab roe soup dumplings. For the Qinhuai River painted boat, it's recommended to take the last one (9:30 PM); the light show on both banks is incredibly stunning, and the guides will tell many unofficial historical anecdotes. 🛕D6 Jinshan Temple + Tongli Ancient Town The vegetarian noodles at Zhenjiang's Jinshan Temple are exceptional! Remember to climb to Cishou Pagoda to see the Yangtze River. Tongli Ancient Town in the afternoon is quieter than Zhouzhuang; the Suzhou-style dim sum afternoon tea at Tuisi Garden is so pleasant, and the rose-filled fermented glutinous rice cakes are a must-try! ⛵D7 Yunlong Lake + Han Portrait Stone Art Museum Cycling around Xuzhou's Yunlong Lake is super comfortable, and the sunset in front of the concert hall is breathtaking! The art museum next door has astonishing collections; the Han Dynasty stone carvings are so well preserved, and the ticket is only 30 yuan – a great value! 🏞️D8 Tianmu Lake Wellness Tour The Taigong Mountain trail at Liyang's Tianmu Lake is super healing, and you must try the fish head soup at Millennium Hotel! On your way back, remember to buy dried bamboo shoots from Nanshan Bamboo Sea; the auntie's freshly stir-fried ones are incredibly fragrant, buy five packs and get one free~ 📌Tips: 1. Many attractions in Southern Jiangsu require reservations, especially Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum and Humble Administrator's Garden. 2. Scenic area combo tickets are very cost-effective (e.g., Zhouzhuang + Tongli for 180 yuan). 3. The most beautiful time is May-June when hydrangeas bloom, but remember to bring an umbrella. 4. High-speed rail is the best transportation, with direct 1-hour connections between cities. This loop truly covers the essence of Jiangsu, balancing both cultural and natural scenery! It's 30,000 steps a day but doesn't feel tiring at all, because there's a surprise around every corner~
