Traveling through Anhui, how to enjoy a solo trip in Suzhou

Suzhou is home to the ancient city ruins of Qi County, Xiaoshankou site, and the ruins of Guta Temple. During the Zhou Dynasty, Qiyi was first established. The name 'Suzhou' originated from the Spring and Autumn period when 'the State of Song moved the State of Su here.' Su Shi, a literary figure from the Northern Song Dynasty, referred to Suzhou as 'the foremost prefecture south of the Huai River' in his poem 'Nanxiangzi·Suzhou Shangyuan.' Suzhou is an important birthplace of Chu-Han culture and Huai River culture. Attractions: 1. Suzhou Qu Fang Street Free A commercial street with Ming and Qing architectural styles, featuring Hui-style architecture, pavilions, terraces, stages, and bridges over flowing water... It's just over 400 meters from Suzhou high-speed railway station, within walking distance. There's no need to make a special trip, but the night view is beautiful. 2.
