#Jinji Lake #Suzhou #Visit #January 2019

Jinji Lake is a fresh water lake located in the central part of Suzhou Industrial Park, Jiangsu, China. It occupies an area of 7.18 square kilometers and its average depth is about 2.5–3 meters. There are two man-made islands in the lake. Suzhou International Financial Square (Chinese: 苏州国际金融中心) is a supertall skyscraper designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates in the Suzhou Industrial Park, Jiangsu, located to the east of Jinji Lake.

Sunset walk at Jinji lake 🌅

Jinji Lake is the perfect place to spend an evening. It's a beautiful view of Suzhou's modern side. And it's free. Late afternoon start at Dongfangzhimen Gate to the East or Suzhou Centre subway stop and head out to the lake. Take your time walking and enjoying the sights or snacks around the lake. Walk over to the other side and lake, The Culture and Expo Centre, to watch the sun go down behind the Gate to the East, more commonly known as the pants/trousers building 👖 😅 There are food options on either side. It's a lovely leisurely activity. #tripblazers#summervacation#suzhou#awesomepic

Jinji Lake; a reminder of Singapore

Surrounded by beautiful walking paths on every side, Jinji lake is relatively small compared to others in the city, which means that it's also quiet of tourists. The closest metro station is just a few streets away, you can be invested in the natural landscape, whilst admiring the beautiful built up modern buildings. The restaurants in the area are positioned on islands in the lake. They are varied and flavourful, and have stunning views of the lake, thanking to the fact you're in the middle of it. It's really a peaceful moment to wonder this part of Suzhou and I highly recommend. #gooutside #urbanexplorer #awesomepic

Sunset Walk at Jinji Lake 🌇✨

I went by popular parts of Jinji Lake a lot of times, but I was pleasantly surprised by this side of the lake which is so tranquil for a walk, away from the usual crowd and such a perfect place for snapping 📸 I highly recommend going there before sunset so that you witness golden hour with this beautiful Suzhou skyline 🌇✨ There are also a few benches around to sit and relax 🌿🌱🍃 How to go there ➡️ It’s the pathway along XianDai Avenue, 现代大道，also accessible from Jinju Road 金琚路. I went by taxi. Closest 🚇 is Culture & Expo Center, 文化博览中心 #cityoverlook #citywalk #cityscapes #cityview #urbanexplorer #urbanwalk #cityview #jinjilake #sunsetview #sunsetchaser #suzhoutravel #suzhou

The beautiful Jinji lake 🚤

#createwithtrip Whenever im at the jinji lake , one thing I always try to take with me is my drone, because then I get to take amazing photos like this, took these photos from the East side of the lake, where you can see the moon harbor, Times Square and the really cool Ferris wheel! another thing that you can do on the Jinji lake would be to go on a boat cruise or if you have your own boat you can go sailing around on the lake also seen some people using paddle boards to paddle around on this lake. And another thing that you can’t really get over every time you visit this lake is in the amazing views you’re able to see so many nice spots and different sites that make for fantastic pictures. #suzhou #awesomepic #createwithtrip #travelinspiration #travel #suzhoutravel #summervacation #urbanexplorer #scenicspotguide #scenicspotphotoguide

the mysterious island on the Jinji lake!

#createwithtrip One interesting thing about jinji lake is that there are so many different areas around the lake that really look beautiful and can really be a nice spot to experience in the lake. All the different areas around the lake are covered with different parks and gardens and beautiful locations that you can either take photos or take a walk or just relax. However located in the middle of this lake is a certain mysterious island. It’s not connected to any other areas so you’d only be able to reach the spot by a boat. It’s not really a mysterious island but it’s one of the spots that I’ve never been to and it would be really interesting to visit one day.  #suzhou #awesomepic #createwithtrip #travelinspiration #travel #suzhoutravel #summervacation #urbanexplorer #scenicspotguide #scenicspotphotoguide #viewontop

The Jinshui wan bridge

this place is located at the south eastern part of jinji lake in Suzhou china. This is a place called jinshui wanzhan bridge. This is a place that I have talked about and some previous posts, and I truly have nothing bad to say about this place it’s a gorgeous location where you have an intersection of winding bridges which overlook the jinji lake from these bridges. At this place you can also see some of the very popular sights of Suzhou. Such as the IFS tower and the gate of the Orient in Suzhou China. many people come here for reasons such as recreation exercise or just taking a walk by the lake. This is also a very gorgeous location at night so you will want to check it out when you visit. #suzhou #wonderfulsights #tripmoments #scenicspotsguide

A large lake with many different parts

There are many large large lakes in China but in my opinion this is the most developed and interesting. The lake itself is huge and we decided to walk around the whole lake last winter which took around 4 – 4.5 hours. There are some good hotels around the hotel, a large bar area/ street, several communities and many restaurants. After walking around the lake for hours you really get the sense the areas have their own character. There is also a large pedestrian bridge which has been built recently making it easier to walk around the bottom side of the lake. Parking is easy as there is a large car park at the north side of the lake.

Ever visited this Bridge on the Jinji lake?

Around the south eastern region of the Jinji lake, lies this magnificent bridge. for a while this spot was under construction and I had no idea that anything as crazy as that was being built. however one evening I was riding my scooter along the road and I caught a glimpse of this amazing location and had to stop. the next morning i set out very early and this time came with my camera gear and drone and I was able to get so amazing shots. the name of this place is called jinshui wan bridge. this is a place where many people come in the early morning for a walk or a jog, and also in the evening time it’s a whole new experience! #momentsmission #travelinspiration #christmasgiveaway #unforgettableexperiences #scenicspotguide #urbanexplorer

Sunset walk at Jinji lake Suzhou 🌅

If you go down to the southern part of the jinji lake you will come upon the breathtaking location and that is the ligongdi area. it is an extremely beautiful and high class area from which you can watch the sun set. On this day I went for coffee in one of the many coffee shops in this area, and afterwards I decided to pick my camera and take as may shots as I could of this area and to be honest I didn’t have to look too far. you have a great view of the gate of the orient, and the IFS tower as well. When walking around I also noticed quite a number of people walking and strolling around this beautiful area trying to either get a workout in, or to simply absorb the serene energy. #momentsmission #scenicspots #christmasgiveaway #luxuryhotel #unforgettableexperiences

Exploring the beautiful jinji lake.

I’m really lucky to stay in a city that has such a place as this, this place is called the jinji lake as is a ne is the most iconic places to visit in Suzhou, the jinji lake is surrounded by many different parks and jogging trails that you could visit , it’s also near many of the famous places in Suzhou such as the gate to the east building and the IFS tower and many more. it’s a fantastic place to watch the sun go down, and many places you go around jinji lake is filled with energy and excitement. this is a spot that can be visited at any time of day so, you can get a different experience every time you visit. so make sure you check it out if you’re ever in Suzhou!#suzhou #scenicspotguide #urbanexplorer #lakes #travelinspiration

Check out this Unique Jinji lake Wharf!

This is definitely not a common sight to see except you live in Suzhou China of course, If you’re ever in the Ligong Di area of Suzhou, which is on the south side of jinji lake, be sure to check out this amazing location! I stumbled upon it while taking a ride around the area, and one thing I noticed is that it’s almost never crowded. It’s a very good spot to have an evening stroll or an early morning yoga or meditation session. The calm and peaceful waves really heighten the serenity and it’s a great spot to watch the sunset. The only down side I would say at this point is the fact that there is quite a bit of construction going on in the lake and around the area, but this is only temporary, and wasn’t too much of a problem for me! #suzhou #jinjilake #historicculture #scenicspotguide

Gate of the East

Never have I ever been on a such tall door that shows the gateway to the East. With a whooping height of nearly 300 metres, this archway 🌆 is a symbolic representation of that it has opened gates to the economic prosperity of the city. It also tells you that you've reached the city centre of Suzhou, right in the middle of the CBD (Central Business District). With a nice evening to spend in front of the Jinji lake (as it is in the shape of heart of a chicken 🐓 😂 ), people throng here every evening. They also do have a nice laser lit water dance🎊 show, which is quite an amusement for kids and families. Situated right above the Dongfang station, you can easily reach here by 🚈 and coming out there are lot of amazing food options. A perfect evening getaway if you're living in Suzhou #suzhoutravel #couplestrip #hipsterbookstore#romanticrestaurant#culturalattraction#camping#infinitypool#themepark#lakes

Vibrant cities

Great cities always have their vibe radiating miles away from them. Most plausibly, with orient tower in Suzhou they want to mimic the Oriental pearl tower of Shanghai. Giving us the nice skyline view 🤠 and a total reflection 🪞 of economic development that the city has been undergoing. Quite known as one of the most beautiful city in China, Suzhou even in the city center has some pleasant lakes. Around which they've built these skyscrapers to aid the aesthetic look of it. We spent the evening in the rooftop bar of W hotel 🛍️, sinking in both of whiskey sour and cool breeze. #urbanexplorer #historicculture#culturalattraction#themeparks#lakes

Explore Suzhou Ancient City in a Different Way: 20 Essential Tips to Avoid Tourist Traps

Suzhou/20 Essential Tips to Avoid Tourist Traps❗ - You should always make a trip to the south of the Yangtze River. Suzhou is like the gentle moonlight of the south. - ✅After many trips to Suzhou within a year, here are 20 tips to avoid tourist traps, hoping to provide some references for friends. - 1. Suzhou does not have an airport, but it has two train stations: Suzhou Station and Suzhou North Station. 2. Suzhou North Station is a high-speed train station, which is relatively far from the city center. It is recommended to get off at Suzhou Station, which is in the city center and more convenient for transportation. 3. The roads in Suzhou are mostly straight, making it easy to navigate, so even those with a poor sense of direction won't easily get lost. 4. Pingjiang Road is the most well-preserved ancient river street in Suzhou Ancient City. Don't forget to visit Da Ru Lane, Lilac Lane, and Niu Family Lane. 5. Besides Pingjiang Road, you can also take a sculling boat ride on Shantang Street. 6. There are many gardens in Suzhou, and you must visit the Humble Administrator's Garden. If time permits, Canglang Pavilion is also worth a visit. 7. For those who plan to visit gardens at night, it is recommended to go to the Master of Nets Garden, where there is a live Kunqu opera performance. 8. Suzhou Museum is open from 9 am to 5 pm, closed on Mondays, and stops admitting visitors after 4 pm. 9. For Shantang Street, take Metro Line 2 to Shantang Street Station and exit from Exit 3, which is closer. 10. For Suzhou's night scenery, besides Shantang Street, you can also visit Jinji Lake. There is a musical fountain show on weekends starting at 7:30 pm, lasting 20 minutes. 11. Eslite Bookstore is next to Jinji Lake, featuring the most beautiful staircase for a photo opportunity. 12. You can listen to Kunqu opera and Pingtan at the Suzhou Kunqu Museum, Pingtan Museum, Shantang Kunqu Theatre, Shantang Academy, etc. 13. Besides Zhouzhuang, Mudu and Tongli ancient towns are also worth staying for a few days. 14. The entrance fee for Lingyan Mountain in Mudu is only 1 yuan, which is an absolute bargain for a scenic spot. 15. For late-night snacks in Suzhou, you can go to Jingde Road Wu Qu Fang, Nanyuan Road Nanyuan Bridge South, and other places in the city center. 16. If you're going to the Twin Towers Market, be prepared to queue. If you're going just for the sake of checking in, it's not highly recommended. 17. If you want to eat noodles in Suzhou, I personally recommend Tongde Xing for its authentic taste. The Mengzi Cross-Bridge Rice Noodles from old Suzhou are also worth trying. 18. The signature dish, Squirrel-shaped Mandarin Fish, is really good. It's my personal favorite, and you can hardly go wrong with it. 19. For accommodation, you can choose to stay near Pingjiang Road, which is close to the attractions. 20. For those buying souvenirs, you can consider purchasing some Suzhou-style pastries and various local candies.
