    Tongli Ancient Town, like many other water towns in southern China, features small bridges, flowing water, white walls, and black tiles, with numerous mansions, gardens, and former residences of famous figures. Among them, the Pearl Tower Scenic Area, Gengletang, and Tuisi Garden are particularly noteworthy.

    Pingjiang Road, located in the ancient city of Suzhou, is a historical old street along the river. Entering Pingjiang Road, I feel just fine. Blue stone road, white walls and tiles, rocking boats, Suzhou Pingtan, many people drink tea, chat, talk, taste food on the shore... enjoy the beauty of life.

    The ancient canal in Suzhou is definitely worth experiencing. The biggest highlight is that it perfectly blends classical and modern, showing the unique charm of Suzhou water town. The ancient buildings on both sides of the ancient canal are well preserved, with white walls and black tiles, scattered, making people seem to travel through time and space. By boat tour, you can feel the tranquility and elegance of the ancient canal up close, the river is clear, the trees are shaded, and every scene is like a beautiful ink painting. The ancient canal at night is even more unique, and the ancient bridges and waterways under the lights are particularly charming. Suzhou Ancient Canal is not only a picturesque place to visit, but also an important window to understand Suzhou's history and culture, it is worth a visit.

    I chose to visit Panmen at night, which had a unique charm. The entire park was brightly lit and lively in the evening, but unfortunately, there weren't many visitors. There were no performances when I went, but it was still quite enjoyable to stroll around. I imagine it would be very bustling during holidays.

    Yan Family Garden is quite large; every corner and every glance reveals a beautiful view. Hongyin Mountain Villa is next best, while Ancient Pine Garden is the smallest, but you can see Suzhou embroidery there. Mudu Ancient Town is suitable for a leisurely 4-5 hour stroll.

    Visit the Humble Administrator's Garden at dusk and encounter "Humble Administrator's Garden", an unforgettable private immersive experience. There is no crowd of day tourers, and the experience is very good. When dusk shrouds the garden and the lights come on, the Humble Administrator's Garden fades away the noise of the day, and under the careful carving of light and shadow art, it shows a different kind of mystery and elegance. The tour route is carefully designed, and every landscape becomes the stage for the story. The travel butler is dressed in ancient costumes, and his gentle voice spreads the humanistic stories of Jiangnan and the historical origins of the garden. Next to Xiangzhou, the actors used water as a curtain and performed the elegant life of ancient literati with graceful dance postures, accompanied by the melodious sound of the guqin, making people seem to travel back a thousand years ago. This performance not only made me feel the beauty of the garden, but also made me deeply appreciate the profound heritage of Jiangnan culture, a double feast of vision and soul.

    I visited Suzhou Amusement Park's Forest World this summer. The park is built around real mountains and water, and the surrounding forest environment is very comfortable. The misting cooling system is a thoughtful touch, and it's great for taking photos. However, the overall fun factor of the rides is somewhat average. Whether it's the thrilling roller coasters and drop towers, or the family-friendly carousel and fantasy experiences, the designs are quite conventional, lacking any truly innovative or eye-catching features. The variety of rides isn't extensive, leading to a sense of repetition and making the rides less memorable. However, there are ample rest areas and reasonably priced food, making it suitable for a casual stroll with children. If you're looking for novel and exciting rides, you might find it lacking. It's more suitable for visitors who prefer a relaxed and natural environment.

    [Sun] Warm autumn sun 🍂 Changshu Shanghu Scenic Area. The water forest is vibrant with color. 👭🏻 Gently glide into the forest on a bamboo raft. The water reflects the overlapping shadows of the trees, sunlight filters through the redwood leaves, casting dappled patterns. Watch the water birds fly by and the mist swirl around. It's like being in an oil painting; the relaxed atmosphere of this fairytale forest is a unique kind of comfort.
