Suzhou three-day self-guided tour guide

To be honest, I am a little nervous after three days of lobbying. Don’t be greedy for more. I will recommend you some important attractions in Suzhou. I hope you have a perfect vacation.

1. On the first day of your trip to Suzhou, you can take this route: Arrive at the train station in the morning, take Tour 5 or 529 to the Humble Administrator’s Garden (one of the four famous gardens in the world) which is quite close to the train station. Cultural heritage, the first of Jiangnan gardens, a national key cultural relics protection unit, and a national special tourist attraction), now in the off-season, the ticket is 50 yuan/person. Then in the afternoon, you can take Tour 2 from the Humble Administrator's Garden to Tiger Hill (the first scenic spot in Wuzhong, Su Dongpo said, "It would be a pity not to visit Tiger Hill in Suzhou"). The off-season ticket is now 40 yuan per person. Then after the tour, if conditions permit, you can take a small boat in Huqiu, pass by Shantang River, and arrive at Qili Shantang Street. It should be evening by this time. The night view of Shantang Street is very beautiful. You can fully appreciate it. The beautiful scenery of Jiangnan water town.

2. Go to Suzhou Amusement Park on the second day. If you take your time in Suzhou Amusement Park, you can spend a whole day there. Considering that playing in Suzhou Amusement Park is quite tiring, I put it on the next day:) Tickets are 60 yuan/person.

3. On the third day, I think I can slow down the pace and slowly experience the city of Suzhou. Buy some souvenirs for your family and friends to truly feel the joy of travel.
