Gusu City, a poetic autumn.

Walking into this ancient city, every step feels like traveling through time. Suzhou aesthetics are in full bloom here, like a beautiful painting! Let me share my 2-day autumn itinerary with you. It's truly breathtaking! 💫 Day 1: 🌿 Hanshan Temple ➡️ Lingering Garden ➡️ Xiyuan Temple ➡️ Tiger Hill ➡️ Shantang Street Day 2: 🎨 Suzhou Museum ➡️ Humble Administrator's Garden ➡️ Lion Grove Garden ➡️ Pingjiang Road ✨ Special reminders: 1️⃣ Suzhou Museum is free, but you need to make a reservation one week in advance! It is closed on Mondays and open from 9:00 to 17:00. Entry is not allowed after 16:00. 2️⃣ Humble Administrator's Garden: It is recommended to enter the garden early at around 7:30 am. The morning sun shines on the lake, creating a fairy-like atmosphere! Especially the red maple at Jianshan Tower, which is breathtakingly beautiful! 3️⃣ Xiyuan Temple tickets are very cheap. Vegetarian noodles cost only CNY 15, and vegetarian buns cost CNY 2. There are also many cute cats and pigeons to interact with! In autumn, the ground is covered with ginkgo leaves, creating a golden carpet, full of autumn vibes! 4️⃣ Tiger Hill is a representative of ultimate aesthetics. Remember to check in at the "circular frame view," where every frame looks like a scene from a painting! Don't forget to visit the Third Spring and Yixie Garden, as the scenery is also great! 5️⃣ Afterward, take a stroll along Shantang Street. A boat ride or a walk is very romantic. 🍁 Red leaf viewing tips: The best time to view red leaves is from late October to mid-December, especially in early November when the red leaves are at their most beautiful, with layers of colors. It's a must-see!
