Many times I had the desire to check inside this iconic Fangta tower but never had the chance. Finally, I made it. visiting Fangta Tower and taking beautiful pictures there would be an incredible experience. From the tower's intricate designs to the lush landscapes surrounding it, there are endless opportunities for stunning photography. The tower's rich history and cultural significance only add to the beauty of the experience, making it a must-visit destination for anyone who appreciates ancient architecture and natural beauty. It is big inside so, don't be fool by its outside look. By the way, there is a noodle shop outside the main entrance (right side). See the last picture. If you would like to try local noodles, this is the best in the city so far I found. There are many choices. Try `Dry Fish Noodles` (Baoyu Mian) which is served with handmade noodles with soup and dry fish. You can add egg fry and some toppings (ginger and coriander) Thank me later 😋😂 #fangtatower #changshu #suzhou #touristsattraction

In the dream of Jiangnan, there is always an ink painting of Changshu. "Seven streams all flow into the sea, and ten miles of green mountains half enter the city." This graceful little town is like a melodious piano piece, humming softly in the long river of time. The new landmark Chongyan specialty restaurant and bar that became popular in February is officially open for business! The early spring of the Snake year brings warm weather, making it a wonderful time to visit Changshu to enjoy the scenery. The colorful Yushan Mountain is fascinating, and strolling through the mountains and forests, you will see winding paths, towering ancient trees, and dappled sunlight. In the Xingfu Temple, Buddhist chants can be heard everywhere, pilgrims come in an endless stream, and koi fish swim in the pond, evoking the laughter of young people sitting by the pond. Shang Lake has clear, sparkling water and is surrounded by mountains. The lake and mountains complement each other, and the scenery is very charming, moving and beautiful. A small boat cuts through the lake and travels through the water forest. The red maples and metasequoia trees on both sides interweave to create a picturesque picture that is moving. In the afternoon, the golden ginkgo trees, fiery red maple leaves and the towering square tower in Fangta Park make people linger and stop here. At dusk, we stayed in Qinhu Town, living by the water, at the Changshu Longteng Hilton Hotel on the shore of Qinhu Lake in Changshu, and went to the Chongyan Specialty Restaurant and Bar, which opened in February, for a big meal. It was a happy early spring feast. Chongyan Specialty Restaurant and Bar looks like a modern luxury cruise ship moored on the north bank of Qin Lake. Its streamlined appearance and transparent structure on all four sides not only incorporate the charm of mountains and rivers, but also embodies the beautiful vision of "smooth sailing". The restaurant cleverly uses large floor-to-ceiling windows to provide a very broad view, vividly demonstrating the building's broad-mindedness and infinite inclusiveness of the city and nature, and a place to enjoy delicious food and the sunset. The beautiful scenery of Yushan Mountain and Qin Lake is unobstructed and makes people feel relaxed and happy. Chongyan specialty restaurant and bar has a unique spatial shape, which resembles a flying saucer perched at an airport, full of a sense of technology and the future. It has become a dreamland in the Jiangnan clouds for this spring outing, where you can enjoy the city street view and Qin Lake scenery. The name of the restaurant Ember actually literally means "embers, afterglow, and residual heat". Here, the quick cooking method is abandoned, and the steak is carefully grilled over a slow fire to retain the original flavor and tenderness of the steak. At the same time, Chongyan Restaurant has a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. You can wear casual clothes and come here to enjoy delicious food with your family, friends and team. The chef cooks in the open kitchen, which is surrounded by 270-degree transparent glass and overlooks the night view of the city, which contrasts with the slender waist of Changshu TV Tower. Standing on the top of Changshu Qinhu Lake, you can enjoy the tranquility of Qinhu Lake. The night scene of Qin Lake outside the window is as quiet as still water. Inside Chongyan, there are slightly tipsy wine glasses and exquisite food. Here, people can chat about various aspects of life and encounter the beauty of each other inadvertently. Super popular pre-meal bread The recipe is the classic Italian bread recipe, which goes through several very important steps: fermentation and baking. The three types of breads available before meals are ciabatta, crispy strips, and thin crackers. Ciabatta - Ciabatta, shaped like slippers, is made from regular wheat flour, water, salt, extra virgin olive oil and brewer's yeast and has a crunchy crust and a soft interior. As for the puff pastry, it is made of puff pastry and some Parmesan cheese is put in it. There are sesame seeds in the crispy snacks, which make them fragrant and crispy, so the taste is completely different and complements each other. Finally, it is baked at 180° in the oven to produce a very fluffy texture, crispy on the outside and loose on the inside. Dipped in olive oil and balsamic vinegar, it has a very delicate, salty taste. Prologue Start on Table Cold   Marinated Herbs Fresh Salmon with Sliced ​​Fennel, Endive, Mango, Olives Served with Orange Passion Fruits Dressing The salmon meat is very firm and chewy, with a unique seafood flavor. Mixed Grilled Roots Vegetable Mixed with Berries Salad withBurrata Cheese   JAMON SERRANO Sliced, Smoked Round Ham Sliced, Fried Squids with Tartar Sauce, Sliced ​​Salami Egg Frittata Served with Honey Melon   Soup   Classic Style Bouillabaisse   Use silver cod as the base soup, and then add the soup from various seafood. The scallops are specially selected from Canada, where the waters are clear and clean without pollution, so Canadian scallops are large, juicy, very plump and taste very good. Black tiger shrimp, the premium black tiger shrimp is marinated and grilled, with a unique aroma, and the meat is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Main   Pasta Spaghetti with Bacon Mushroom Anchovies Pink Sauce   Australia Rib-eye Steak with Van Tomato, Rosemary Black Pepper Sauce The chef team marinated the beef with olive oil and special spices, such as a little balsamic and thyme, to make the beef more flavorful. There are two ways to cook mature steak, one is grilling and the other is braising. The flavor of braising is more unique because it has the Maillard reaction, which gives the steak a fragrant feeling and a charred texture, while the meat is tender and juicy. Dry aging is stored in a refrigerator at 4-5 degrees Celsius, in a special dry aging refrigerator. In the mobile kitchen, you can see the steak being fried. Seafood Platter Grilled Garlic Flavor Oyster, Grilled Cod Fish Fillet With Grilled Asparagus The cod is marinated and then seasoned. Various spices are used, such as tiaocao, and various dry spices, sea salt and sugar. After being marinated for a day, the seafood is shaped. The grilled seafood is fresh and tasty. Even the bell peppers inside are delicious and juicy. The chef uses top-grade bell peppers, which are also local ingredients. The asparagus is also a local ingredient, so it tastes very fresh and is full of the characteristics of local ingredients. Dessert Sweet   Panna Cotta Raspberry Gel with Mango Passion Fruit Burst Beads   Panna Cotta is as smooth as silk and melts in your mouth, with a hint of vanilla in the rich milky aroma. The texture is soft and dense, between pudding and mousse. It is cool and refreshing after refrigeration. It is mainly composed of cream and milk, sweet but not greasy, with a distinct sweet and sour fruity aroma. The slight astringency of raspberries is balanced by sugar, which is refreshing and relieves greasiness. Passion Fruit & Mango Popping Boba, with a thin outer shell wrapped in tropical juice, bursts the moment you break it, releasing a rich fruity aroma. The collision of the sourness of passion fruit and the sweetness of mango, the tropical flavor instantly activates the taste buds and adds interest to the dessert. A trio of flavors: the smoothness of the milk jelly, the elasticity of the jelly, and the bursting feeling of the popping beads, layer by layer. The taste is balanced between sweet and sour, with the rich milky aroma complementing the fresh fruity acid.

The plum blossoms in the ancient buildings of Yenching Garden have recently reached their peak bloom, a must-see for flower lovers! As you step into the courtyard, the delicate fragrance of plum blossoms fills the air. At the back of the courtyard, three plum trees stand side by side. Among them, the Green Calyx Plum, as if touched by early spring, boasts tender green calyxes supporting pure white petals, exuding a fresh and elegant charm. Next to it, the wintersweet, with its golden blossoms covering the branches like twinkling stars, shines brightly under the winter sun.

In the busy pace of life, weekend time is always particularly precious, and a unique dining experience can add a different color to this precious time. Upon hearing that a super fashionable western restaurant, Chongyan Restaurant and Bar, had just opened at Changshu Longteng Hilton Hotel, I went there with great anticipation, ready to embark on a wonderful journey on the tip of my tongue this weekend night. Enter the hotel and go to the 12th floor. Then, through the garden of the lobby bar, you can arrive at Chongyan Restaurant accompanied by the sunset! The simple yet elegant design elements, looking at Qin Lake and the TV Tower opposite, make people relax instantly. The 12th floor is the bar, the area for foreign liquor, cocktails and live band performances. The lighting is soft and romantic. The bartenders skillfully wave the utensils in their hands to mix colorful and fragrant cocktails. The band's performance was wonderful, and the soothing music flowed in the air, blending perfectly with the relaxed and pleasant atmosphere around it, creating a perfect prelude to the dinner that was about to begin. Moving from the 12th floor to the steak restaurant on the 11th floor, the unique charm of Chongyan Restaurant is once again revealed. As soon as the elevator opened, there was a cabinet full of steaks, so shocking! The restaurant's decoration is mainly warm colors, and the stylish tables and chairs are matched with exquisite tableware, creating a warm dining environment while maintaining a sense of fashion. Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the scenery of Qin Lake and the night view of the city. The bright lights and the night are intertwined, adding a romantic atmosphere to the dining experience. The waiter enthusiastically guided us to our seat and handed us the menu. The dinner dishes were rich and varied, and every dish was mouth-watering. The first dish served was the appetizer, marinated salmon fillet with fresh fennel. The tender salmon fillet was carefully marinated and had a delicate taste. Paired with fresh and refreshing vegetables, it instantly whetted the taste buds. The Spanish Serrano ham slices, as thin as a cicada's wing, exude an enticing aroma and melt in your mouth. The salty and fragrant taste spreads on the tip of your tongue, leaving you with an endless aftertaste. Grilled mixed root vegetables with berries and burrata cheese. This dish perfectly combines the sweetness of grilled vegetables, the sourness of berries and the rich milky flavor of burrata cheese. It has a rich taste and distinct layers. After tasting the appetizers, the classic seafood soup was served. The waiter poured the soup into the bowl. The soup had a rich color and a fragrant aroma. The seafood ingredients in the soup were rich and varied, including tender shrimp, delicious scallops, etc. You could feel the gift of the sea in every bite. The main course, Pasta, is spaghetti with bacon, mushroom, anchovy and creamy tomato sauce, which is also excellent. The pasta was cooked to perfection, with a nice chewy texture. The creamy tomato sauce is rich and mellow, with the sweetness of cream and the sweet and sour taste of tomatoes. It blends with the flavors of bacon, mushrooms and anchovies, making every bite full of rich Italian flavor. For the main course, the Australian Angus ribeye steak with skewered tomatoes is undoubtedly the highlight. The steak was cooked to perfect doneness, slightly charred on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. With one cut, the tender meat juice slowly flows out. When you put it in your mouth, the tender texture and unique aroma of the beef burst out instantly, and paired with the sweet and sour skewered tomatoes, it is both refreshing and flavorful, making you intoxicated. The seafood platter is equally amazing. The roasted garlic oysters are plump, tender and juicy, and the aroma of garlic is perfectly combined with the deliciousness of oysters. The roasted cod fillet is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the fish meat is tender and delicate. The roasted asparagus is fresh and refreshing, adding a refreshing taste to the whole platter. After enjoying the sumptuous main course, the dessert of panna cotta with raspberry jelly and mango passion fruit popcorn was the perfect end to this gourmet journey. You have to make this dessert yourself. You have to break the first layer of chocolate, then break the mango passion fruit popping beads in the dessert and instantly sprinkle them all over the dessert cup. The Italian panna cotta has a delicate and silky texture and melts in your mouth. The sour and sweet raspberry jelly and the fresh fruity aroma of the mango passion fruit popping beads blend together, creating a wonderful taste in your mouth, which is sweet but not greasy and leaves you with an endless aftertaste. Finally, the chef has a surprise for you, be sure to go and experience it yourself! This weekend dinner at Chongyan Restaurant and Bar at Changshu Longteng Hilton Hotel is not only a feast for the taste buds, but also an all-round sensory enjoyment. From the exquisite and delicious dishes, to the comfortable and stylish dining environment, to the wonderful live performances, every aspect is impressive. This unforgettable dining experience has left me with a favorable impression of Chongyan Restaurant and Bar. I also look forward to coming again next time to explore more delicious food and surprises.

It’s the weekend and the sun is finally out! ! ! The sun was shining, and my friends and I met at Qinran Chinese Restaurant on the 3rd floor of Changshu Hilton Hotel to start a wonderful lunch experience on the weekend. As you step into the restaurant, soft lighting pours down, complementing the Chinese-style wooden tables and chairs and elegant decorative ornaments, creating a warm and elegant atmosphere. The koi decorations hanging from the ceiling add a strong cultural flavor to the restaurant, making people relax instantly. The restaurant service is very good, the order is taken quickly and recommendations are given. Soon, the dishes we ordered were served one after another. The first is the "Jiangnan Splendid Two Cold Dishes". The two cold dishes are presented very exquisitely, with harmonious color combination, which is pleasing to the eye. One of the dishes is fish, which has a moderate salty and fragrant taste and is full of flavor; the other dish is osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root, which has a light sweetness and gives you the feeling of the Jiangnan water village. Next, "Hydrangea stewed in clear soup to improve eyesight" was served. This soup is a feast for both the eyes and the taste buds. The soup is clear and transparent, just like amber. The "Hydrangea" in the soup is actually Wensi tofu made with fine knife skills and paired with delicious quail eggs. The soup is fresh and delicious, and the "Hydrangea" has a delicate and tender texture that melts in the mouth, bringing the ultimate enjoyment to the taste buds. At the same time, you can also feel the chef's superb cooking skills. The restaurant's signature dish, "Glass Crispy Pigeon", is definitely the star dish of this food tour. When the squab is served on the table, its shiny red skin sparkles with an alluring luster under the light, as if it were wrapped in a layer of crystal clear glass, making people salivate. Take a gentle bite, and with a "crunch" sound, the crispy skin instantly breaks between the teeth, making a crisp and pleasant sound, followed by the tender and juicy pigeon meat, the meat is tender and smooth, the meat aroma and the crispy skin are perfectly blended, the taste is rich and mellow. The juice of the pigeon meat overflows in the mouth, and every bite is full of satisfaction. It is worthy of being a signature delicacy and is endlessly memorable. The "Stir-fried Scallops with Asparagus and XO Sauce" is equally delicious. The fresh and crisp asparagus is green in color, as if carrying the breath of spring. Each asparagus is carefully processed and has a crisp and sweet taste. The scallops are the star of this dish, they are plump and have chewy texture. After being carefully fried in XO sauce, the scallops fully absorbed the deliciousness of the sauce. The rich seafood flavor and the unique flavor of XO sauce are intertwined with each other, creating rich layers. The surprise is the new dish "Black Truffle Pan-fried Abalone and Boneless Chicken". The unique aroma of black truffle hits our noses and instantly attracts our attention. The abalone is cooked just right, fresh and tender, and you can feel its firmness and deliciousness in every bite. The boneless chicken is fried and baked until the skin is golden and crispy, and the inside is tender and juicy. The chicken absorbs the aroma of black truffles, and the taste becomes richer and mellower. The mysterious aroma of black truffle, the deliciousness of abalone and the mellowness of chicken, the combination of these three ingredients brings a whole new taste enjoyment. The main course "Suzhou-style shrimp wontons" was served. The small wontons looked like ingots, neatly arranged in the bowl. The wonton skin is as thin as a cicada's wing, wrapped with plump shrimp filling. With a light bite, the delicious soup instantly bursts in your mouth, and the fresh and tender taste of the shrimp is intoxicating. Finally, the dessert "Pangzhi Ganlu with Mushroom Shortbread" has an attractive color of mango sago, a perfect blend of the sweetness of mango, the chewy texture of tapioca pearls, and the sour taste of grapefruit. It has a rich taste and is refreshing. The matching mushroom biscuits are even more unique, with a small and cute appearance. When you take a bite, you will find that the biscuits are crispy on the outside and soft and glutinous on the inside, exuding a light mushroom aroma, which adds a unique flavor to the dessert and is eye-catching. As the meal was coming to an end, the restaurant thoughtfully served seasonal fruits. It brought a refreshing finish to the entire meal. This weekend lunch at Qinran Chinese Restaurant on the 3rd floor of Hilton Changshu Hotel left us with a deep impression, both for the exquisite and delicious dishes and the warm and comfortable dining environment. Every dish here seems to be a work of art carefully created by the chef, which not only satisfies our taste buds, but also allows us to experience the perfect fusion of food and culture. This was an unforgettable dining experience and we look forward to visiting again next time to explore more delicious food.

During the Lantern Festival, I took my parents to join in the fun. There were so many people at Yuandian Shiqu Fangta Lantern Festival Wonderful Night. Fangta Light and Shadow Show, Yuandian Market, visit the Lantern Festival and watch performances. There is no entrance fee to Fangta Garden, the festive atmosphere is strong, and the public participation is extremely high. Then we walked along Tongjiang Road to Yushan Park to watch a drone show. More than a thousand drones changed their shapes, which made my parents exclaim: high-tech! Spend time with your family, wishing everyone a happy Lantern Festival~

Had a gander at Changshu city. Very nice indeed. A mixture of a mini Hangzhou, Suzhou and the Badaling wall in Beijing.....less touristy which is a good thing! Hiked Yushan mountain to the peak where temples and pavilions await. Wonderful views of Changshu landscape and lakes, went to check quickly (due to limited time) Shanghu Scenic park. Overall, worth going and will go again as there's too many places missed. #changshu #yushanmountain #shanghu

I go to Yanyuan to appreciate plum blossoms almost every year. Yanyuan was under renovation before, and I thought I missed the plum blossom season this year. Who knew that it would be open to the public on January 21, 2025. Moreover, Yanyuan is now open to the public free of charge, without the need to purchase tickets, and is now connected to the Party History Museum. Yanyuan, located at No. 18 Xinfeng Lane, Changshu City, is a garden named after its rockery. This small but exquisite Jiangnan classical garden has a Huangshi rockery called "Yan Gu". Beside Yan Gu, wintersweet flowers are in full bloom, setting off the eaves. Mengqing Lotus Temple, Tianji Returning Boat, Zhuqiu Pavilion, Shiyuan Tower... if you take a closer look, every name sounds so nice. Pavilions, towers, winding corridors and secluded places offer changing scenery with every step. Standing on the rockery in Yanyuan, you can still see the square tower. Yanyuan is not big, but there is a teahouse in the garden where you can sit down and have a cup of tea when you have nothing to do. "The flowers fall helplessly, and the swallows return as if they were familiar" is it a regret or a joy? Today, the classical gardens in Changshu Old Town, including Fangta Garden, Yan Garden, and Zengzhao Garden, are open to the public free of charge, and there are not many tourists, making them ideal places for careful appreciation. 📍Yanyuan Garden, Changshu, Jiangsu Tickets: None Recommended stay time: 1-2 hours Opening hours: 8:00-16:00

Hilton Changshu: A relaxing choice in the city Hilton Changshu is located on Fuchunjiang West Road, Changshu City, adjacent to Qinhu Lake, perfectly combining natural beauty and urban convenience to create an elegant environment. 💰️Average cost About 500 per person, very cost-effective 🧹Soundproofing/hygiene The room has a smell after being open for half a year, but it has improved after asking the hotel for an air purifier. 🏘️️️Room type/layout The lake view room is spacious, and the view of Qinhu Lake outside the window is pleasant. There is an air circulation switch under the window sill of the room, which is thoughtfully designed. The air conditioning can be adjusted independently and works well. The shower has plenty of water to meet daily needs. 🛌Supplies/facilities The hotel has complete facilities and fast wireless network speed. The indoor constant temperature swimming pool has a unique design, with a transparent glass bottom in one lane, bringing a novel swimming experience. The fitness center is equipped with advanced equipment, and the spa services help relax the body and mind. The swimming and fitness area is open from 6:30 am to 10:00 pm, which is long enough. The hotel offers a variety of dining options, including an all-day dining restaurant, Qinran Chinese Restaurant, Chongyan Specialty Restaurant, and Lobby Bar. The sky bridge on the second floor of the hotel leads directly to the large shopping mall Qinhu Xili across the street, where you can eat, drink, and have fun. 💗Other tips 1. Service experience: The waiters are enthusiastic and thoughtful, but the staff at the front desk need to improve their proficiency, and the check-in time is a bit long. The hotel offers express check-out, Wi-Fi, and car rental services, but pets are not allowed. 2. Convenient transportation: The hotel is conveniently located, making it easy to reach tourist attractions in Suzhou and Wuxi. Next time, you can try staying in a room with an outdoor balcony for a more unique accommodation experience. 3. Dining experience: The hotel breakfast is relatively rich, which can meet the needs of different guests, but the replenishment speed is slow when there are many people, and some food may be out of stock.
