I have suffered so much in Suzhou and I really don’t recommend going there in March!

Came to a city because of a song "There is heaven above, Suzhou and Hangzhou below, gardens in the city, and Taihu Lake outside the city. Suzhou has beautiful scenery, beautiful scenery. Apricot blossoms bloom in spring, and people are busy picking tea in the rain..." Humming this song "Beautiful Scenery of Suzhou", the poetic and picturesque Suzhou with ancient charm is like a delicate fine brushwork painting, slowly unfolding before my eyes, attracting me to embark on a journey happily in this bright and beautiful March. Recommended reasons: March in Suzhou is a perfect time to visit gardens and enjoy the flowers as spring arrives and flowers bloom. At this time in Suzhou, willows are green, peaches are pink, cherry blossoms are in full bloom, and the classical gardens and the modern cityscape complement each other, making people linger. Three days are enough for you to appreciate Suzhou's Jiangnan water town charm and long history and culture. Itinerary planning: Day 1: Classical Garden Tour Morning: Humble Administrator's Garden → Suzhou Museum Afternoon: Lion Grove → Pingjiang Road, Old Street Evening: Night Tour of Shantang Street Day 2: Visit the ancient water town Morning: Zhouzhuang Ancient Town Afternoon: Tongli Ancient Town Evening: Return to Suzhou city, free time Day 3: Modern and traditional cultural experience Morning: Suzhou Industrial Park → Jinji Lake Scenic Area Afternoon: Suzhou Silk Museum → Art Garden Evening: Shopping and leisure at Guanqian Street Recommended attractions: Humble Administrator's Garden: One of the four famous gardens in China, it is famous for its landscape gardens and is the representative of Suzhou gardens. Suzhou Museum: Designed by the famous architect I.M. Pei, it combines traditional and modern architectural styles. Lion Grove: Famous for its rockery, there are many interesting stone lions of various shapes in the garden. Zhouzhuang Ancient Town: Known as "China's No. 1 Water Town", it has typical Jiangnan water town characteristics. Tongli Ancient Town: Well-preserved Ming and Qing Dynasty buildings, simple and elegant, full of Jiangnan style. Jinji Lake Scenic Area: natural scenery in a modern city, suitable for leisure and vacation. Transportation Guide: Airplane: One of the ways to reach Suzhou. Suzhou Industrial Park Heliport is close to the city. High-speed rail: Suzhou Station and Suzhou North Station are major high-speed rail stations with convenient transportation. Public transportation: Suzhou has a well-developed public transportation network that can reach major tourist attractions. Metro: Suzhou Metro has opened multiple lines, which are convenient and fast. Taxi: The base price is low, but it may be difficult to get a taxi during peak hours. Recommended local food: Squirrel fish: a traditional Suzhou delicacy, sweet and sour, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Shredded Pork in White Sauce: famous for its delicious broth and tender shredded pork. Su-style mooncakes: sweet but not greasy, with a strong Jiangnan flavor. Crab roe tofu: delicious taste and rich in nutrition. Biluo Shrimp: Fried with Biluochun tea leaves, a specialty of Taihu Lake, for a unique flavor. Accommodation recommendations: Hilton Suzhou Humble Administrator's Garden: Located in the city center, with convenient transportation and elegant environment. Suzhou Wugong Pan Pacific Hotel: a combination of classic and modern, with first-class service. Shangri-La Hotel, Suzhou Industrial Park: Close to Jinji Lake Scenic Area, suitable for business and leisure vacations. Tips: The weather in Suzhou is gradually getting warmer in March, but there is a big temperature difference between morning and evening, so please bring appropriate clothing. When visiting the gardens, try to avoid peak hours and enjoy the tranquil garden scenery. When visiting the ancient town, please respect local customs and do not make loud noises. When enjoying delicious food, pay attention to food hygiene and avoid gastrointestinal discomfort. Book attraction tickets and hotels in advance to avoid affecting your travel plans. Suzhou dialect is difficult to understand, so you can seek help from scenic spot staff if necessary. Bring a power bank and a camera to record your wonderful travel moments. During the few days in Suzhou, accompanied by the melodious song "Beautiful Scenery of Suzhou", I embraced the spring flowers, gazed at the ancient charm, and danced with the mountains and rivers. Every inch of the beauty of this city is engraved in my heart. I am full of nostalgia when I leave and hope to see you again. He returned to continue writing the wonderful story of Suzhou.
