Experience the Infinite Charm of Shantang at Night

【Introduction】: The Seven-Mile Shantang Street is truly extraordinary. An evening visit reveals its nighttime charm. 🕘【Opening Hours】: Open all day, but during the May Day holiday, starting from May 3, a visitor limit is implemented, with timed entry at all entrances. Gusu authorities are also advising tourists to avoid visiting if possible due to the restrictions. It's extremely crowded, and even the river is full of boats. 💴【Ticket Price】: Free ⛺【Travel Tips】: There's everything you need for eating, drinking, playing, sightseeing, and shopping. 🚌【Transportation】: It's not recommended to drive, as there's no place to park, and the parking lots are far away, requiring a walk. The closest parking lot is probably the East Parking Lot, located in the Beihaonong Alley. In Suzhou city, the best mode of transportation is an electric bike. From the east, you can enter Shantang Street from Changmen via Xizhongshi heading north. From the north, you can go directly to Xinmin Bridge via Guangjibei Road and walk south to Tonggui Bridge. There's a Shantang Street bus stop and Metro Line 2 station on Guangjibei Road at Xinmin Bridge, which you can choose to take. 👉【Itinerary】: It's recommended to go to Xiyuan Temple early in the morning for noodles and buns, then explore Lingering Garden. Have lunch and rest nearby, and then spend the afternoon exploring Shantang Street for food, drinks, and fun. Be sure to take photos in the evening; the scenery is breathtaking. 🧡【Pre-trip Preparation】: Camera, power bank, water, travel guide.
