Suzhou, a city known for its ancient gardens and canals, also boasts stunning modern landmarks that highlight its transformation into a contemporary cultural hub. Among these, Dongfangzhimen, Chengpin Bookstore, and Jinji Lake stand out as iconic destinations, each offering a unique glimpse into Suzhou’s modern charm. Dongfangzhimen, or the Gate to the East, is an architectural marvel and one of the most recognizable landmarks in Suzhou. Standing at 301 meters, its distinct arch-shaped design has drawn comparisons to a grand “pair of trousers,” but it also symbolizes a gateway connecting Suzhou to the rest of the world. As one of the tallest buildings in Suzhou, it houses office spaces, luxury apartments, and shopping centers, making it a bustling hub of activity. Visitors can enjoy breathtaking views of the city and Jinji Lake from the top, especially at sunset when the skyline glows with vibrant hues. Tucked within Suzhou Center Mall, Chengpin Bookstore (Eslite Bookstore) is more than just a bookstore—it’s a cultural sanctuary. This Taiwanese brand brings its signature blend of literature, art, and lifestyle to Suzhou. Spanning multiple floors, the bookstore offers an extensive collection of books, art exhibitions, and boutique shops. Its carefully curated interior design features sleek wooden shelves, cozy reading corners, and even a café, creating a peaceful escape amidst the city’s hustle. Whether you’re a book lover, an art enthusiast, or simply seeking a quiet space to relax, Chengpin Bookstore is an inspiring destination. At the heart of Suzhou’s Industrial Park lies Jinji Lake, a sprawling freshwater lake that serves as the city’s crown jewel. Surrounded by modern skyscrapers and green spaces, Jinji Lake is the perfect blend of urban vibrancy and natural beauty. Stroll along the lake’s promenades, take a leisurely boat ride, or enjoy the spectacular nighttime light show where Dongfangzhimen and the surrounding skyline come alive in dazzling colors. The lake also features popular attractions like the Moonlight Dock, Li Gong Di, and Harmony Times Square, which offer dining, shopping, and entertainment options with picturesque views. Together, Dongfangzhimen, Chengpin Bookstore, and Jinji Lake showcase Suzhou’s ability to embrace modernity while staying connected to its cultural roots. Whether you’re drawn by architectural wonders, literary treasures, or scenic beauty, these destinations are a testament to Suzhou’s evolution into a world-class city. #chinatrip

⛵P1, P3: Photos taken near the Moonlight Pier of Jinji Lake. The Oriental Gate, also known as "Big Autumn Pants", is on the other side of the lake. It is recommended to visit at night. The large photo frame is in the Cultural and Art Center, which is very close to the Moonlight Pier. It is found that this cultural art is very dedicated to popularizing and feeling the artistic atmosphere. If you are interested, you can turn around inside and around. There is a small night market by the lake, which is quite lively but not very large, and there are not many merchants. ⛵P2, P4: Photos taken near Wanghu Pavilion Pier, with the Cultural and Art Center and Ferris wheel on the other side of the lake. You can also take a boat to Taohua Island here. 🌸P5: Taohua Island, there are three characters of "Taohua Island" written by Mr. Jin Yong on the stone wall of the island. The moment I saw it, I was "killed by the memory" by "Peach Blossom Shadow Falling Flying Sword, Jade Flute Pressed by the Green Sea Tide". The facilities on the island are more suitable for parent-child tours. If you are walking with a baby, you can bring your children to play. The name of Jinji Lake comes from Qiongji, the daughter of King Wu Fucha. It exists to commemorate her. The lake was originally called "Qiongji Lake". Because "Qiongji" in Wu language sounds similar to "Jinji", it was mistakenly passed down as "Jinji Lake" and has been used ever since.

The Gate to the East, also known as the Gate of the Orient, is an iconic skyscraper located in Suzhou, Jiangsu province, China.

The building is famously shaped like a giant pair of pants, which has sparked a lot of conversation and amusement, the unusual shape has been the subject of jokes and memes, and despite the initial controversy, the Gate to the East is now one of the must-see attractions in the city, it has also become a beloved landmark and a symbol of modern Suzhou. Its design is meant to symbolize a gate, marking the entrance to the city of Suzhou. From the upper floors, you can get stunning views of Jinji Lake and the surrounding cityscape, making it a great place for photos.

Suzhou/20 Essential Tips to Avoid Tourist Traps❗ - You should always make a trip to the south of the Yangtze River. Suzhou is like the gentle moonlight of the south. - ✅After many trips to Suzhou within a year, here are 20 tips to avoid tourist traps, hoping to provide some references for friends. - 1. Suzhou does not have an airport, but it has two train stations: Suzhou Station and Suzhou North Station. 2. Suzhou North Station is a high-speed train station, which is relatively far from the city center. It is recommended to get off at Suzhou Station, which is in the city center and more convenient for transportation. 3. The roads in Suzhou are mostly straight, making it easy to navigate, so even those with a poor sense of direction won't easily get lost. 4. Pingjiang Road is the most well-preserved ancient river street in Suzhou Ancient City. Don't forget to visit Da Ru Lane, Lilac Lane, and Niu Family Lane. 5. Besides Pingjiang Road, you can also take a sculling boat ride on Shantang Street. 6. There are many gardens in Suzhou, and you must visit the Humble Administrator's Garden. If time permits, Canglang Pavilion is also worth a visit. 7. For those who plan to visit gardens at night, it is recommended to go to the Master of Nets Garden, where there is a live Kunqu opera performance. 8. Suzhou Museum is open from 9 am to 5 pm, closed on Mondays, and stops admitting visitors after 4 pm. 9. For Shantang Street, take Metro Line 2 to Shantang Street Station and exit from Exit 3, which is closer. 10. For Suzhou's night scenery, besides Shantang Street, you can also visit Jinji Lake. There is a musical fountain show on weekends starting at 7:30 pm, lasting 20 minutes. 11. Eslite Bookstore is next to Jinji Lake, featuring the most beautiful staircase for a photo opportunity. 12. You can listen to Kunqu opera and Pingtan at the Suzhou Kunqu Museum, Pingtan Museum, Shantang Kunqu Theatre, Shantang Academy, etc. 13. Besides Zhouzhuang, Mudu and Tongli ancient towns are also worth staying for a few days. 14. The entrance fee for Lingyan Mountain in Mudu is only 1 yuan, which is an absolute bargain for a scenic spot. 15. For late-night snacks in Suzhou, you can go to Jingde Road Wu Qu Fang, Nanyuan Road Nanyuan Bridge South, and other places in the city center. 16. If you're going to the Twin Towers Market, be prepared to queue. If you're going just for the sake of checking in, it's not highly recommended. 17. If you want to eat noodles in Suzhou, I personally recommend Tongde Xing for its authentic taste. The Mengzi Cross-Bridge Rice Noodles from old Suzhou are also worth trying. 18. The signature dish, Squirrel-shaped Mandarin Fish, is really good. It's my personal favorite, and you can hardly go wrong with it. 19. For accommodation, you can choose to stay near Pingjiang Road, which is close to the attractions. 20. For those buying souvenirs, you can consider purchasing some Suzhou-style pastries and various local candies.

Today I rode around Jinji Lake and Dushu Lake, along Jinji Lake Avenue, passing the Olympic Sports Plaza, Oriental Gate, Jinji Lake Scenic Area, and Dushu Lake Scenic Area. The whole journey was 45 kilometers and took 3 hours and 10 minutes. It seems that the only fun of cycling in Suzhou is to go around the lake. 🤣 #Suzhou weather is also very hot🥵 #First time using shared bikes😆 #Shared bikes have a pedaling frequency of 100 and a maximum speed of only 23 😵‍💫 #Where are the mountains to climb in Suzhou🤣

In early May, the Jinji Lake Scenic Area was in full bloom with beautiful roses! The arch was filled with roses bigger than my fist, creating a fairy-tale world. The Jinji Lake Scenic Area is located on the east side of the Suzhou landmark "Oriental Gate", and the Oriental Gate and the roses looked like a scene from a girls' manga, which was fun lol After appreciating the roses, I walked along the promenade around Jinji Lake while looking at the lake. It was a sunny day and the breeze was pleasant ⛵️ 📍Jinji Lake Scenic Area Address: 158 Xinggang Street, Industrial Park District, Suzhou City, next to Hubin Xintiandi Opening hours: 24 hours Free admission *The rose arch is located very close to the Jinji Lake Scenic Area Tourist Center in pic7. #overseastravel #china #suzhou #chinatravel #chinatourism #rosegarden

Jinji Lake in Suzhou, China, is surrounded by well-maintained areas and serves as a place of relaxation for local residents. The west bank of the lake is a park with many plants, where hydrangeas bloom beautifully in mid-May. When I visited, it was a weekday, but many people had come to see the hydrangeas. There is also a grassy plaza and artistic objects, and it is bustling with families on weekends. The east bank on the opposite bank is called "Times Square," a popular spot lined with high-rise buildings, shopping malls, and department stores. The south bank is a street called "Li Gongdi" lined with high-end restaurants. It is also recommended to walk around the area! 📍Kinran Lake Scenic Area ☑︎Address Suzhou Industrial Park, Xingang Street, Hutian New World ☑︎Access 10-15 minutes walk from Dongfangmen Station on the subway ☑︎Admission fee free #trip202304 #ChinaTourism #ChinaTravel #Suzhou #China

Jinji Lake is a fresh water lake located in the central part of Suzhou Industrial Park, Jiangsu, China. It occupies an area of 7.18 square kilometers and its average depth is about 2.5–3 meters. There are two man-made islands in the lake. Suzhou International Financial Square (Chinese: 苏州国际金融中心) is a supertall skyscraper designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates in the Suzhou Industrial Park, Jiangsu, located to the east of Jinji Lake.

Jinji Lake is the perfect place to spend an evening. It's a beautiful view of Suzhou's modern side. And it's free. Late afternoon start at Dongfangzhimen Gate to the East or Suzhou Centre subway stop and head out to the lake. Take your time walking and enjoying the sights or snacks around the lake. Walk over to the other side and lake, The Culture and Expo Centre, to watch the sun go down behind the Gate to the East, more commonly known as the pants/trousers building 👖 😅 There are food options on either side. It's a lovely leisurely activity. #tripblazers#summervacation#suzhou#awesomepic

Surrounded by beautiful walking paths on every side, Jinji lake is relatively small compared to others in the city, which means that it's also quiet of tourists. The closest metro station is just a few streets away, you can be invested in the natural landscape, whilst admiring the beautiful built up modern buildings. The restaurants in the area are positioned on islands in the lake. They are varied and flavourful, and have stunning views of the lake, thanking to the fact you're in the middle of it. It's really a peaceful moment to wonder this part of Suzhou and I highly recommend. #gooutside #urbanexplorer #awesomepic

#createwithtrip Whenever im at the jinji lake , one thing I always try to take with me is my drone, because then I get to take amazing photos like this, took these photos from the East side of the lake, where you can see the moon harbor, Times Square and the really cool Ferris wheel! another thing that you can do on the Jinji lake would be to go on a boat cruise or if you have your own boat you can go sailing around on the lake also seen some people using paddle boards to paddle around on this lake. And another thing that you can’t really get over every time you visit this lake is in the amazing views you’re able to see so many nice spots and different sites that make for fantastic pictures. #suzhou #awesomepic #createwithtrip #travelinspiration #travel #suzhoutravel #summervacation #urbanexplorer #scenicspotguide #scenicspotphotoguide

#createwithtrip One interesting thing about jinji lake is that there are so many different areas around the lake that really look beautiful and can really be a nice spot to experience in the lake. All the different areas around the lake are covered with different parks and gardens and beautiful locations that you can either take photos or take a walk or just relax. However located in the middle of this lake is a certain mysterious island. It’s not connected to any other areas so you’d only be able to reach the spot by a boat. It’s not really a mysterious island but it’s one of the spots that I’ve never been to and it would be really interesting to visit one day.  #suzhou #awesomepic #createwithtrip #travelinspiration #travel #suzhoutravel #summervacation #urbanexplorer #scenicspotguide #scenicspotphotoguide #viewontop

this place is located at the south eastern part of jinji lake in Suzhou china. This is a place called jinshui wanzhan bridge. This is a place that I have talked about and some previous posts, and I truly have nothing bad to say about this place it’s a gorgeous location where you have an intersection of winding bridges which overlook the jinji lake from these bridges. At this place you can also see some of the very popular sights of Suzhou. Such as the IFS tower and the gate of the Orient in Suzhou China. many people come here for reasons such as recreation exercise or just taking a walk by the lake. This is also a very gorgeous location at night so you will want to check it out when you visit. #suzhou #wonderfulsights #tripmoments #scenicspotsguide

There are many large large lakes in China but in my opinion this is the most developed and interesting. The lake itself is huge and we decided to walk around the whole lake last winter which took around 4 – 4.5 hours. There are some good hotels around the hotel, a large bar area/ street, several communities and many restaurants. After walking around the lake for hours you really get the sense the areas have their own character. There is also a large pedestrian bridge which has been built recently making it easier to walk around the bottom side of the lake. Parking is easy as there is a large car park at the north side of the lake.

Around the south eastern region of the Jinji lake, lies this magnificent bridge. for a while this spot was under construction and I had no idea that anything as crazy as that was being built. however one evening I was riding my scooter along the road and I caught a glimpse of this amazing location and had to stop. the next morning i set out very early and this time came with my camera gear and drone and I was able to get so amazing shots. the name of this place is called jinshui wan bridge. this is a place where many people come in the early morning for a walk or a jog, and also in the evening time it’s a whole new experience! #momentsmission #travelinspiration #christmasgiveaway #unforgettableexperiences #scenicspotguide #urbanexplorer

If you go down to the southern part of the jinji lake you will come upon the breathtaking location and that is the ligongdi area. it is an extremely beautiful and high class area from which you can watch the sun set. On this day I went for coffee in one of the many coffee shops in this area, and afterwards I decided to pick my camera and take as may shots as I could of this area and to be honest I didn’t have to look too far. you have a great view of the gate of the orient, and the IFS tower as well. When walking around I also noticed quite a number of people walking and strolling around this beautiful area trying to either get a workout in, or to simply absorb the serene energy. #momentsmission #scenicspots #christmasgiveaway #luxuryhotel #unforgettableexperiences

I’m really lucky to stay in a city that has such a place as this, this place is called the jinji lake as is a ne is the most iconic places to visit in Suzhou, the jinji lake is surrounded by many different parks and jogging trails that you could visit , it’s also near many of the famous places in Suzhou such as the gate to the east building and the IFS tower and many more. it’s a fantastic place to watch the sun go down, and many places you go around jinji lake is filled with energy and excitement. this is a spot that can be visited at any time of day so, you can get a different experience every time you visit. so make sure you check it out if you’re ever in Suzhou!#suzhou #scenicspotguide #urbanexplorer #lakes #travelinspiration

This is definitely not a common sight to see except you live in Suzhou China of course, If you’re ever in the Ligong Di area of Suzhou, which is on the south side of jinji lake, be sure to check out this amazing location! I stumbled upon it while taking a ride around the area, and one thing I noticed is that it’s almost never crowded. It’s a very good spot to have an evening stroll or an early morning yoga or meditation session. The calm and peaceful waves really heighten the serenity and it’s a great spot to watch the sunset. The only down side I would say at this point is the fact that there is quite a bit of construction going on in the lake and around the area, but this is only temporary, and wasn’t too much of a problem for me! #suzhou #jinjilake #historicculture #scenicspotguide

Never have I ever been on a such tall door that shows the gateway to the East. With a whooping height of nearly 300 metres, this archway 🌆 is a symbolic representation of that it has opened gates to the economic prosperity of the city. It also tells you that you've reached the city centre of Suzhou, right in the middle of the CBD (Central Business District). With a nice evening to spend in front of the Jinji lake (as it is in the shape of heart of a chicken 🐓 😂 ), people throng here every evening. They also do have a nice laser lit water dance🎊 show, which is quite an amusement for kids and families. Situated right above the Dongfang station, you can easily reach here by 🚈 and coming out there are lot of amazing food options. A perfect evening getaway if you're living in Suzhou #suzhoutravel #couplestrip #hipsterbookstore#romanticrestaurant#culturalattraction#camping#infinitypool#themepark#lakes

Great cities always have their vibe radiating miles away from them. Most plausibly, with orient tower in Suzhou they want to mimic the Oriental pearl tower of Shanghai. Giving us the nice skyline view 🤠 and a total reflection 🪞 of economic development that the city has been undergoing. Quite known as one of the most beautiful city in China, Suzhou even in the city center has some pleasant lakes. Around which they've built these skyscrapers to aid the aesthetic look of it. We spent the evening in the rooftop bar of W hotel 🛍️, sinking in both of whiskey sour and cool breeze. #urbanexplorer #historicculture#culturalattraction#themeparks#lakes
