[2025 Suzhou Attraction] Travel Guide for Lake Yangcheng (Updated Jun)

In addition to hairy crabs, Yangcheng Lake in this season also has autumn colors like oil paintings. I strongly recommend Shuize Road, which is simply an oil painting landscape! By the Yangcheng Lake, the beauty of Jiangnan in autumn is fully displayed between the water and the sky. Stopping here seems to allow people to take off all the glitz and fatigue and return to their true nature with nature. With the relocation of the city, such scenes will become less and less. Location: Bacheng Ecological Wetland Park (free). P Parking: Fairmont Yangcheng Lake Kunshan (actually free parking). The park is covered with lush vegetation. The waterfront area is dominated by Metasequoia trees, as well as deciduous trees such as maple and ginkgo trees. Perhaps because the weather has not yet cooled down completely, the trees have not completely turned red, but instead present a gradient of colors from green to yellow to orange and then to red. This is a romantic scenery unique to autumn, and I personally think it is also the most beautiful season. Yangcheng Lake

🌟In late autumn and early winter, you can enjoy the unique beauty of red maple 🍁. Apart from the popular Tianping Mountain in Suzhou, there is a few hundred meters long Maple Avenue on the Yangcheng Lake Peninsula in the park. 🌈It is said that many people call it 'Little Quebec🤫'. The trees planted on both sides are Canadian red maples🍁. When we went there, some leaves had already fallen, but the long walkway and dense red maples were still very stunning under the sunlight☀️ and blue sky. 📍Address: The road outside the farm at No. 1, Tanxi Road, Suzhou Industrial Park, Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province. 🚇Subway: Line 1 of Rail Transit → Route 176 🚌Bus: Route 176, Route 127, Route 1055, Route 238 🚗Self-driving: Navigate to Putian Organic Ecological Agriculture Park 🅿️Parking: Free🆓 🎫Admission: Free🆓

Ba Cheng Street in China left a lasting impression on me. The vibrant street market was a delight to explore, with a rich display of local culture and traditional crafts. As we strolled along, we stumbled upon a charming tea shop, it’s called 巴城街茶坊. The owner warmly welcomed us and introduced us to various Chinese teas, making the tasting experience truly enjoyable. Their hospitality and the authentic tea flavors made the visit unforgettable. A must-visit for an authentic taste of China's culture.

Watching the sunset at Yangcheng Lake in Suzhou is an unforgettable experience. As the sun descends towards the horizon, the sky transforms into a breathtaking canvas of vibrant oranges and the tranquil lake below reflects the stunning hues above. The atmosphere at Yangcheng Lake during sunset is peaceful and calming, making it an ideal location for relaxation and reflection. Whether you're sitting on the shore or enjoying a boat ride, the serenity of the scene will surely leave you feeling rejuvenated and refreshed. The park adjacent to the lake is huge. Take your time if you decide to visit there.

Suzhou's Yangcheng Lake is a lake famous for its Shanghai crabs. In October 2022, I went to eat Shanghai crabs on Lotus Island, where Shanghai crab farms are lined up. Despite its name, it is a peninsula, so you can go directly by car, but I heard that there is a tourist boat, so I headed there by boat! The Yangcheng Lake Tourism Distribution Center (pic2) at the boat dock was designed by Japanese architect Kengo Kuma! Who would have thought I would encounter Kengo Kuma's work in such a place. I bought a boat ticket in this building and boarded the boat when the time came. After gazing at the quiet Yangcheng Lake for a while, I arrived at the island. I was impressed by the unexpected flower fields on the island lol. In addition to farming Shanghai crabs, vegetables are also grown, and I enjoyed the scenery of rural China! It was a very satisfying "adult excursion" where we ate a lot of Shanghai crabs 😋 *During the Shanghai crab season from September to November, many people board the boat, and the nearest boat was fully booked, so we had to wait about 30 minutes. It is recommended to go out with plenty of time! *We took a taxi to the boat dock. 📍Yangcheng Lake Tourism Distribution Center Address: Lianhua Island Wharf, Xiangcheng District, Suzhou City #China Tourism #China #Suzhou #Shanghai Crab

Taking a stroll along Yangcheng Lake was truly delightful. On a scorching weekend, we headed straight to Yangcheng Lake and chose the Fairmont Hotel. Enjoying the lake views and watching the sunset made for a lovely experience overall. Holidays are indeed peak times for family travel. There was a crowd during check-in, but the process was quick. The rooms were spacious, with ample room in both the bathroom and balcony. However, the decor felt a bit dated, and there weren’t many smart amenities—though this depends on personal preference! The hotel is right next to Yangcheng Lake, adjacent to Bacheng Wetland Park. A morning or evening walk along the lake is highly recommended for a pleasant experience. The hotel offers a variety of dining options, including buffets and à la carte menus. For dinner, we chose Yi Feng Ge Chinese Restaurant, where the service was attentive and the ambiance pleasant. Personally, I found the Suzhou-style dishes outstanding, especially the Aozhao noodles, while the Cantonese cuisine was just average. The breakfast spread was decent—not extensive, but everything tasted great. Overall, it’s a great choice for family trips. If you’re visiting Kunshan, this hotel is worth considering. #Kunshan #YangchengLake #KunshanTravel #KunshanHotels #FairmontYangchengLakeKunshan
