🌈Accommodation: I highly recommend this Ruixiangyuan B&B. When I checked in in December, the ginkgo trees in the hotel were basically yellow, and any photo you took would be full of beautiful colors. There is a small courtyard next to my room, and there is a special ginkgo tree in the courtyard. It is wonderful to sit under the tree and have afternoon tea. We also had meals at the B&B. The portions were large, the crabs were fresh and delicious, with lots of roe and crab paste. I will come again next year during the ginkgo season. 🌈Qi Garden: I have been to many gardens in Suzhou, and this little-known garden gave me a big surprise. There were very few people, and you can imagine it as visiting your own yard [Chin]. The characteristic of this garden is mirror imaging. Whether it is the buildings in the main garden or the pavilions on Taihu Lake, they all give the feeling of two cities in the mirror. 🌈Sunset: The best luck was seeing the beautiful sunset when passing through the Daixinwan Bridge after leaving Qiyuan

I went to Suzhou with my family during the holidays and was amazed by the hotel I chose blindly! 270° View! I was moved to tears by the beauty of the ginkgo trees in the yard ✔ Panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows✔ Window-side bathtub✔ Ginkgo yard✔ Pet-friendly . I was amazed by the autumn garden yard The environment is quiet, the garden is full of apricot trees, and the golden ginkgo trees are everywhere when you enter the yard The autumn atmosphere is full~ It is really good for taking pictures The yard is full of birdsong and flowers, birds singing in the morning and frogs croaking in the evening, it feels like living in the Ubud forest The environment is really good! The surrounding attractions are within walking distance. There is also free parking nearby🚗It is really convenient. . The room is fully equipped and the view is really amazing. The large floor-to-ceiling window has a great view and the view is really beautiful. There is also a large bathtub next to the window, which is really comfortable to take a bath. The details in the room are designed with great care. Sitting by the window to drink tea and enjoy the view is simply amazing. . The breakfast experience is great. The nine-square breakfast is all homemade, with sunshine and green plants, and the sense of happiness is overflowing. For dinner, I had hen soup, river shrimp, and fried whitebait eggs, which made me feel full and satisfied!
