Many people travel during the National Day holiday, but they don't want to give up the rare long vacation, so they plan to find a less popular place for a three-day trip. After contacting friends, the three of us hit it off and confirmed the three-day tour from October 3rd to 5th.

Excluding popular tourist destinations such as Hangzhou, Ningbo, and Suzhou, we finally chose Changshu. I visited Changshu more than 10 years ago, but I didn't have a deep impression. Determine the location and start doing the strategy. Changshu is not a big place, but there are three 5A scenic spots, Shanghu, Yushan and Shajiabang. Shajiabang is a bit far away from Changshu City. It is a red tourist attraction and a popular tourist attraction during the National Day. I was worried that there would be a large number of tourists, so I gave up. The final destinations were determined to be Shanghu and Yushan, plus Suzhou, a three-day leisure tour of food, sea, drinking and leisure. Book a triple room at Changshu Yiting Hotel for 2 nights for 324 yuan. Compared with hotels whose prices have tripled during the Suzhou holiday, Changshu's price increase is acceptable.

On October 1, I watched the spectacular military parade marking the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China and felt the strength of the motherland. Take a day off on October 2 and leave early on October 3.

A little partner and I took a train to Suzhou, then transferred to Changshu, and another little partner took Changshu directly on a Shanghai bus.


D1 Shanghai ="Suzhou =" Changshu (Accommodation: Changshu Yiting Hotel)

On the morning of October 3, the traffic at Shanghai Railway Station was within controllable range.

I bought an ordinary car with no seats, and I listened to the chatting of the conductor uncle. I lament that there are fewer and fewer green leather cars and may disappear in a few years. Although bullet trains and high-speed trains are fast and the environment is good, it is rare to hear chatting between passengers or passengers and conductor. They all look at their mobile phones from their own locations, which lacks the atmosphere of the city.

Arriving in Suzhou in 1 hour, I bought a bus ticket from Suzhou North Square Bus Station to Changshu South Station in advance. Suzhou North Square Bus Station is located in Suzhou North Square, which is different from Suzhou North Bus Station. I saw someone going to the wrong station. Changshu South Railway Station is the closest station to Changshu City. Suzhou North Square Bus Station and Changshu South Railway Station are directly connected to Changshu South Railway Station on high speed. The normal time is about 50 minutes. But we were stuck at the exit of Shajiabang Expressway for a while and reached Changshu South Railway Station in 1 hour and 20 minutes. Another friend has already arrived. It takes about 3 hours to take a direct bus from Shanghai to Changshu.

The three gathered at Changshu South Railway Station around 11:30, and the hotel cannot check in until the afternoon. First go to Changshu Chain Noodle Restaurant Hanhui Noodle Restaurant to eat the special xun oil noodles. Mushroom is a unique mushroom in Yushan and is a local specialty. Mushroom oil is the oil made from mushrooms. It tastes very fresh but is too oily and makes the soup difficult to swallow.

After eating noodles, take a taxi to Shanghu Gate 1, and buy a special ticket for Shanghu from Ctrip in advance for 46 yuan. The original price seems to be 80 yuan. Gate 1 is the main gate and has a visitor center. There are boat tours and battery car tours, and we are on foot.

Shanghu belongs to the wetland type, including reed swamps, aquatic forests, etc.

The entire scenic area is a large park surrounded by the lake. The scenery is good but most of them are man-made attractions. There are no special attractions except for the water forest.

There are many trees growing directly in the water in the water forest. We took a bamboo raft and walked around the water forest. The scenery was good.

Then I strolled leisurely, bought a drink at the tea house by the lake, sat by the lake, looked at the scenery of Yushan opposite and the nearby lake, and chatted.

I spent about 3 hours in the scenic area. After leaving the scenic area, I took a taxi to the hotel.

After checking into the hotel, taking a break, and going to the first stop for food and sea drinks, Ozenen Japanese cuisine is 168 yuan per person.

Japanese buffet, ordered a lot and started to eat and drink.

After eating, we walked to Fangta Road and saw Fangta.

Walk back to the hotel from Fangta Road along the pedestrian street.

At the end of the first day of the trip, although Shanghu is a 5A attraction, it is still far from scenic spots such as the West Lake. However, there are not many people here and it is suitable for leisure travel. Today, I walked the entire lake, and then walked back to the hotel from Fangta Street. I was very tired and rested early.


D2 Changshu (Accommodation: Changshu Yiting Hotel)

I was too tired yesterday, so I woke up naturally until 9:30 today. After washing up, I went to Xingfu Lao Noodle Restaurant for breakfast.

Take a taxi to Xingfu Lao Noodle Restaurant, which is next to Xingfu Temple at the foot of Yushan Mountain.

The noodle shop has many tents outside the foot of the mountain, where there are people who eat noodles and drink tea.

We came late. After breakfast time, fewer people ate noodles, and most of them drank tea.

After yesterday's lesson that the noodles were too oily, I ordered the all-vegan Shuanggu noodles today. The taste is still very fresh and the soup is still very oily.

After eating noodles, go to Xingfu Temple. Admission is 10 yuan. The temple is very big, and there are people who drink tea.

After leaving the temple, we officially began to climb Yushan to experience the scenery of ten miles of green mountains and half of the city. The entrance fee for Yushan Scenic Area is 30 yuan and is divided into three scenic spots: the Jianmen Scenic Area at the top of the mountain, the City Wall Scenic Area at the foot of the mountain and the Baoyan Scenic Area (these two scenic spots are not together). A 30-yuan ticket should be very cost-effective. Tourist buses arrive at the three scenic spots, and the fare is 1 yuan. Self-driving cars cannot drive to Yushan. They can only park their cars in Baoyan Parking Lot and take a tourist bus up the mountain. If you walk up the mountain, you can also go up the mountain from the walking path of Baoyan Scenic Area or Xingfu Temple.

You can walk up the mountain from Xingfu Temple, and there is also a cableway. Cableway bicycle 40, round trip 60.

Our route is to go up Xingfu Temple to the Jianmen Scenic Area at the top of the mountain, and then take a bus down the mountain to the City Wall Scenic Area. We don't go back and experience the feeling of climbing mountains, so we didn't take the cableway. Looking at the cableway station, there was basically no one riding the cableway.

I went up the mountain with steps and slopes. I usually didn't exercise and was quite tiring to climb.

I went up to the entrance of Guixiang Garden to buy drinks, entered Guaxiang Garden and continued up the mountain. This season is the time when osmanthus blossoms, but the fragrance of osmanthus flowers is not smelled in the Guixiang Garden.

After exiting Guixiang Garden, you will be at the entrance of Jianmen Scenic Area. I bought a 30-yuan ticket.

Enter the Jianmen Scenic Area. This scenic area is mainly on top of Yushan Mountain overlooking the Shanghu Lake at the foot of the mountain. The weather is bad, the visibility and clarity are not high.

There is also Zanghai Temple in the scenic area, which looks like it was newly built. This Canghai Temple has nothing to do with Wang Canghai, who wrote the tomb robbery notes.

The Jianmen Scenic Area is not big, and it takes about half an hour to visit it.

After leaving the scenic spot, waiting for tourist buses at the entrance, the long holidays affect many passengers. It was hard to squeeze into the car and take the bus under the city wall scenic area.

There are not many people in the city wall scenic area, and it feels nothing special. The city wall leads all the way to the city, but we did not follow the city wall.

Continue down the mountain, pass through several celebrity cemeteries, and finally reach the foot of the mountain.

It was only past 12 o'clock in the afternoon, and it was still early. Take the 125 route to Baoyan Scenic Area.

Pass by Changshu Museum and enter for a visit. There are not many exhibits, most of which are pottery and jade articles from the Liangzhu Culture and jade articles from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China.

There are not many people on Road 125. The route starts from the mountain road without traffic lights and reaches Baoyan Scenic Area in half an hour. This is an ecological park with many bayberry trees. It should be good when bayberry matures in June and July.

Baoyan Scenic Area is well greenery, with bamboo forests and many tea trees.

We made tea in a tea house in the bamboo forest and enjoyed the afternoon leisurely.

There is a newly built Baoyan Temple and a former train in the scenic area. This is a place to cultivate one's soul, suitable for calm down and experience nature, without the hustle and bustle of popular attractions. Due to work and life reasons, I have to deal with all kinds of annoying things and people every day. It is rare for me to calm down, think about nothing, and let my heart empty.

After emptying for 3 hours, I returned to the city at around 4 o'clock and began to eat and drink for the second stop.

I originally planned to go to the buffet at Jinhaihua Hotel. When I arrived at the scene, I felt that the hotel environment was very good, but the dishes were average. It was temporarily decided to go to Happy Factory International Buffet Barbecue Hotpot 75 on Fangta Road Pedestrian Street. This was the most failed experience of this time, and I didn't want to be photographed.

There are many dishes here, but the quality is very poor. The meat and eggs feel both ******, okay, just eat something to fill your stomach.

Yesterday's lake trip and today's mountain climbing made me feel relieved and happy. I was slightly tired physically and had a massage for the blind near Fangta Road.

On the way back to the hotel, I ate a bowl of Suzhou mutton noodles and returned to the hotel to sleep full.


D3 Changshu ="Suzhou =" Shanghai

I have to go back today and sleep until I wake up naturally. Walking to Changshu South Railway Station, buying a bus ticket to Suzhou, and arriving in Suzhou in 1 hour.

The third stop is for lavish food and sea drinking. The Toronto buffet is 95 yuan per person.

I have visited this store once before. In addition to the large number of people, the quality and value for money are good.

After eating and drinking, we head to Shantang Street not far away. There are many tourists in Suzhou during the long holiday. A serpentine channel is set up at the entrance to Shantang Street. When entering Shantang Street, people are still within controllable range.

Sit down at Tianshang Caiyun Hall, a small fresh shop in Changlai, order coffee, and listen to the resident singing.

Most of the people on Shantang Street are tourists in a hurry and do not stop while walking, so there are not many people on the street.

Sitting by the window, looking at the rushing passers-by, the scenery by the river, and listening to the resident song (singing well), I unknowingly stayed there for more than 3 hours.

It was past 5 o'clock, and Hu Chihai drank for three days, but he was not hungry at all. After strolling around Shantang Street, I went to Suzhou Railway Station to prepare for my return journey.

Arriving at Suzhou Station, it is still early. I sat by the river for a while at the South Square of Suzhou Station.

When it was time to get on the train, I reluctantly got on the train and returned to Shanghai.


The three-day long holiday in Changshu Suzhou is over. Compared with the popular attractions, Changshu does not have many tourists, but the attractions are not too amazing. They are a good place to relax and relax. Changshu is at most a third-tier city. There are many clothing wholesale markets. When we pass by, business is sluggish and there are almost no customers. However, so many clothing markets can be seen in their past glory. Many commercial buildings have also closed down and closed, and many shops on the road have rental information posted at the doorsteps. I saw many new houses with lights turned out at night, so they should not have been sold yet. There is not much customer flow at the restaurant during the long holiday, which shows that the local economy is not very good. In fact, Changshu is a place with cultural heritage and natural scenery. If it develops well, the tourism economy should be further improved.
