★ Tourist location: Suzhou Pingjiang Road Historical District

Coming out of the Yuan Garden, there is also an East Garden next to it, which is built along the river and is very lush. The river here is relatively wide and has some amusement facilities.

Pingjiang Road is just around the corner. During the Song Dynasty, Suzhou was once called "Pingjiang". It was named Shiquanli in ancient times because there were ten ancient wells. You can still see the well now, but there is no sign next to the well. It is estimated that the well is no longer ancient. It is probably a well dug by local residents later to collect water and drink.

This is a paradise for foodies and a favorite for gourmet people. It was time for dinner, but we have always liked snacks, so we decided to take a stroll along Pingjiang Road first, but we had to control the amount of snacks, otherwise we would not be able to eat dinner later.

Some people say,"No travel without food", which is a bit absolute. When the scenery is so beautiful, you really can't care about food. However, after visiting the beautiful scenery and having some delicious food, it would be the icing on the cake. People go to Pingjiang Road not only to enjoy the beautiful scenery. This short stone road is definitely worth walking, but more because of its numerous delicacies. The first time I knew about Pingjiang Road was because of its delicious food.

There are hundreds of shops on both sides of Pingjiang Road, and most of them only have one or two doors, selling specialty products and delicacies. Many of these delicacies have been Internet celebrities. Walking on the gravel road, the aroma from both sides intertwined. The fly in the ointment is that there are too many people at the moment, and even if you want to speed up your pace to find the store you like, it will not be so easy.

The weather is hot, so I can have a cup of yogurt. Among them, Fox's yogurt is popular food. I was probably thirsty, so I felt that their yogurt tasted particularly good, with a little sweetness in the acid, refreshing but not greasy.

Chicken head rice is a specialty of Jiangnan water town. It looks similar to lotus seeds in appearance, but it is softer. It is said that chicken head rice has quite high nutritional value, so it has been praised in recent years. We don't care much about how high the nutritional value is, just like the taste. There are many ways to make chicken head rice in Suzhou. Even if the grain is boiled and eaten, it is still very good.

In fact, we also want to eat Xiaoyuanzi. This snack not only tastes good, but the red bean paste and osmanthus are fragrant and sweet. We tasted it when we came last time. Although we don't miss it in our dreams, we actually feel a little greedy when we see it. However, we encouraged each other and resisted the temptation. This thing may not seem big, but it is actually quite satisfying.

You can buy a little chicken feet, which are sold in many stores. I saw netizens recommending Chicken Foot Kala and Huangcheng Chicken Foot, and said that these two taste particularly good. The door of Jijiao Corner is really small, but it is not difficult to find because there is always a long line outside the door. Our patience wasn't very good, so we went to another company, only to find that the team seemed to be quite short either. So the three people worked together, one lined up to buy chicken feet, and the two of them went to the restaurant to order food, and they worked together.

I originally wanted to go to Songhe Tower, but I found that the house was full and I could only find a private restaurant. I didn't pay attention to the name, but the decoration was quite classical. The dining area was very clean, and the lights were not too bright. It was very warm. Xiangyou shana paste is a traditional and famous dish in Suzhou. It gets its name because the oil in the plate is still crackling after the eel paste is served. Su Ban dishes don't like to add pepper, but the taste is still sweet, but the aroma is very strong.

Although the steamed white fish is not big, it is a complete piece and the taste is similar to that of Wuxi. Originally, they were all in the Taihu Lake Basin, and the white fish probably did not come from Taihu Lake, but the taste was still delicious and it was a regular dish. Add green vegetables, which will be green and refreshing. The main food is cabbage rice and wonton noodles. The shrimp is very big and the stuffing is sufficient. A meal is really satisfying.

After dinner, you can go to Pingjiang Road to relieve digestion. Maybe everyone is having dinner in the restaurant. At this time, the traffic is much less and it is more suitable for a leisurely stroll.

Although we see Internet celebrity gourmet shops from time to time, we touch our tummies and are really powerless. We can only turn around with great difficulty.

There were no tourists stopping in the stele pavilion, so it was very quiet. Compared with Shantang Street, the night view of Pingjiang Road does not have as bright lights. Even in the cheongsam shop, there are not so many customers. I guess everyone is here for delicious food. But because of this, when walking on the stone road, I can occasionally hear the echo of footsteps, which feels like this is the taste of shopping in an ancient street.
