I still remember that I came to Taihu Lake when I graduated from high school. N years have passed, and Taihu Lake has changed a lot. The East Taihu Ecological Tourism Resort has appeared in the east. It took 50 months of returning fishing and reclamation to the lake. It has become a clean and quiet large-scale ecological leisure park that integrates the city and lake, and relies on water and green.

Wangongdi was named after Wan Qingxuan, a water control expert in the late Qing Dynasty. He served as a magistrate in Wujiang for three times. During his tenure, he spent his salary to build the pond bank from Sanli Bridge in Songling to Dapu Bridge in Bache.

Now Wangongdi is the green lung of the city. There are few people on weekdays. On weekends, people meet here to enjoy nature and leisure time. There are very few buildings inside, let alone tall buildings, so it looks comfortable and green.
The ecological park has a large area, including Linshui Square Area, Central Park Area and Ecological Experience Area. There are cars on the roadside for tourists and families to ride. In spring, you can go hiking and admire the green and watch the sea of flowers. In summer, you can play in the water and watch birds. You can enjoy red maples in autumn and watch snow in winter. The scenery in the four seasons is different
Some schools simply bring a group of children for spring outings and picnics.

Business hours: 10-21:00

Once upon a time, bookstores were no longer a place that only sold books. From photosynthesis in high school, they also sold cultural creativity. Later, Kubrick, One Way Street, Pioneer Bookstore... Although physical bookstores have been declining, the revival of special types of physical bookstores in recent years has brought new understanding and atmosphere to people. The functions carried by bookstores have also become diverse.

We were playing in the East Taihu Ecological Park and checked this bookstore online. There were very few buildings in the surrounding area. It was a lonely metal building like a big ship, full of design. The green trees are hidden, creating a strong contrast with the rusty color.
Entering the bookstore, there is a tea room first on the right. It is said that Zen tea is blind, and books and tea also have a deep origin and temperament. A cup of white tea with a favorite book, time passes by me, but it doesn't feel like an afternoon has passed. Reading never crosses mountains and mountains, and drinking tea crosses thousands of rivers and mountains.

Further inside, there is a spacious space filled with various books, as well as simple sundries, which can be sold at the same time, and there are also many cultural and creative products. There is a private room on the second floor, and the bookstore often holds calligraphy and reading activities.
The owner of this bookstore is said to have started as a small bookstore in the ancient seaside town of his hometown, and later opened Nantong Zhongguan Academy, known as the most beautiful bookstore in Jiangsu. It took more than 20 years to transform the shop into a bookstore brand.

There are very few people in the East Taihu Ecological Park. The ecological park in the north and Suzhou Bay Sports Park in the south each have a cafe with the same temperament. They are both white houses with almost all white interiors, which are very suitable for taking photos. So there are a lot of girls here.
The cafe is divided into about three spaces. The outermost one is scattered. The sunshine here is very good, and shadows can be reflected on the ground when the light is strong. Any cup of drink, paired with sitting quietly, will be a big piece.

There are fewer people inside, but there are not many places to take photos. Only a green window is still nice.
The spiral staircase leading to the second floor is the highlight and very impressive.
The cafe also carefully prepared colorful photos for Wang Hong to take.

Suggestion:
Don't wear too flowery, just pure color and elegant.
Fixed focus head, golden coke section is the best.
It's good to take the stairs down from the second floor or the flat stairs from the first floor. The other thing is the wrought iron chair by the window.
The cafe is also a dining bar that produces a variety of desserts, beautiful drinks and simple Western meals. Lightning puffs and pasta are recommended.

Address: East Taihu Ecological Tourism Resort, Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province
This is the first time I came to East Taihu Lake and lived in Huayi for the first time. This is a subsidiary of Intercontinental Group and the world's first international luxury hotel brand tailored for Chinese people.
Some first-tier, third-tier and third-tier cities + resorts in China have opened, and it is said that they will later expand internationally.

Judging from the feeling of staying in, this is a very standard international hotel with services, facilities, layout, and catering. However, it is still a resort type in a high-end business hotel. Suzhou Bay Huayi Hot Spring Resort Hotel is located in Taihu New City in Wujiang District, on the edge of Taihu Lake in Suzhou Bay. It is very close to East Taihu Ecological Park, Suzhou Bay Cultural Center, Suzhou Bay Dream Water World, and Suzhou Bay Sports Park. It is also convenient to visit Tongli Ancient Town and Zhenze Ancient Town.
You can soak in the hot springs on the balcony of the luxurious soup house, and the view outside the balcony is good.
The rooms are spacious, but the tea bags are very different. They serve private brands of alpine green tea, Anxi Tieguanyin, Palace Pu 'er and English black tea, rather than the common brands on the market.

You can rent a yacht here, watch the Suzhou Bay Grand Theater on the yacht, and go windsurfing, sailing, speedboats...

Sailing is a sport driven purely by wind. When sailing, it requires full concentration and constantly observing the changes in wind, waves, and sails.

The coach is a little beauty with great skills.

We also experienced an unpowered sailboat. Someone rowed a boat. There were also bedrooms and kitchens downstairs of the big yacht, which was suitable for group construction.

The second floor is also a dining area, but it is not as beautiful as the one floor.

The scattered view around the window on the first floor is the most beautiful and is especially suitable for taking photos.

We were large, so we each ordered a staple food and some drinks.

It was amazing when we served to the table and ate in our mouths.

On the east bank of Taihu Lake and on the east bank of Taihu Lake in Wujiang, the Suzhou Bay Grand Theater finally appeared in Suzhou Bay after years of construction.
It is the largest theater complex in Suzhou and the third largest theater complex in the country designed by international architect Christian de Bauzanbach, adding another magnificent landscape to Wujiang New City.

The Grand Theater has a main building and a lake viewing platform. Different angles have different beauty.
It is rainy in April, and the lake is filled with smoke. In the evening, the faint sunset pink and the gloomy blue sky form a painting with the high-voltage line racks in the distance.

The two metal streamers are iconic symbols, symbols of the new century, as if they have arrived in the future. Like water sleeves, it also has the charm of a water town.
The core Suzhou Bay Theater has an opera hall that can accommodate 1600 people, a 600-seat theater hall and more than ten rehearsal halls. It is also the first immersive technological performing arts theater in Asia and the world's largest-"8K Future Theater".

Address: No. 588 Yingbin Avenue, Taihu New City, Wujiang East Taihu Scenic Area, Suzhou City

Many local people don't know that there are hot springs in East Taihu Lake. From my own experience of soaking in them, the water quality is very good, the types are different, and the selenium-rich hot springs are healthy and nutritious. They are very comfortable.

We stayed at Suzhou East Taihu Hotel. The "Zhen" SPA boutique hot spring has many open-air pools hidden in the jungle.

The room has a balcony and is green in front of you. There is also a children's playground hidden on one side, a good place for parent-child travel.
It is divided into one phase and two phases. The second phase is a building, the first phase has a villa where the family can live together, and there is also a parent-child room layout.

Address: Buildings 4 and 8, Zone A, Nanshe Village, Chuangye Road, Wujiang District, Suzhou City

In popular tourist cities, I prefer the countryside with a flavor of life outside the gardens of large families.
Nanshe (shè) in the East Taihu Resort was called Jiancun in ancient times and was known as the Taihu Lake Safe Harbor. It was once a port and post station for entering and exiting Taihu Lake in the Wujiang area in the old days. The village and town have been built for thousands of years. While retaining the natural texture of Jiangnan water town villages, it also retains the mark of the times from the heyday of fishing ports and docks to the agricultural era to the present, from the heyday of commerce and trade depression.

Nanku Village used to be a lively small market, which was the only way for nearby fishermen to go fishing and work in Taihu Lake.
The Qingshui Family in Baixiangli and Nanshe, where we live, is in this rare well-preserved ancient village. A river runs through the village, and 14 buildings converted from original houses are separated on both sides of the river. There are 6 B & Bs, 1 reception and conference building, 1 Western coffee building, 1 Taihu private kitchen building, 1 supply and marketing cooperative, and 1 earthstove., 1 tea room, 1 flower house, and 1 KTV building.

The B & B houses are single-family, with three floors, and the first floor is a public area with a kitchen, dining room, living room, tea room... and four bedrooms on the second and third floors.

The room I stayed in was a parent-child room with a large bed + two bunk beds. The window is lush green, with vegetable fields on one side and wetlands and small zoo on the other.

Guests can do many things here and get close to nature.

Following the housekeeper to pick vegetables in the vegetable field, the housekeeper cooked the vegetables in a big firewood pot and served them in a short while.

On the other side of the river, there is a grassland and a pool of water. Several big geese, ducks, little rabbits, fat pigs... little daisies are in full bloom.
These places are great places to take photos.
Baixiangli has two stores in Suzhou and one in Zhenze. Zhenze Ancient Town is also worth a visit.

The restaurants are located on both sides of the river bank, with Western food on the east side and supply and marketing cooperatives on the west side. We eat breakfast and dinner there.
We watched the housekeeper cook on the earthen stove next to the supply and marketing cooperative, and the smell of fireworks in the world.

Spring bamboo shoots are super tender, squirrel mandarin fish, crayfish, boneless chicken claws, and salty river shrimp are super delicious.
Breakfast is simple and delicious, with eggs, white potatoes, especially sticky rice porridge with small pickles and soy tofu.
The B & B has barbecues, hot pot, and cooking utensils. If guests want to make them themselves, they only need to prepare their own ingredients and everything else is available.

Address: Intersection of Zhongshan South Road and Lize Road, Taihu New City, Wujiang District, Suzhou City

Shengjiashe Old Street is on the south side of Wujiang's Ancient City, and not far to the north is the famous Chuihong Bridge. After the completion of Chuihongqiao in 1048 in the Song Dynasty, commerce on both sides of the Wusong River gradually flourished. During the Hongzhi and Zhengde years of the Ming Dynasty, the Sheng family lived here all the time and was named Shengjiashe.
For many years, Shengjiashe has been one of the main commercial districts in Wujiang County. There are fish shops, butcher shops, southern goods stores, sauce shops, pancake shops, tofu shops, grocery stores, barber shops, teahouses and other shops on the street. Farmers and fishermen from Taihu Lake sell agricultural and aquatic products and buy back daily and production supplies here. Every morning, residents inside and outside the county use Shengjiashe as a vegetable market to purchase various items for their household needs.
Shengjiashe still retains the style of small bridges and flowing rivers, and dozens of shops are arranged on the street.

Business hours: 10-22:00

Address: C3-17, China Cheongsam Town, intersection of Zhongshan South Road and Lize Road, Wujiang District, Suzhou City

Today's brick-and-mortar bookstores are quite recovering, thanks to the emergence of new forms, selling books + cultural and creative products + cafes. This Zhijian Bookstore in Shengjiashe Old Street in Suzhou is known as the most beautiful bookstore in Wujiang and even Suzhou.

Rich in a strong cultural atmosphere. After traditional bookstores gradually fell out, the emergence of new composite spaces saved most physical bookstores, and some even became popular.

The bookstore has a large space. The first space is cultural and creative products + children's books, picture books, and further inside are rows of bookshelves with seats by the window for readers to read.

The space further inside is larger, with well-placed displays and scattered heights.
At the innermost end is also the Western restaurant of Zhijian Bookstore, with simple coffee meals, beautiful seats, and different light positions.
