It's a pleasure to have friends coming from afar!

Several friends came to my hometown of Changshu, Jiangsu Province for a vacation and accompanied them for a walk in the Shajiabang Scenic Area. As Changshu's most well-known IP, it is perfect to come here to experience the Jiangnan water town.

It's the annual lotus viewing season again. Recently, large tracts of lotus flowers have bloomed in Shajiabang Scenic Area, full of Jiangnan artistic conception. I like the elegance of lotus flowers very much, don't you?

Shajiabang Luedang Scenic Area is a national patriotic education demonstration base, one hundred classic red tourism scenic spots in the country, a national 5A-level tourist area, and one of the largest ecological wetlands in East China.

Transportation here is very convenient. It takes an hour by high-speed train from Shanghai, and it takes only half an hour to drive to Suzhou. It only takes more than 20 kilometers by taxi from Changshu Station to Shajiabang Scenic Area.

Take a leisure vacation in summer and experience life in the water town, which is quiet and comfortable. I have compiled a detailed tour guide for Shajiabang Scenic Area for you. You can collect if you need it.

18:00 pm| Stay in a B & B in the scenic area

If you arrive early that day, you can visit Changshu Laocheng District.

This is a thousand-year-old city in the south of the Yangtze River. Whether it is the antique Liuxian River, Fangta Garden, Yan Garden, and Zeng Zhao Garden, they are all very close and have the original Jiangnan style.

In the evening, stay at Jiangnan Luhua Bay B & B in Shajiabang Scenic Area.

Luhua Bay, Jiangnan, this is a B & B I like. I booked in advance the Luhua Side Courtyard of the B & B.

This is my favorite No. 2 courtyard, full of holiday style.

The small courtyard has three rooms and a living room. There is also a teahouse in the attic and a large courtyard.

Butler services, hardware facilities match high-end boutique hotels, and great lighting.

I also like the "East House Nayuan" building very much. It is industrial and fashionable. It can accommodate up to six people. In the evening, you can have tea and chat in the living room to talk about common memories of the past.

This building also has three guest rooms, all of which are large and have separate bathrooms.

19:00 pm| Enjoy a stroll in the evening

The B & B has a large lotus pond. In the evening, when the sun sets, you can take a leisurely walk and enjoy the lotus.

The sound of frogs and the chirping of cicadas makes it so good to have a 5A scenic spot. You can also take a swim in the yard and do everything you want.

09:30 a.m.| Sha Nao Bai Cai Yuan


I slept in the next morning, and after having a hearty breakfast at the B & B, I went to Grandma Sha's Hundred Vegetable Garden to experience the fun of picking.

We picked a lot of young tomatoes and cucumbers that day, and we had a full harvest and were as happy as children. At the end of picking, we will be weighed and charged. It is very affordable and naturally healthy.

10:00 a.m.| Shasilong Yule Park

I also went to the Sha Silong Fishing Park opposite Grandma Sha's Baicai Garden to experience fishing and crab catching and feel the joy of the people in the water town.

It's interesting to pull up the fishing net quickly and rely on luck to gain anything. The little friend harvested two fish and a few crabs and said it was fun.

10:30 a.m.| Experience amphibious vehicles

There are really more and more fun projects in Shajiabang Scenic Area! You can also go to the amphibious commando team in Shajiabang National Defense Park to experience amphibious vehicles.

There are two people sitting in one car, wearing camouflage life jackets and creating a cool look.

This car is really cool. It's really exciting to drift around the land and drive into the river. 50 yuan per capita is worth experiencing.

11: 30am| Foraging in Hengjing Old Street

At noon, you can go to the farmhouse at the entrance of the scenic area for lunch, you can also go to the Luyi Resort Hotel restaurant at the entrance of Shajiabang Scenic Area to order a few dishes, or go to Hengjing Old Street to taste local snacks.

This Hengjing Old Street is an ancient town restored for the filming of the TV series "Shajiabang". It preserves the old appearance of rural buildings, absorbs the essence of Jiangnan towns, and recreates the urban customs of the 1930s and 1940s.

Wooden pillar corridors, stone bridges, alleys, folk houses on the pillow river, small shops on the old streets under various disguises, such as iron-forging shops, cloth dyeing workshops, chicken shops... Everything you need.

You can go to a snack bar called "Pi Xian Jie Dang" and have a bowl of wontons, a few green balls, or a bowl of summer exclusive mung bean soup.

12.30 p.m.| Lunch break in Luhua Bay, Jiangnan

Summer days when cicadas are chirping are very suitable for taking a nap.

Setting aside more than an hour for nap after lunch is the greatest respect for summer. If you are coming to Shajiabang Scenic Area, you are also recommended to live in the scenic area.

The price of the B & B includes tickets to Shajiabang Scenic Area and round-trip transportation by a battery car, which is not expensive.

14:00 pm| Ludang Beacon Fire Live Drama

The live-action drama "Ludang Beacon Fire" in Ludang Theater is worth seeing.

Based on the story of the military and civilians in the Shajiabang area uniting as one, breaking the enemy's trick of sealing the lake, and successfully covering the sick and wounded, it uses a variety of high-tech means such as explosion and water explosion, and cooperates with special effects such as water airship performances. The shocking sound, light and electricity scenes, the real residential architectural shape brings an audio-visual feast.


The key is also particularly funny, not so serious, and often the whole house laughs.

15:00 pm| Chunlai Teahouse Afternoon Tea House


Shajiabang, Aunt Aqing, Chunlai Teahouse... If you have never heard of Changshu, you must have heard of Shajiabang.

When you come to Changshu Shajiabang Scenic Area, you must go to the Chunlai Teahouse in Hengjing Old Street for a cup of tea.

Chipping on melon seeds, drinking tea, listening to Wu Nong's soft dialect Pingtan, and listening to the chirping of cicadas outside the window, it is full of the artistic conception of Jiangnan in summer.

I ordered a cup of green tea, lotus seeds and tremella soup, Dingsheng cake... There was green outside the window.

16:00 pm| reed labyrinth hand boat


When you come to Changshu Shajiabang Scenic Area, you must experience the reed maze.

Get on the hand-cranked boat, listen to the boatwoman sing a boat song of "Changshu Mandarin", and sway and sway through the reed swamps.

Rivers and ports are crisscrossed, and reeds are lush, making it a beautiful Jiangnan.

17:30 p.m.| Feel the cuisine of Jiangnan Water Town

I couldn't be bothered to go out to eat at night, so I ordered a few watertown dishes at the restaurant of Jiangnan Luhua Bay B & B. This season, my favorite is steamed with hairy beans in June yellow, which is very delicious.

Steamed white shredded fish, salted river shrimp... They are all local aquatic products, fresh and visible.

Shajiabang chicken set off by lotus leaves, cold dishes wrapped in lotus flowers, and hot dishes decorated with lotus roots are all in color, aroma, and you can feel the chef's intention when served.

19:00 pm| Beautiful Iron Striking Flower Performance

Shajiabang Scenic Area at night, ever since the performance of "Hengjing Never Nights" is really super lively!


Because I lived in the Jiangnan Luhua Bay B & B in the scenic area and was very close to the performance, I had dinner at the B & B at night and staggered through Hengjing to the Ludang Theater to watch the performance. It was leisurely.


I booked in advance for the Ludang Night Package C, which includes three scenes: "Iron Flower Danxin","Ludang Night", and "Dark Battle in Shajiabang". The package includes a total of 100 yuan and a special summer price.

The performance of Iron Flower Danxin was so wonderful that several friends were watching Iron Flower for the first time and were amazed.

This is the oldest fireworks in China, setting off the dark night with a beautiful romance.

19:30 pm| Immersive reed-swinging night

Coming out of the shock of iron-forging flowers, followed by an immersive performance on Hengjing Old Street.

"Spend one night looking for a story and meeting an era in an old street. "" Ludang Night "allows you to travel through time and enter the story.

20:05 pm| Immersive theater secret war

The night is getting deeper, and at the Hengjing Theater, not far from Hengjing Old Street, another grand finale is about to begin. It is the large-scale live-action performance "Dark Battle in Shajiabang".

The half-hour performance of "The Dark Battle of Shajiabang" was exciting every minute, and the lineup should not be underestimated, making people dizzying. Moreover, the costumes, lighting, and actors are all quite professional.

After the performance of "Dark Battle in Shajiabang" ended, we slowly returned to the B & B to rest, only three minutes 'walk.

Friends all sighed: I didn't expect that Shajiabang Scenic Area would be so rich in activities throughout the day. It was so surprising.

Changshu is a city that needs to be tasted slowly so that you can gradually understand its beauty. It is not enough to experience the city for three days and two nights.

Jiangnan blessed land often comes to Changshu.
