Changshu Yushan, a city that comes but doesn't want to leave

Yushan, Changshu, Suzhou is my tourist destination for this trip. This is my first time visiting, but I am not unfamiliar with it. I often read articles related to Yushan in Changshu on online platforms, and saw many beautiful scenery, delicious food photos, and exciting videos about this city, which deeply attracted me

In a 3-day and 2-night deep tour, I used my camera and the photographer's perspective to discover the small, easily overlooked and forgotten beauty in this city... Unlocking all aspects of Changshu Yushan tourism during this special period, I have planted grass and welcome you to come and pick it up!

We have walked many roads and seen many landscapes. However, when we look back, we often find that what we are looking for is actually our original selves. We must not forget our original intention in order to always be true! This epidemic has also made us re-examine our past at home, accumulate energy... and then set off!

The beauty of sunset or sunrise is met! It's a divine fate! Seeing Changshu Yushan for the first time, this sunset touched my heart and ignited my passion for travel once again! A blade of grass or a tree can serve as a foreground, presenting an elegant Jiangnan charm. Falling in love with this city only takes one second!

The jade is made up into a tree high, with thousands of green ribbons hanging down. On the quiet surface of the lake, the gentle willow branches hang down, like thousands of gently fluttering green ribbons... outlining a natural and harmonious beauty in the sunset of Jiangnan!

Tips：

Shooting location: Chuanyue Bridge. On and off the bridge, you can capture different beautiful views. The lake in the morning and under the night is very calm, and the reflections are very beautiful! If captured using an aerial camera, the image can be taken using the Moon Bridge as the foreground.

Roaming in Yushan, immersing yourself in the embrace of nature, makes it difficult for you to step aside. If you want to stay a few more days and take a good look at this city, live like locals, and experience the charm of slow pace! It is understood that hotels and homestays in Yushan have developed rapidly in recent years, and each one has a different accommodation style. Below, I will only introduce a few representative ones for reference. (To check in, you need to present your Suzhou City Code, Health Green Code, and take a temperature test)

Recommended Accommodation (1) Changshu Yueshanxuan Holiday Leisure Hotel

This is the first and only boutique hotel in Changshu with Chinese cultural temperament, with Wu culture as the background and Yushan culture as the theme. It is the preferred hotel for quality living and business travel.

Hotel Address: No. 88 Hedingshang, Yushan Forest Farm, Changshu City (West Extension of Huanghe Road)

The theme style of a hotel is reflected in the instant impression it gives upon entering the lobby! In front of us, the tea shaped design elements that come into view are impressive. The Baibao grid hollow design screen is filled with tea utensils and ancient porcelain, and the tea art area is more characteristic of Jiangnan.

The central area of the hotel reflects the classical garden design style of Jiangnan, with long corridors, pavilions, ponds, and paths. The overall building is surrounded by tea mountains and bamboo forests, with beautiful scenery. The sound of birds chirping and the fragrance of tea waft from time to time... It is truly a natural oxygen bar! Who wouldn't yearn for such a life?!

Although there are only 33 sets of hotel rooms, they are even more precious due to their scarcity. Advance reservations are required for check-in. The room is designed with Chinese style and equipped with five-star standard facilities. Sitting on the windowsill can enjoy the entire tea garden scenery.

Tips：

It's very close to Yushan Park. Get up early in the morning to go for a run in the park, then return to the hotel to take a hot bath and have a sumptuous breakfast... Traveling is a spiritual relaxation, and choosing a hotel is very important!

Recommended Accommodation (2) Xielilinxi Homestay

The perfect renovation of an old building in Jiangnan is said to have been specially opened by the owner for his wife. The small story of this homestay has also made many girls on site envious... The homestay belongs to the architectural style of Wu Yue culture homestay, with the theme of 18 scenic spots of Yushan and people's normal lifestyle, unique and distinctive! Green tiles and white walls, lush greenery, everywhere is scenery, showcasing the owner's dedication.

Homestay address: No. 21 Jiankang Lane, Changshu City

The homestay is divided into two levels, with tea gathering as the main feature of Jiangnan. There are several tea break areas designed in the lobby, and the complete set of tea utensils is also very exquisite. Tasting tea not only enhances the aroma, but also enhances the taste of tea with beautiful tea utensils.

On the balcony of the second floor, it is a great place to enjoy the sunrise and sunset, brew a pot of good tea, have three or five friends, enjoy together, chat and laugh about the wind... The supporting decoration is also a high-end homestay style, living in it makes people feel at home and better than home, very comfortable!

Compared to hotels, homestays are more humane and offer more thoughtful services, making them a more personalized form of accommodation. Homestays can be considered a product of upgraded consumer demand. Rixie Linxi Homestay has 11 themed rooms of all sizes, and is particularly popular among young people due to its location in the city center. Surrounded by scenic spots, the transportation is very convenient.

Tips：

The design of the "Sunset Leaning in the West" homestay won the Best New Exquisite Award in the 2018 "Desired Nature - First China New Exquisite Homestay Design Competition".

Recommended Accommodation (III) Baowu Shanghu Village

Baowu Shanghu Village is a park style hotel that integrates multifunctional training and leisure vacation. It is verdant, surrounded by mountains and water, and has a pleasant scenery. In addition to the main building for training, meetings, and discussions, there is also a Shanghu Garden that integrates accommodation, catering, and fitness.

The overall planning is meticulous and in place.

For urban travel with a family of three, you can choose "Changshu Jinhai Huali Jia Hotel";

There are also many themed hotels and renovated hotels for the original Jinshi Mansion, which can be freely chosen.

In the advertising slogans promoted in the tourist city of Changshu, there is a line that says "often come to Changshu". Why do you say that? Capturing your heart, of course, is first capturing your stomach! Jiaohua chicken, hairy crab, pan fragrant cake, plum blossom cake, mushroom oil noodles, duck blood glutinous rice, Wang Si osmanthus wine... There are countless unique delicacies here. Let me take a step forward and personally appreciate it for everyone.

Tips：

Domestic tourist attractions are gradually opening for business, but due to the current epidemic, when arriving at a destination, it is important to plan your travel time reasonably. In the case of group tours, do not travel alone to other parts of the city for sightseeing or dining. The string in your mind should still be tightened! This is responsible for both oneself and others, reducing unnecessary cross contact, and it is also the duty of every citizen!

Recommended Restaurant (1) Xingfu Wangyue Building Old Noodle Restaurant

In the morning, a bowl of noodles and a cup of tea led to the life of Changshu people. How old is this old noodle shop? In fact, the boss couldn't explain it clearly. He just knew that this mushroom oil noodles was originally a vegetarian dish for monks in the temple. Later, due to the spread of pilgrims to the people and the addition of various toppings, it became a unique local delicacy.

Restaurant address: No. 146 Silu Street, Changshu City

At first sight, the environment is somewhat like the Heming Tea House in Chengdu People's Park, which is deeply loved by locals and tourists. This has become one of the iconic check-in spots in Changshu, and ultimately, the noodles here are really delicious! Mushroom oil noodles have been rated as one of the "Ten Bowls of Noodles in Suzhou" by experts and foodies.

Noodles are available in both single bowl and set meals, both vegetarian and meat. As a tourist, in order not to miss out on delicious food, it is necessary to choose a set meal (including pork chops, fried green fish, bamboo shoots, Chinese toon sprouts, shrimp, etc.). This type of noodle "watering" is an authentic pine tree mushroom (x'n) produced in Yushan, which is a wild edible fungus attached to the roots of pine trees.

A bowl of noodles has a sufficient portion, it tastes a bit oily, but don't be afraid. Drinking a cup of green tea after dinner is just right... Taste it for yourself, it's delicious, but in my opinion, what you eat is more about the environment and a local sentiment, the taste of childhood

Inside the noodle shop, there is a small museum that introduces mushroom oil noodles. It is recommended to go in and learn about the past and present of mushroom oil noodles before eating noodles, understand the food culture of Yushan in Changshu, perceive the culture, and then go eat a bowl of noodles to experience its true flavor!

Recommended Restaurant (2) Qingfeng Courtyard

Some people enjoy the bustle of Xingfu Wangyue Lou Old Noodle Restaurant, while others enjoy the tranquility and elegance of the countryside, the chirping of birds, and the fragrance of flowers. Similarly, authentic mushroom oil noodles can be enjoyed. Go to Qingfeng Courtyard, there is a healthy trail leading to it, walk between green trees and tea gardens, and embark on a lung cleansing journey.

Restaurant Address: No.1 Chenjiawu, Sanfeng Management Area, Yushan North Road

The Qingfeng Courtyard can accommodate more than 200 people for dining, with a rustic style. Many of the farmhouse dishes are for repeat customers, especially on weekends when there are mostly self driving tours from the surrounding area. There is no need to order your own food here. The owner's wife will help you order a table of dishes with excellent color, aroma, and taste according to the number of people and taste. You can also eat fresh loquat fruits during this season.

Fresh, clean, and affordable, it is also one of the characteristics of Jiangnan that one can enjoy such exquisite cuisine in rural villages. Suzhou cuisine is mostly sweet and salty, while Yushan cuisine tends to be salty, which is just right for the taste of northerners.

Recommended Restaurant (3) Wangyutai Lake Mountain Banquet Reception Hall

A restaurant by Shanghu Lake has an outdoor platform where you can enjoy the scenery of Chuanyue Bridge, suitable for guests to entertain and family gatherings.

Changshu smoked fish is a specialty dish. The whole smoked fish is cut into pieces, and the pieces are delicious. The fish meat is crispy, smooth and tender, and nutritious. In the "Song Family Health Preservation Department" of the Ming Dynasty, it was recorded in detail that "the fish was treated with Da Xuan, slightly pickled, burned with rice bran, smoked and dried. The fish was slightly pickled, fried in oil, and exposed to sunlight before being smoked.".

Restaurant Address: Beside Chuanyue Bridge, Changshu City

Lobster chicken head rice. Chicken head rice, also known as thicket, is a type of aquatic plant. It is named after the early chicken head rice bud, which resembles chicken head rice. Therefore, the meat peeled out is called chicken head rice. Chicken head rice is known as "ginseng in water" and has high nutritional value.

Recommended Restaurant (4) 9019 · Jiulingyi Jiu

The first evaluation is that it is a very small budget restaurant, with a nostalgic window design and creative dishes. This restaurant is owned by the owner of the homestay "Rixie Linxi" recommended above, with innovative thinking that is in line with modernity, and is deeply loved by young people.

Restaurant address: No. 90 Lizha Road, Xiangjiang East Road, Changshu City

I have tasted many local delicacies such as Huadiao Drunken Crab, Xuyi crayfish, and Tiger Spot, but it is not limited to these. Steamed vegetables are also the most unique, as well as fried chicken, wine cakes, plum blossom cake, osmanthus chestnuts, and so on. For now, I will leave them for my next trip to Changshu

Changshu Yushan has been famous for a long time! The natural scenery is fresh and beautiful, with a long history and culture. The poem by the Ming Dynasty poet Shen Xuan, describing Changshu, goes: "The seven streams and flowing water are all connected to the sea, and half of the ten mile green mountains enter the city." It praises the beautiful scenery of the hometown and has been passed down to this day, sung by future generations. When traveling, sleeping well and eating well are the top priority. The above has been unlocked in detail for everyone... So, what are some good places to visit that are different from regular attractions? As someone who doesn't follow the usual path, I personally pick some and share them with everyone. Quickly collect them.

Recommended Experience Points (1) Yushan Ecological Trail

The Yushan Ecological Trail is built around Yushan, with Zhenhaitai as the entrance image. Paved on mountains, canyons, water cliffs, small islands, jungles, waterfront, flower gardens, and grasslands, it is a road that fully integrates into the natural landscape, providing visitors with different visual experiences and recreational enjoyment.

I took a short walk from Yushan South Road to Fuchengmen this time, with a plastic road surface and beautiful scenery. There are many maple trees on both sides, and I believe it will be even more beautiful in autumn! There will also be cultural display signs on both sides of the trail, allowing you to understand the culture and customs of Changshu Yushan while resting.

Recommended Experience Points (2) Qixi Flowing Coffee Bar

After entering the south gate of Yushan City Wall Scenic Area, you can see a very clearly marked directional sign. Shortly after going up, you will pass by a coffee bar, where you can also drink tea. There are two lofts. The boss is a beautiful woman, so he plays the piano very well and is very hospitable. He introduces tourists to all aspects of Yushan in Changshu and exchanges interesting travel experiences with each other.

Traveling more often will lead to the formation of one's own way of traveling. Each city has its own unique personality, and a hurried walk to admire the scenery is one way; On the other hand, schedule a must visit attraction for half a day, then stop to find a quiet place, order a cup of coffee or a pot of tea to rest for the entire afternoon, and you will discover and capture more information about the city.

Recommended Experience Points (3) Yushan Gate Ancient City Wall

The coffee bar comes out, extending the city wall staircase all the way up to the Yushan Gate City Tower. Most of the ancient city walls and towers in southern Jiangsu are built across water, and this is the only ancient city wall built along the mountain, with a total length of 1400 meters, known as the "Little Great Wall of Jiangnan"! Looking back and overlooking along the way, one can enjoy the beautiful urban landscape of Yushan in Changshu.

Under the east gate lies the city wall, while the Yushan Gate overlooks the city tower, magnificent and spectacular! The ancient city wall of Changshu, which has a history of over 1700 years, has left many legendary stories for future generations

Yushan Park was founded in 1931. There are many types of plants and many people in the park, and the main attractions include Yiqing Tower, Ciyun Stone, etc. The park is surrounded by pavilions, pavilions, and winding bridges, which are rich in the characteristics of Jiangnan gardens. As a free park, it is open to the public. Upon entering the park, you can see the Yiqing Garden, which is a tea house and has been listed in the Suzhou Garden List.

After leaving the Yiqing Garden, turn right to continue your tour. Pavilions, towers, small bridges, and flowing water... People can't help but play! Various instruments are played rhythmically, bringing a joyful atmosphere to the people in the park! Presenting the normalcy of local life in Yushan, Changshu!

Recommended Experience Points (5) Yanyuan

Yan Yuan is located in Xinfeng Lane, Changshu Ancient City District, and is a garden with unique Jiangnan characteristics. Although it only covers an area of 4 acres, the layout of the buildings inside is reasonable and orderly, and it can be said that the world is visible every inch!

Yan Valley was a yellow stone rockery built by Jiang Yinpei, who invited the famous Jiangnan mountaineer Ge Yuliang to use the Yushan Jianmen as a blueprint and Yushan Huangshi as a material. The stacked rockeries not only have the appearance of distant mountains, but also have distinct layers of rock texture, making them seamlessly integrated, like real mountains and valleys.

Walking inside through the long corridor, there is a unique cave, highlighting the Yan Garden's sentiment of winning with stones, and seeing the 72 stone monkeys and other lifelike creatures. Visiting Yanyuan is like walking into a maze made up of stacked stones. The layout of Yan Garden can be described as ingenious and unique, with sixteen famous Yan Garden landscapes.

In a corner of Yanyuan, there is a Bingling Palace Theater, which was added in the 59th year of the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty (1794). In the tenth year of the Xianfeng reign (1860), the Taiping Army occupied Changshu and, while destroying the Linggong Hall, carried out major renovations to the theater. They also performed plays here to inspire officers and soldiers.

Lacing is not unfamiliar to many people in Changshu. Let's visit Xie Yanyue, a representative inheritor of the lace technique of Changshu's intangible cultural heritage. Teacher Xie showcased some exquisite lace works from these years! Introduced the origin and development history of lace. In my memory, when I was young, I saw these lace products covering the tables and sofas at home, which indeed influenced a generation.

Recommended Experience Points (6) Zeng Zhaoyuan

Zeng Yuan, formerly known as Xu Kuo Yuan, was the former residence of Zeng Pu, a Chinese novelist and publisher in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, and the author of "Nie Hai Hua". During the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty, Zeng Pu's father, Zeng Zhizhuan, resigned from his official position and returned to his hometown. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, he supervised the construction of a part of the "Xiaowangchuan" garden site by the imperial censor Qian Dai and set up camp as his home. It began in the ninth year of Guangxu and was completed in the twentieth year, more than 120 years ago.

Zengyuan is known as "half city, half wilderness, half mountain, half water". The park can be generally divided into the southern and northern districts. The southern district has a courtyard style layout in Jiangnan, with main buildings including "Returning to Farmland for Classroom Reading", "Entertainment and Sunshine Grass Hall", "Gentleman's Longevity Room", "Longevity and Health Room", etc.

The North District is the backyard garden, centered around the water surface and surrounded by pavilions and rockeries. The main pond is home to thousands of lotus leaves, earning it the reputation of the "Lotus World". It was once a great place to admire lotus in the ancient city, and among the 18 scenic spots of Mount Yu, it was named "Zeng Yuan Lotus Fragrance". Every year, tourists come here to admire lotus.

Zhao Garden covers less than 10 acres and is adjacent to Zeng Garden. During the reign of Emperor Tongzhi and Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty, Zhao Lie, a civil servant from Changzhou who resigned from his position and resided in Changshu, moved to the governor of Zhili Prefecture. After acquiring this garden, he, along with his wife Deng Tingzhen's daughter Deng Jiaxiang and his brother-in-law Deng Jiaji, jointly participated in the garden affairs and re repaired the garden, which was then called "Zhao Garden", "Zhao Wuyuan", and "Zhao Huyuan".

The "Nengjing Residence" to the north of the pool is the main hall of Zhao Garden, a mountain style building. During the Republic of China period, Zhao Garden was purchased by Sheng Xuanhuai, a native of Changzhou, and served as the lower courtyard of Changzhou Tianning Temple, named "Ningjing Lotus Society". In 2004, Zhao Garden was able to be renovated.

Zong Hongxing, a representative inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage of Yushan Zheshi inkstone in Changshu City, was able to meet in Jingju. I consulted Teacher Hong about the history and production process of Yushan ochre inkstone.

Zhe Shi is a natural mineral pigment and one of the main pigments in Chinese painting. According to historical records, the Zhe Shi of Yushan has a delicate texture and rich color, making it an ideal pigment for traditional Chinese painting. It was produced in Yushan, Changshu, Jiangsu.

Huang Gongwang, a great painter of the Yuan Dynasty who holds an important position in the history of Chinese art, is the leader of the "Four Masters of the Yuan Dynasty". His representative work "Dwelling in Fuchun Mountain" is known as "Lanting in the Painting". He has in-depth research on the ocher of Yushan, and his unique "shallow crimson landscape" has led the way in Chinese art for hundreds of years. This ocher of Yushan has achieved Huang Gongwang's brilliant life. The usage of ochre inkstone is extremely simple, that is, using ochre inkstone mixed with water to grind into ochre color, and then adding glue to form high-quality ochre pigment. Throughout history, great painters have regarded Yushan ochre as a precious pigment.

Recommended Experience Points (7) Guqin Art Museum

He inherits the Yushan School's tradition of "simplicity, vastness, and peace", and his qin music style is natural and natural, combining the elegance of Wei and Jin dynasties with the artistic conception of Song poetry. His unrestrained and varied performance has elevated the Yushan Qin style to a new height, renowned in today's qin industry.

Recommended Experience Points (8) Fengxi Cultural and Art Center

The vision goal of the founder of Fengxi is to have every woman own a Qipao from the Fengxi brand. Fengxi clothing was launched in 1998, based on China's profound national heritage, softening the inspiration of Western palace art and Japanese kimono. It perfectly integrates classical and modern aesthetics, presenting a classical romantic atmosphere in clothing design. Its finished garments are permeated with an elegant French style atmosphere.

Fengxi Cultural and Art Center is a cultural and tourism integration enterprise that integrates cultural roots, creative origins, and participatory experiences. The museum is divided into multiple areas, and entering the art center is like entering a qipao museum, telling the history, culture, and development process of qipao from multiple dimensions; Further inside is the tea art rest area, reception area, classified display area for qipao and jewelry, experience area, etc., allowing everyone who comes here to have a comprehensive understanding of Fengxi.

Experience is the key to gaining a deeper understanding and finding the cheongsam that truly suits oneself. This business philosophy is also in line with the development of the times! A purchasing method that everyone likes! Qipao can indeed showcase the beauty of women very well, but the effect of wearing it varies for women with different body shapes. The purpose of experiencing it first is also to make better modifications before designing! Create a unique qipao that suits the customer.

Experiencing making a buckle is also a very interesting experience project. It looks simple, but it's not that easy to do. It requires some logical thinking, cleverness, and patience! The pre made buckle can be worn on cheongsam, coat, or backpack, providing a strong sense of decoration! Ensure a high return rate when going out!

Recommended Experience Points (9) Changshu Shanghu Golf Course

Shanghu Golf Course was designed by Nelson Haworth and was built in 2011. It is the only championship style course in Changshu with 18 holes and 72 standard strokes. The golf course has won a good reputation from customers for its excellent lawn quality and excellent service quality. Every day, many golf enthusiasts and professional players come here to practice. The stadium has hosted well-known golf events in the Suzhou area, such as the Suzhou Golf Championship and Suzhou Youth Golf Tour, for three consecutive years.

Recommended Experience Points (10) Shanghu Scenic Area

The first thing that catches your eye is the tourist center square of Changshu Yushan Cultural Tourism Resort, which has a large area and a very standardized design! As far as the eye can see, various types of multifunctional service venues are clearly labeled and have complete functions! It makes people feel the urge to quickly enter the scenic area and have some fun!

When entering the tourist center, of course, you must first show your Su city code and take your temperature to ensure safety during the epidemic. The design of the words "One City, Mountains and Waters, Free Life" further highlights the profound cultural and ecological tourism characteristics of the local area, allowing tourists to immerse themselves in it and immediately experience the rich charm of the resort.

Shanghu Scenic Area, according to legend, "Shanghu" was named after Jiang Taigong's seclusion and fishing during the late Shang Dynasty. A city of mountains and waters, this water is Shanghu. Passing through Changshou Bridge, you can officially enter the scenic area for sightseeing. This bridge is 48 meters long and 12 meters wide. In the middle of the bridge, there is a collection of 139 different forms of longevity character patterns, with a focus on check-in. Don't miss it!

With such a beautiful lake surface, there is no shortage of boat rides. Take a boat ride and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Shanghu from another perspective!

Shanghu Lake has a water forest, which is an ecological wetland of nearly 200000 square meters. Strolling along the boardwalk, you can see various waterbirds flying freely in the forest, making it a good place to shoot birds. It is suitable for using a photography head of over 800mm. You can also take a raft and slowly drive into the forest, where you can have close contact with birds.

The epidemic is gradually recovering, and domestic tourist attractions are also opening up one after another. Many people travel and play together like this every day. This wave of handsome men and beautiful women came specifically from Shanghai to play. You can tell how happy they are by looking at their happy smiles on their faces! Indeed, everyone has been suffocating for the past few months and needs to come out and get grounded! Normal life!

Once again, liking the signage of the scenic area always appears at critical turning points! Let individual tourists no longer get lost or take a detour due to not seeing signs while playing!

Tips：

Ticket prices: 80 yuan/person during peak season and 60 yuan/person during off-season

Recommended Experience Points (11) Nansu Academy Cultural and Creative Space

The cultural and creative space of Nansu Academy is based on Jiangnan culture, with Yushan as its core element. It is a platform for regular exchange and sharing meetings and cultural and creative markets. The courtyard design is beautiful, and various functional areas are well-equipped. It is indeed a place for tranquility and creative inspiration. Here, everyone can find their favorite way of life. If you have the opportunity to visit Yushan in Changshu, you can also visit it. The tea at Nansu Academy is also very good.

It is understood that the total area of Nan Su Yuan is about 2000 square meters, of which the outdoor space is about 1800 square meters and the indoor space is about 400 square meters. It is equipped with a multifunctional conference room, three guest tea houses, two studios, five unique outdoor cultural and creative spaces, and a lotus pond pavilion landscape area.

During this period, when it comes to traveling, I believe everyone's primary concern is the traffic situation and safety precautions when taking transportation! This 3-day and 2-night trip to Yushan in Changshu, Suzhou was my first long-distance trip after the easing of the epidemic. To be honest, I feel quite uneasy. I packed all kinds of portable protective equipment early on... and prepared a few more medical masks, disposable gloves, disinfectant tissues, and so on.

The disinfection and protection measures at high-speed railway stations are still very good, and people have a strong awareness of protection. Everyone wears masks, whether walking or queuing to enter the station, consciously maintains a safe distance, and their temperature is measured when entering the station.

After arriving at Suzhou North Station, exit the station in an orderly manner, and you can see staff busy working for the safety of passengers during the epidemic on both the platform and inside the station. Take good precautions, travel has become a norm.

High speed rail plan

Travel: G107 Beijing South Station 08:15 to Suzhou North Station 13:19

Return journey: G146 Suzhou North Station 15:20- Beijing South Station 20:48

What protective measures are available on high-speed trains

1. High speed rail tickets only sell seats for three people by the window, three people by the side lane, and two people by the window. The remaining seats are not sold when they are empty. That is to say, each three seater can seat up to two people (with a space for one person in the middle), while a double seater can only seat one person.

2. There will be staff spraying disinfection inside the carriage and in the restroom after a period of time.

How to dine on high-speed trains

During the epidemic, high-speed rail dining cars are temporarily closed, and passengers are required to dine in their own seats. There is a food delivery service on board.

During this period, there have been many reports and articles about the impact of the epidemic on the tourism industry, and some well-known tourism platforms have also frequently withdrawn from the ranks. From an industry perspective, it is an integration of survival of the fittest, and it is always those large platform enterprises that persist in diversified development. Everyone's work should actually have a Plan B, and not be affected by any sudden events that affect their original quality of life.

Although I felt a bit uneasy during this long trip, it was actually very safe all the way. The key is that everyone was very conscious of wearing masks, keeping a distance, accepting green code checks and temperature checks... They used public chopsticks for dining around the table! The facilities in the hotel and rooms have also been disinfected to ensure a more secure stay!

Tourism has already become a way of life for the whole nation, and it is difficult to easily break this norm! So, with the strong support of the country, the tourism industry after the epidemic is bound to ignite waves of enthusiasm. Relax your mindset, don't take off your mask, and wait for everything to be okay!
