When it comes to traveling to Suzhou, many people first think of Gusu District. As a traditional old urban area in Suzhou, Gusu has indeed left behind many precious historical and cultural heritage of Suzhou over the years. With the rapid development of Suzhou's economy, Suzhou travel is no longer just a single Suzhou model.

More and more tourists who enjoy exploring niche authentic cultures have gradually discovered Xiangcheng as a treasure trove with numerous new internet celebrity check-in points, which are worth savoring. Nature, culture, cuisine, night tours... Today, Xiangcheng has become an important tourist resort in Suzhou.

When I first heard about the beauty legs, I was filled with curiosity and imagination about such a scenic spot. It wasn't until I actually arrived here that I suddenly realized that the origin of its name was due to the shape of this place resembling the legs of a beautiful woman. At the same time, this place is also one of the birthplaces of Wu culture, with precious historical and cultural landscapes of the "Ten Wonders of Xiangcheng".

Walking on the island of beautiful legs, everything feels so natural and comfortable. No wonder every weekend, urbanites from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai like to escape to such a paradise, with the lake and water colors, pastoral scenery, lush trees, and clusters of flowers.

Instead of asking if there are any tourist attractions here that need to be checked in, it's better to calm down and choose an ideal resting place. Taking a walk and daydreaming by the lake is also a kind of enjoyment? At present, this area has formed a certain scale and system in the theme content of parent-child travel and rural tourism. Various one-stop vacation hotels and delicious and fun places gather here.

Especially in the upcoming autumn, this place will inevitably become even hotter due to the arrival of Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs. Seize the tail of summer and come here to let it fly while the tide of people is still pouring in!

When it comes to the second precious land in Yangcheng Lake, it is believed that in the eyes of many people, there will also be a location on Lianhua Island. Similar to the naming of the beautiful leg, Lotus Island is named after its shape that resembles a blooming lotus flower.

There is no transportation on the entire Lotus Island, and only about 300 indigenous households are left to raise hairy crabs here, making the natural scenery particularly charming. Strolling along the scenic corridor by the lake, although it is already past the season of lotus flowers, one can still enjoy many beautiful white lotus flowers here.

In the endless lawn, sometimes a large flock of birds fly by. In that moment, I felt so close and integrated with nature. There are also many facilities on the lawn for children to play with, which can free up the hands of parents.

It should be noted that there is only one ship docked on the island approximately every hour, so be sure to go to the dock for detailed official information before boarding to avoid missing the boarding time. When it comes to the dock, one cannot help but mention the Yangcheng Lake Tourism Distribution Center Dock, which is known as one of the "most beautiful passenger stations in the world".

The appearance of this dock adopts a minimalist design style, with uneven pillars interlocking with each other. From a distance, it looks like a thatched cottage located by the seaside, giving it a sense of vacation. This is also a newly popular check-in point in Suzhou, attracting countless passing tourists to take group photos.

On the island, there are also attractions such as Memorial Garden, Lotus Bookstore, Parent Child Park, and Barbecue Area. You can further understand the lives of the islanders by exploring these places; You can also bring your dear family and friends on a brand new and different vacation journey.

Fengmenglong Village, located at the junction of Suzhou and Wuxi, has the most simple and natural rural flavor. I still remember a few years ago, this village was called "Xinxiang Village". Later, it was renamed Feng Menglong Village in memory of an important folk literature master in Chinese history - Feng Menglong.

At present, the Fengmenglong Village area has formed a series of scenic spots such as the former residence of Feng Menglong, the Feng Menglong Memorial Hall, and the Feng Menglong Academy. And the above-mentioned attractions are all open to tourists for free. Through this unique exploration trip to Feng Menglong Village, I believe you will have a deeper understanding and appreciation of the significant historical achievements made by this great man.

The first stop for foraging in Suzhou Xiangcheng is to start from Shibazao, the land of fish and rice! The antique design style of the restaurant quickly caught our attention. Arriving at the courtyard of the restaurant, there is also an iconic stage in the middle. Every night as night falls, there will be dedicated performers performing traditional Chinese opera here, which is very ceremonial.

The dining area can be either on an outdoor terrace or in a more private and clean private room. To enjoy delicious food here, the ingredients are the first to win at the starting line. When it comes to the signature dishes here, it's hard to count them with just ten fingers: farmhouse chicken soup, soy sauce river shrimp, roasted duck, chicken soup steamed bowl, June yellow

If you don't have a local leader leading the way, it's quite easy to get turned off if you want to eat at this restaurant. As a well-known Chinese restaurant under the Xike Hotel in Yangcheng Lake, Suzhou, Yangcheng Yuyin enjoys a great reputation and has received excellent reviews among Chinese restaurants in the Yangcheng Lake area.

Firstly, in terms of the restaurant's design style, it fully showcases its high-end style. Adopting a Japanese style and wind design style, shooting in the outdoor area of the restaurant is really easy to produce large films in minutes. A calm lake, lush dog tail grass, secluded paths, and minimalist houses... It's unbelievable that located in such a pure land, it's actually a farmhouse.

Don't just focus on the design of the restaurant, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine here also has a considerable level of quality. Soy bean noodle soup with June yellow is the signature dish here. The crab meat is plump and delicious, paired with a rich and flavorful sauce, which is simply irresistible. Yuyin Braised pork belly is also the signature here.

The environment is quite quiet, which is another important reason why many people like to choose this place.

Braised pork belly in Brown Sauce, Miscellaneous Fish, Beef Fillet with Green Peppers, Braised Fish in Brown Sauce, Scrambled Eggs... You can taste many home-made dishes here. Not far from the entrance, there are also large lotus ponds and vineyards.

As an authentic Cantonese, my favorite program at night is going to the night market. Even when I come to Suzhou, I always have no free time at night and want to find a place where I can wear slippers and eat and drink easily. Vitality Island Night Market, currently the largest night market area in Suzhou Xiangcheng, is believed to become a new favorite for many people.

The area of the entire Vitality Island night market is very large, even larger than the many Taipei night markets we have visited before. There is a wide variety of products here, with everything available and overwhelming. Although the size of night market stalls is generally not large, it is not difficult to find good things.

Fresh fruits, melons, and fruits are often cheaper to find here than in the market. Many local fruit farmers have also voluntarily applied for stalls and sell their goods here every night. Fun games and programs are also constantly emerging, such as game consoles and live KTVs, which are good places to gather popularity.

If you are tired from strolling in the night market, why not start your late night journey at a small restaurant early. On the last night of such a celebratory trip to Suzhou, we chose to go to a large restaurant to have barbecue. In the bustling Vitality Island night market, it's rare to find such a private place where you can chat with friends, drink beer, eat barbecue, and imagine living a happy life like this. How long has it been since you enjoyed it well?

In addition to the Vitality Island Night Market, the Wangting Night Market, known as the "Daoxiang Town" and full of fashionable and artistic atmosphere, as well as the High Speed Rail New City Night Market that combines neighboring markets, lipstick art exhibitions, new city food blocks, and campus talent competitions, are all worth unlocking one by one.

The hotel's guest room design is very simple and fashionable. Looking out from the balcony at Yangcheng Lake, a peaceful and comfortable afternoon is within your control. You can reach the Lotus Island Pier by walking, and the surrounding farmhouses, Huayi Movie World, Lianchi Lake Park, etc. are also good places for leisure and relaxation.

If you want to be closer to the center of Xiangcheng District, it is highly recommended to stay at this newly opened Pullman Suzhou Zhonghui Hotel last year. The hotel is located in the core area of Xiangcheng, showcasing elements such as art, high technology, and vitality. The Pullman brand has always attached great importance to its integration with art and culture. When you come here, be sure to take the time to stroll through Pullman's art gallery.
