D3,06-22, On Tuesday, the four of us arrived early at 6:50 and had already gathered in the lobby. Today's plan was to have breakfast at the Songhe Noodle Restaurant on Guanqian Street, from Humble Administrator's Garden to Suzhou Museum, Beisi Pagoda to Pingjiang Road.



We are the former Liu Lang. Once again, we came to Guanqian Street and sat in the Pine and Crane Noodle Restaurant in the Pine and Crane Tower. When we ordered, the soup head was red and white. Ping was plain red Noodles in soup. Ting was money mushroom red Noodles in soup. The rest two, Zhang, fried three fresh noodles of white soup. I, the Maodou mother-in-law's noodles of white soup. The master of the shop asked if there were any requirements? Ping to indicate that the surface should be as rotten as possible.


At this time, there are only four of us eating noodles. I took a break and walked around the shop. The whole arrangement felt like entering the museum. The introduction of various Noodles in soup, the slang cuts related to the noodle shop, as well as the tableware, table seats, celebrity calligraphy, painting and calligraphy, and food stamps in various places in difficult times. I almost forgot about eating noodles.


7: At 30, breakfast was over, and we called for a taxi on Linton Road to the Humble Administrator's Garden.


Along the way, the driver introduced the amusement park in Suzhou, such as Hanshan Temple and Huqiu. We were just perfunctory, but when it came to Suzhou's food, it was refreshing and resonating. When the driver talked about squirrel and mandarin fish, the price of Songhe Tower and Yuelou Tower was too expensive, which was a scam to foreign markets. What do we say? We just went there yesterday. Did we go to the foreign market? The master was talkative, and talked about Noodles in soup in Suzhou. If you want to eat it, you can eat it in small workshops, such as the Delicious Restaurant on the Northwest Street, and others, such as Yuxingji Zhu Hongxing, are full of franchise stores and chains. No amount of Noodles in soup masters can be separated. We were instantly embarrassed, and breakfast was at the Songhe Noodle Restaurant. The master smiled and said, "Oh no, it's foreign dishes again.". In the words, the Humble Administrator's Garden arrived at a starting price, and we thanked him. With the master's words, we made two foreign market transactions in an instant.


Tickets for Humble Administrator's Garden are available for non peak season at RMB 70. There is no discount, but there is time to choose. We are among the first batch, just in time for the arrival of a large group of tourists.



Humble Administrator's Garden is tranquil and sparse, with high walls and walls standing tall. We choose the main gate from among its three gates to enter. Is the entrance hall surrounded by three peaks of lake stones, graceful and graceful? Xuan Ang? Focusing on lines, naturally flowing nosebleeds, said to be graceful; Those who pay attention to height should be tough, and this is Xuan Ang.



We have prepared sufficient strategies in advance for the tour path of Humble Administrator's Garden: Entrance - Lan Xue Tang - Stone Rocket Mountain - Hibiscus Pavilion - Tianquan Pavilion - Shu Xiang Guan - Guangyan Pavilion - Wu Zhu Dwelling - Waiting Frost Pavilion - Xue Xiang Yun Wei - Lotus Wind Four Sided Pavilion - Yuan Xiang Tang - Xiu Qi Pavilion - Yi Yu Xuan - Xiao Cang Lang - Xiao Fei Hong - Xiang Zhou - Unique Cave - Yi Liang Ting (Yu Lan Tang) -36 Yuan Yang Pavilion/18 Mandala Flower Pavilion - Liu Ting Ge - Sitting with Who Xuan (- Fu Cui Ge) - Inverted Shadow Tower - Jian Shan Lou - Lv Yi Ting - Haitang Chunwu - Tingyuxuan - Linglong Hall - Jiashi Pavilion - Garden Museum - Exit.


We entered the scenic area through the entrance of the cave, and the Lanxue Hall became a beautiful sight. This is the main hall of the East Garden of Humble Administrator's Garden. In front of the Lanxue Hall, several tourists followed the tour guide and listened to a series of commentary. When it comes to the couplets of Humble Administrator's Garden, with lotus flowers on four sides and willows on three sides, half a pond and autumn water and half a room and a mountain, the tourists present blurted it out. This is a utilitarianism, not an original one. The source is the four sided lotus flowers and three sided willows on three sides of the Daming Lake in Jinan, with half a city and half a city. Color! As spectators, we cannot help but be drawn in, with a poetic and scholarly aura in our stomachs, talented individuals, and even Baidu is helpless. The experts are among the people!



There are three tourist paths in Dongyuan, all surrounding the lotus pond. One is Lanxue Hall Hanqing Pavilion Zhongyuan; Secondly, Lanxuetang Guangyanting Zhongyuan; Thirdly, Lanxuetang - Furong Pavilion - Tianquan Pavilion - Shuxiang Pavilion - Zhongyuan. We are walking west of Lanxuetang, along the stone path next to the waterway, and up the hill is the Guangyan Pavilion, facing the Shuxiang Pavilion across the water to the north. To the south, there is a half pavilion facing the street wall, named Hanqing.


We didn't go directly to Zhongyuan, but instead entered the owner's residential courtyard through a semi open side door on the west side. Firstly, there was a guest room, and now a tea room has been opened. The main house also needs to enter from the west, and the north is the main house. A group of young ladies walked in and out of the hall between the side doors of Huipu, leaving their youthful and most beautiful appearance here.



We returned to the original path and walked up a corridor from the East Garden. A chiseled door was set up on the side of the Goose Pond, and entering was the heaven and earth of the Central Garden. We can see the endless green lotus leaves connecting the sky and the Beisi Pagoda standing in the distance. It is a textbook like example of borrowing scenery and the essence of Suzhou gardens.




On the side, there is a secluded residence of idle pavilions and bamboo trees. The doors to the east, west, north, and south are open. To the south, there is a hint of spring on a small bridge and flowing water. To the west, there is a pool of summer scenery of lotus flowers and leaves. There are also bamboo shadows in autumn to the north, or frost on winter tiles to the east.


We headed west, crossed a small bridge, and flipped over the mountains. We didn't rest in the waiting frost pavilion or the fragrant snow and clouds, but walked to the deepest part of summer, where the lotus wind surrounded the pavilion, couplets holding pillars, lotus flowers on four walls, willows on three sides, half a pool of autumn water and one room of mountain, which was brought elsewhere as described by previous tourists. In fact, this is not uncommon in the Humble Administrator's Garden. You can borrow the North Temple Pagoda to borrow the scenery, and borrowing couplets from other people is also okay. As long as the intention is lofty and sufficient to adapt to the situation, it is enough. The couplets in front of the pavilion, which have unique caves, call me to open the door to welcome the dawn and moon, and where to bid farewell to the howling autumn wind, are also inscriptions by celebrities and not original.



Across from the pond is our parallel universe, where our horizons jump out of Xiuqi Pavilion, Yuanxiang Hall, Yiyu Pavilion, as well as Xiaofeihong, Dezhen Pavilion, Yulan Hall, and Xiangzhou. Finally, they blend and intersect at a different cave, and at this point, the Zhongyuan observation stops!



We entered the West Garden from a different cave and looked up. In front of us, there was a clear and clear fan pavilion on the water bank and sand dunes. Who were we sitting with? We see that there are people sitting together, holding hands with their children, growing old together with them, a fleeting fate, and back-to-back support. May you all respect each other like guests and share hardships together!



The corridor connects the Thirty Six Mandarin Duck Pavilion/Eighteen Mandala Flower Pavilion, which is an extremely exquisite and ceremonial building. It is renowned for its extravagance, with one north and one south, and the names must be different. The Thirty Six Mandarin Duck Pavilion, the Eighteen Mandala Flower Pavilion, and the Thirty Six Mandarin Ducks are all part of the Mandarin Duck Tower; Eighteen mandalas, truly idle yet easy to discuss, lonely and secluded valley, top-notch eighteen scholars, listening to the Sanskrit sound of the evening drum and morning bell.



Ting is inspired by the Western style colored window glass and hollow design, which inadvertently brings in the lush green of the Floating Green Pavilion.


After leaving the flower garden, the corridor continues, and the tower and shadow tower are under maintenance. Walk a small and a half circle, and the Liuting Pavilion is open, allowing you to reserve a seat. This is already the westernmost part of the Western Garden. Up the slope was the Floating Cui Pavilion and the Bamboo Pavilion. We estimated our strength, abandoned the ups and downs of the slope, walked slowly straight, and once again saw the Central Garden, leaving a photo of the mountain tower.



And the Reflection Pavilion:



There is also the Lotus Wind Pavilion on all sides:



In the future, it will be Dongyuan. Ting and Zhang studied the history of Humble Administrator's Garden and various aspects of related figures at the Shuxiang Pavilion, while Ping and I were at Tianquan Pavilion. At first, I didn't know my name, so Ping wandered around and used some force to find the word Tianquan.


9: 10. We left the Humble Administrator's Garden with a full harvest, and at this moment, there were noticeably more tourists on the street.


Our next destination is Suzhou Museum. Admission tickets have already been reserved on the official website. We are very punctual from 9:00 to 10:00. Su Bo enters the museum with a zigzag design, which is very crowded. Maybe we have eaten too much of Suzhou style Noodles in soup these days. We casually said, "Cross the bridge, and the staff on one side didn't hang their faces, cut!"! Cutting is too harsh. Let's discuss it and let's cut it. Cutting is the only way to be happy!


Su Bo includes two parts: the new museum designed by I.M. Pei and the ancient building of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's Loyalty Palace (old museum). The first thing we enter is the new museum. The so-called internet celebrity Su Bo actually only points to the new museum, because I.M. Pei's design, the new museum gives great treatment to Beilao, special exhibitions, multimedia, and multi perspective detailed introductions of the old gentleman's deep participation in everything.



We watched a documentary short film titled "I.M. Pei and the New Suzhou Museum" in the film and television hall as the beginning of our visit.



Continuing the process, on the first floor of Su Bo, there are three series of displays, namely Wu Pagoda National Treasure, Wu Di Yi Zhen, and Wu Zhong Feng Ya. The first ones we visited were Wu Pagoda National Treasure, including Pagoda Fang Ruiguang and Treasure Tiger Hill. The unearthed relics, such as the relics pagoda, relics, and Yue kiln secret colored porcelain lotus bowls, were photographed by me.



Image above: Shariko; Below: Yue Kiln Secret Color Porcelain Lotus Bowl.



Following the legacy of the Wu region, there are numerous exhibition halls under its name, including the Dawn and Light Exhibition Hall, showcasing cultural relics unearthed from Suzhou during the Neolithic period, such as the new stone tools, pottery, and jade artifacts of the Majiabang culture, Songze culture, and Liangzhu culture; The Zhanbo Spring and Autumn Exhibition Hall mainly displays bronze artifacts from the Spring and Autumn period, the Warring States period, and the Wu Yue period's struggle for hegemony; In the Splendid Jiangnan Exhibition Hall, we witnessed Ding Jun, one of the five major official kilns of the Song Dynasty, known as the Ding Kiln White Porcelain Six Output Bowl; The Metropolitan Flowing Charm Exhibition Hall is decorated with Ming style furniture, gold and silver artifacts, and other physical components.



The last hall on the first floor was elegant and elegant in Wuzhong. The four of us had already dispersed, and I was alone. So I chatted hastily, walked through the scenes, studied and played with items from the Ming and Qing dynasties. I reminded myself to read Wen Zhenheng's "Records of Long Objects" painted by Liu Yu once; The treasure of cultivation, porcelain from the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, I still have to go back to the Shanghai Museum to catch up on a lesson; The clever strategy of attacking jade refers to jade artifacts, and introspection cannot be considered one's own preference; The exquisite craftsmanship of carving and the exquisite skills of bamboo and wood corner tools are very pleasing, just take a look; Elegant things in the study, brushstrokes, ink, paper, inkstones, literati fan paintings, elegant objects with sleeves, these are full of personalization, I like them; Occasionally sending out idle matters, losing interest in playing with things, left hand purple clay teapot, right hand golden sparrow cage, former dynasty elder, upright yellow banner person, unfortunately not in the root of the imperial city, don't let the price drop and become scum; The colorful floating embroidery at the end is quite eye-catching, with Su Xiu's golden arrow clothing, as seen in the picture, being the top four famous embroideries in Su, Xiang, Yue, and Shu!



Su Bo also set aside space to show the courtyard design, set up a stage for the ink opera grass hall, and give enough play to the the Taihu Lake Lake stones, pomegranate trees, bamboo forests, and rubble rockeries. After you sing, I will be on the stage, and the children will walk around in turn.



In the central hall, the four of us reunited. At this moment, groups of visiting primary and secondary school students used Su Bo as a course material for extracurricular learning, wandering between various exhibition halls, conducting social surveys, and conducting various projects. We made way and went up to the second floor, where Wu Men calligraphy and painting. We didn't see the literati paintings of the four masters of Wu Men, but what we saw were He Xiangning from the Lingnan School of Painting, as well as Liu Yazi and other members of the Southern Society.



Finally stepping out of the exhibition room, under the clear sky, there is a pool of water. The exhibition hall on the left bank and the relief stone on the right bank are eagerly sought after by people. Su Bo provides unlimited free WiFi, welcome to browse the internet, and really keep the internet celebrities going!




Compared to the internet celebrities in the new building, the old Zhongwang Mansion appears a bit desolate. Perhaps the inherent peasant movement in people's minds has become a phenomenon, and the Zhongwang Mansion has always been located in a marginalized corner. A library with many introductions from ancient collectors, among which only three I know are Lu Guimeng, He Zhu, and Ye Mengde.



We walked through the inner garden, ancient stage, and crouching hall in sequence. A Gui shaped stone tablet stood next to the ancient wisteria garden, with the eight big characters of Mr. Wen Hengshan's hand planted wisteria written on it. It turned out that this was the wisteria planted by Wen Zhengming, with the inscription written by Jiangsu Governor Duan Fang.



The last thing we walked through was the meeting hall of the Prince of Loyalty's Mansion, in front of which a half body statue of the Prince of Loyalty was cast, which should be the most impressive image of the Prince of Loyalty. With his majestic appearance and his feather fans and silk scarf, while chatting and laughing, the strong prisoners were defeated by smoke and smoke, the Jiangbei and Jiangnan camps were completely annihilated, and the foreign spear team was the victorious army, completely crushed. In my memory, Li Xiucheng, the loyal king, and Chen Yucheng, the English king, were both top-level leaders in the late Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. The English king was defeated and killed by Miao Peilin. He was the loyal king who supported the crisis with his own strength until the Tianjing city was destroyed, and he fell into the hands of the Zeng kingdom to save the young king. However, a dying self narrative, whether true or false, has been criticized by later generations for his disloyalty!


Feeling a bit tired, Ping and I rested on the stone railing in the courtyard of the inner hall, while Ting and Zhang were still making progress. They entered the front conference hall, where there was an introduction to Li Xiucheng's life and a stone shattering thousand pound cannon.



11: 10. We walked out of the Loyal Prince's Mansion. On a scorching hot day, a young lady in Hanfu hid under the shade of a tree and busy her phone.



Our next attraction is the Beisi Pagoda. When we go there, we hike and pass by the Delicious Studio on Northwest Street. This is a noodle shop recommended by a taxi driver early in the morning. It looks average and very old. At 11:30, Zhang approached the North Temple Pagoda to inquire, while Ping, Ting, and I only took a photo across the street.


Ping's foot hurts, some complaints, a burst of extravagance, just for a North Temple Pagoda? Yes, there's an old saying that when it's hot, people get bored. Zhang handed over the ice cream. It's hot, cool down a bit, let's lower the heat.



The next road is still Pingjiang Road. This time, we will take a complete walk from north to south. Renting from the North Temple Pagoda on Northwest Street to Pingjiang Road on White Pagoda East Road, not far away, only takes a few minutes. At 11:40, the scenic spot arrived.


This should be the northernmost point of Pingjiang Road, standing on the Baojili Bridge across the Pingjiang River. The first thing that catches your eye is the Pingjiang Road Tourist Center and the Cruise Terminal. At this point, there are not many tourists and even fewer people running to the terminal.



As the cruise ship enters the harbor, we enter the alleys. At this time and here, we encounter numerous small shops, such as the Zhuohua Drunken Small Tavern, Jiangnan Three Weaving, Flower Perfect, Writing Desk. Each shop is a cultural and creative creation. In the ancient and elegant style of Pingjiang Road, a branch of blooming flowers is planted, a pot of sake is placed, the flag robe is worn, and we are invited to sit down. The lighting is either dim or dazzling, while the soft language of Wu Yin is heard on one side, and the youthful youth and time transition, time travel, a bit dizzy and intoxicated. Finally, the left and right sides are obliquely transformed. The appearance of flowers is not a misty or foggy aesthetic.


It's a pity that Suzhou is just a private city and has never been an imperial city. Without the restrictions of the system, we have such spiritual wealth. We fell in love with Suzhou and relied on it!



We encountered Pingjiang Road, we were enamored with Su Fan Cultural and Creative Store, near Dingxiang Lane. We passed by another Maokong, which looked taller and more upscale than last night. We apologize for not entering. At this moment, our stomachs are empty, and our minds can only give way to our desires. Finding a restaurant is the most important thing.


Coincidentally, there is a Tuzao restaurant with fish, rice, and rice. It's not far ahead. At 12:00, hurry up a few steps and enter the door. The door is not on the street, so you need to detour through a side alley.


The location by the window facing the street is already occupied, so we have to settle for second place. There is no menu, and we need to go to the real scene self-service. We look at the dishes, there are familiar and unfamiliar ones, and flipping over here is equivalent to ordering. We mix meat and vegetables, with four dishes and one soup: Bird's Nest Crispy Fang, Iron Plate Roasted Shrimp, Home Braised Cucumber Flower, Lotus Pond Stir Fried, pickled and fresh.


The Bird's Nest crispy side, the traditional Braised pork belly, is actually the way of cooking the oily meat. The meat quality is partial to firewood, and the taste is not deep. It's too new. Lettuce is threatening the meat, which is very Korean. We have a lot of leftover food.


Grilled shrimp on an iron plate, served crunchily and immediately filled the table with a delicious aroma. The meat was tender and plump, and the shrimp shells were soft and tender. We ate the shrimp in large bites, just being careful not to scald it. It's quite a large one, and in the end it's almost a CD.


Pickled and fresh, salted meat+bamboo shoots+braised pork leaves+lettuce. Lettuce is a unique flavor that not only adds fragrance, but also adds color. When paired with rice, don't miss out on delicious food. Even if there is leftover, there must be not much left. We have done our best.



Check out after dinner, it's not expensive. We left the restaurant at 13:00.


Continuing south, it should be our revisit after a day. During the day, we didn't know the darkness of last night. The heart that used to stay up late, the Han'er Hotel, and the Lingyun Society are still there. However, on the opposite wall, flowers bloom on the roadside, and the fragrance of the night comes. Spring returns unharmed, busy with flowers, but nowhere to be seen.



Along the river, amidst the sound of small boats, clear waves were drawn.



We are about to bid farewell to Pingjiang Road, with a stele pavilion engraved with the history of Pingjiang Road.



Let's rent out at 13:20 and check out from now on. There used to be a scenic spot called Canglang Pavilion, but we were in a hurry to return to Shanghai before the rush hour. Goodbye, Suzhou, Canglang Pavilion. We will meet again in the future.
