The changes in life caused by the epidemic can be said to be earth-shaking. Take tourism as an example. In recent years, tourism in surrounding areas has emerged, and short-distance weekend tours have been favored by many families. Wujiang, Suzhou is an excellent destination for Shanghainese. It is bordered by Taihu Lake in the west and Suzhou's Main City in the north. It has a developed river and lake water system and is known as the "Land of Fish and Rice." It takes about 2 hours to reach it from downtown Shanghai. There are many ancient towns in water towns, and now the concept of Wujiang's all-region tourism has been created. Not only are the hotels and B & B operations very mature, but the fun and delicious food are also very attractive.

The concept of twelve hours has been often mentioned in many ancient works in recent years. In fact, it is what we modern people call 24 hours. How rich can a day's micro-travel in Wujiang be?

Tongli Ancient Town in the morning

Among the several ancient towns in Wujiang, Tongli Ancient Town can be said to be the most mature one in operation. Yiyuan (Tuisi Garden), Ertang (Jiayintang, Chongbentang) and the third bridges (Taiping Bridge, Jili Bridge, Changqing Bridge) are the most famous landmarks in Tongli Ancient Town.

I came here myself before, but this time I invited a tour guide from the park to explain. I really had a deeper understanding of the local folk customs.

Environment: The weather was average last time I came here. This time, Tongli Ancient Town is particularly charming with clear skies and blue skies and white clouds. The shadows of the trees are mottled, and even the reflections in the water become very clear. It feels very good to stroll slowly.

Recommendations: Tuisi Garden, Liz Nvxue, Wenchuang Ice Cream

Tuisi Garden is a typical Jiangnan garden style. In ancient times, it was a house of a large family, so the layout is particularly good and progressive.

The reception room where the owner meets guests, the attic for enjoying the scenery, and the thick stone door used to prevent fire are all well preserved.

Girls who like to take photos can wear cheongsam or something. It will look great with accessories such as a fan or paper umbrella.

Li Ze Nvxue is a place where ancient ladies and ladies studied. Now it has been transformed into a special hotel, but the external environment can still be visited. There are many pairs of butterflies dancing in the flowers inside. If you have the opportunity, you will come and stay.

Nowadays, Internet celebrity cultural and creative ice cream is particularly popular. Sure enough, there are also them here. The pattern is Tuisi Garden! There are two flavors: rose and melon.

Lunch Nanyuan Tea House

Nanyuan Tea House has a history of 100 years and is one of the few old-fashioned tea houses in the country. When you are tired of visiting Tongli Ancient Town, you can come here to drink tea and listen to Pingtan. In the past, we only provided breakfast snacks and the like, but now we also cook dinner. It's very delicious!

Environment: It has two floors. The first floor is a tea place. It is decorated very nostalgic and darker. There is an outdoor place that is very comfortable. The light on the second floor is good, and Pingtan also performs here. The view by the window for drinking tea is good.

Recommendations: tea drinking, pingtan performance, dinner

Afternoon Zhenze Ancient Town

Taihu Lake was called Zhenze in ancient times, and it is the only ancient town with the same name as Taihu Lake among the ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River. As the hometown of silk, this is the birthplace of silk culture. The silk industry has a long history. A piece of silk connects the three industries of commerce, tourism and culture. The silk town has endless charm.

Walking on Baota Street in Zhenze Town, you can see Ciyun Temple in the distance. As a famous temple in the south of the Yangtze River, it was built during the Chiwu Period of the Three Kingdoms. The exterior of the tower has six sides and five floors. It is composed of corridors, tower walls and tower heart. It is said that during the Three Kingdoms period, a strange woman and her husband were forced to separate. She built this tower missing her husband in the distance. Do you know who she was?

Classic tourist attractions in the ancient town include Shijian Hall, Wenchang Pavilion, and Wang Xichan Memorial Hall, all of which are houses with very historical heritage.

Taihu Snow Cansang Cultural Park

Zhenze is most famous for its sericulture industry. Taihu Snow Sericulture Cultural Park is China's first characteristic industrial park with sericulture as its theme and integrating agricultural demonstration, sericulture scientific research, cultural leisure, science popularization display, and eco-tourism.

Environment: This is the Silk House in the Taihu Lake Basin. In fact, Silkworm Baby has very high requirements for the environment. Therefore, the clear water and blue skies here, and the air is particularly fresh. The natural oxygen bar in thousands of acres of mulberry gardens can feel the tranquility of the years.

Recommendation: Cultural exhibition hall, handicraft workshop, silk products

First of all, I visited the Cultural Exhibition Hall to learn about the cultural history of sericulture. The good thing about it is that silkworm babies are actually raised here, and it is especially good to bring children here. Silkworm babies are white and fat and very cute. They work very hard to eat mulberry leaves and have dedicated their short life to mankind. The silk spat out is very tough. Nowadays, advanced technology can cultivate some silkworm baby breeds that spit out bright yellow silk in addition to white color.

There are many projects to experience in the manual workshop. We learned to make flowers from silkworm cocoons, and then we can also match them with natural essential oils and spreading sticks. It looks good at home and I like it very much ~

Finally, of course, silk products are also sold. It is said that the country requires 50% silk content in silkworm quilts, but Zhenze is the hometown of sericulture, the content here is 100%, and the quality is very good.

Leisure time in the afternoon at Siwan Tea House

Siwan Tea House is the most popular tea house in Zhenze Ancient Town. First-time visitors can order a set of four treasure teas: Shuipu Egg, Taidi Tea, Smoked Bean Tea, and Green Tea. Each set will be sweet and salty after drinking. Shuipu eggs and green tea are definitely familiar to everyone. Taidi tea is rice paste added with soft sugar and then brewed with boiling water. It will naturally be sweet when drinking. Smoked bean tea was drunk in Qidu before. It is brewed with smoked green beans and sesame seeds, dried carrots and other ingredients, plus green tea. Because smoked green beans are actually salty, this tea tastes very delicious and is also very suitable for pairing with some snacks.

Four bowls of tea houses drink along, blow the wind to see the scenery, and sip melon seeds and drink tea. It is very leisurely ~

Su Xiaohua cafe

In addition to going to the Chinese teahouse to drink Sibao tea, Zhenze also has a local Internet celebrity coffee shop!

Su Xiaohua is deeply loved by locals and tourists because of the particularly beautiful scenery around her. The colorful car takes pictures and there are many varieties of coffee to choose from. In the afternoon, there are also simple meals.

Dinner Jiangcun Hotel

Jiangcun Hotel is an authentic farmhouse dish here in Zhenze. A friend introduced us to bring us here to eat. It tastes very good! I have a surprise ~ All the friends who recommend coming to Zhenze can have dinner here.

Environment: Private rooms on the first floor and the second floor for individual guests. The environment is very clean and the waiters are very enthusiastic. The location is near the sericulture garden, so it is also convenient to have a meal if you come over to play.

Recommendation: raw fried mulberry chicken, fried shrimp

Basically, every dish is delicious, mainly because the ingredients are of good quality. For example, this raw and fried Sangyuan chicken uses locally raised chickens here in Zhenze, which is very fresh!

The fried shrimp is also delicious, with a little soy sauce added, which is my favorite recipe.

Dishes such as fresh river eggs are very good, and there are also crabs in the season, each of which is very strong. The taste of the dishes can be eaten by adults and children, so you can try local specialties when you come to travel.

Wujiang Nightlife Retreat and Invite the Moon/Cheongsam Town Jade Space

Nowadays, night economy is being pursued everywhere, and Wujiang is no exception. For example, Tuisi Garden in Tongli Ancient Town has added night performances, with performances of Tuisi and Inviting the Moon. The immersive style is very beautiful and very popular as soon as it is launched.

The Qipao Town in the central area of Wujiang now has a night market from time to time, where you can taste the specialty delicacies of several famous ancient towns in Wujiang.

You can also go to the Jade Space to make an appointment to watch performances. It is very exquisite and has integrated dining and accommodation.

Stay at Zhenze Sixiangjia B & B

If you have fun well, you must naturally live well.

Zhenze Sixiangjia B & B is newly opened this year. It all adopts green prefabricated buildings and has 24 creative B & B units. It has silk themed rooms, constellation themed courtyards and other units. It is equipped with a reception center, restaurant, central swimming pool, parking lot, etc., to create an original ecological rural pastoral life scene full of interest.

The room layout is reasonable, the outdoor pool tent is also very touching, and the price is also very good. Compared with traditional hotels, this place will definitely become a place for Internet celebrities to check in the future.

Shangsai Sailing Club

I have a destiny with sailing this year. I played at Dishui Lake in Shanghai last time. This time, I came to the East Taihu Tourist Resort. I didn't expect that there would be a sailing club here. The weather is so good that it is the best place to set sail!

Environment: East Taihu Lake Suzhou Bay has a beautiful environment and high-quality water resources. It can accommodate up to 200 people to carry out water projects at the same time. The club carries out water tourism projects mainly composed of sailboats all year round, including sailing tours in Suzhou Bay, parent-child water event experiences (sailing, paddle boards, kayaking, rubber boats, catamaran yachts, etc.), corporate water expansion activities, youth sailing training camps, etc.

Recommendation: Sailing on the water experience

Shangsai Club, as one of the first batch of senior coach clubs in the country, starts from the club, relies on the high-quality water conditions of Suzhou Bay, takes tourism as the norm, events as the point of reference, and training as the consolidation, and gradually builds a waterfront sports life tourism circle with Suzhou culture IP characteristics.

The sailing experience on the water is very suitable for families or company groups to build and play. You don't need to operate yourself during the whole process. The coach will operate the sailboat according to the weather conditions, so that the boat's speed will increase to a certain tilt. It is very exciting ~ Of course, the prerequisite is to wear a life jacket throughout the process!

Wangongdi

After sailing, we visited the nearby Wangong Causeway. The scenery here is pleasant and a leisurely stroll is very good. The small river trail is also a photo spot for Internet celebrities. Now it is difficult to find such a natural oxygen bar in the city.

Come over for a picnic when the weather is good and live a slow life on weekends.

Suzhou Bay Cultural Center

The Suzhou Bay Cultural Center was designed by Christian de Bauzanbach, internationally renowned architect and urban planner and Pritzker Prize winner. It will be a new comprehensive literary and artistic landmark in the Yangtze River Delta. Not only is the shape of the building cool, but the spatial structure inside is also very architectural aesthetic, and the scattered light and shadow are very beautiful.

The main building is divided into north and south districts along the city axis. The north district is dominated by Suzhou Bay Grand Theater, and there is also Suzhou Bay Cinema and commercial space with 1 IMAX cinema and 6 projection halls; the south district is Wujiang Expo Center, which is supported by museums, urban planning halls, exhibition centers, digital art galleries and commercial spaces.

We visited the opera hall, drama hall and rehearsal hall of Suzhou Bay Grand Theater. The opera hall has a total of 1600 seats and the drama hall can accommodate 600 people.

It is very shocking. It has the largest indoor moving ceiling in the country-a "green leaf"-shaped acoustic design "anti-acoustic cover". It is designed by the famous acoustics master Xu Yaying. Teacher Xu has served as the Louvre in Paris, the Music City in Paris, the Luxembourg Philharmonic Hall, and the Suzhou Museum. Acoustic design of famous venues such as the Museum.

Suzhou Bay Huayi Hot Spring Hotel

Huayi is also available in Shanghai, so I know it is owned by Intercontinental. Wujiang is a great place. It is really suitable to build a resort hotel here. The large outdoor landscape is beautiful along the East Taihu Lake.

Ordinary rooms are very large, with a terrace and a bath. The parent-child rooms are super cute. They are said to be very popular during the National Day and are in short supply.

Caifeng Lou, a Chinese restaurant on Intercontinental, has always been famous, so I had lunch here before the end of my trip.

I have to praise it. It is not only delicious, but also very Suzhou characteristics. The beef rib meat has been eaten in many restaurants outside. Only the dish here is soft and delicious, but not too strong, which vividly reflects the aroma of the beef itself.

The last Su-style fresh meat mooncakes are so delicious!
