Walking route: Picking loquat in Xishan-Suzhou Garden Museum

Staying in Suzhou for one night, the whole trip was leisurely. Wake up naturally in the morning, stroll around the hotel's own garden, and then walk through the scenic promenade to the hotel for breakfast.

Suzhou is a city of gardens, with garden scenery everywhere. One hotel has its own landscape garden.

There is a fruitful loquat tree here

The red koi in the pool are jubilant

The cobblestones create artistic paths through the garden.

Small flowers gather into big hydrangea flowers, and the blue-purple color is so noble and elegant in a green.

Last night's rain moistened the flowers and plants, with water droplets between the petals and rolling on the leaves, crystal clear and moist.

The bus leaves from the hotel to Xishan Island in Taihu Lake.

Walking around the north side of Taihu Lake, Taihu Lake has beautiful scenery all the way.

The color of the sky, the color of the lakes and mountains, and the flowers and plants on the shore are rich and pure, just like oil paintings.

Take the Taihu Bridge from Yuyang Mountain in Xumen. Taihu Bridge consists of No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 bridges. The section we are walking on now is Bridge No. 1, which is the longest section, connecting Yuyang Mountain to Changsha Island.

The car is driving on the Taihu Bridge, which is like a white dragon or a chain of small islands. What is presented in front of you is the endless Taihu Lake. The sparkling lake is dotted with white sails, and the blue sky changes the shape of white clouds. In the distance, the water and the sky are in the same color, and they are relaxed and happy.

Huguang Mountains, vast Taihu Lake, the lake water glows with a leaping silver light in the sun.

At the entrance of the bridge, there is a Qiaotou Park near mountains and rivers

Far mountains, near water, long bridges, star islands, pavilions and pavilions are integrated into one.

The No. 1 Bridge is the longest, 1768 meters. It spans Yuyang Mountain and Changsha Island like a long rainbow lying wave.

Looking at the vast Taihu Lake from the bridge, the clear water is vast and the peaks are hidden. The elegant and beautiful islands in the lake are integrated with the grandeur of Taihu Lake.

There was no traffic jam, and the bus passed smoothly across bridges 1, 2 and 3. The speed is fast, and people can only see the beautiful scenery of Taihu Lake in the car. The three-section bridges have different styles, shapes, radians, and shapes each with its own beauty. Three bridges and three islands stretch for more than ten miles, reaching the heart of Taihu Lake. The bridge looks like a jade belt connected with green trees, with long dragons lying on the waves. It is also like a flying silver chain winding down among the archipelago.

The bridge connects the island, and the island connects the bridge. There is a bridge because of the water, and the scenery is created because of the bridge. The bridge is integrated with the scenery of Taihu Lake and is magnificent.

On the prosperous Xishan Island, there are various fruits planted and large areas of rice planted. Today's Taihu Lake is a paradise on earth with vast expanse of blue waves and a granary in the world where rice flows from fat. At this time, the rice had turned yellow, and large pieces of color were smeared on the green earth.

By the watery lakeside, black houses with herringbone roofs give sensory tranquility and comfort.

The green mountains and clear waters of Taihu Lake have the laziness and tranquility of a paradise.

Beautiful roads on Xishan Island. The view is wide and the scenery is elegant.

Come to the agricultural park where we pick loquats today.

The agricultural park is very large in scale, with characteristic aquaculture areas and fruit planting areas.

The waterways in the agricultural park are crisscross and crisscross, and the rivers are like veins with faint flows. The aquatic products here must be rich, right?

There are also several starry tents on the green lawn

Large-scale loquat planting was carried out, and the loquat trees were fruitful at this time.

As soon as we entered the loquat garden, we started picking and started eating and eating, and we couldn't care about taking pictures. Eat your stomach first, see that it is almost time, pick some small baskets, fill them up and leave on the way back.

View the scenery on Xiegu Mountain Road from the Agricultural Park

Xiegushan Road in front of the agricultural park faces Taihu Lake.

The endless water of Taihu Lake is as bright as a mirror, and the blue lake surface ripples, and the picture is soft and beautiful.

With the vast lake, long green mountains, and faint villages, the West Mountain gives people a peaceful and distant tone.

The West Mountain is charming and colorful because of Taihu Lake, and Taihu Lake is colorful because of the West Mountain. The West Mountain, which integrates lakes and mountains, not only has beautiful scenery, but also has many tree species. Along the way, we saw many mountains full of various fruit trees. The rich variety allows you to harvest fruits all year round. After the Spring Festival, plum blossoms bloom all over the mountains and plains one after another; tea can be picked with local farmers around the Qingming Festival; then there is loquats in May; in another half a month, in June, the bayberry ripens... In addition to fruit trees, these rice fields have also come into our sight. The yellow rice ears are spread in large areas, and the rows of houses with white walls and black tiles in front of the mountain are well-layered and well-arranged houses set off each other.
It forms three-dimensional landscape paintings full of the fragrance of earth, and this is the prosperous Western Mountain. Thinking of what the taxi driver said yesterday, I understand why locals in Suzhou have a special liking for East Mountain and West Mountain.
