Suzhou Xishan, a treasure land hidden in Taihu Lake

🌈I have been to Suzhou for so many times, but this is my first time to visit the West Mountain Scenic Area✨ Suzhou West Mountain, the pearl in Taihu Lake, has beautiful lakes and mountains and a profound cultural heritage. Come here and enjoy a leisurely time. Please check the following guide! • Transportation: Self-drive is recommended, navigation is direct, the scenery of the Tahoe Bridge is not to be missed. If you don't want to drive, you can take the subway and change to the bus at Suzhou Station. • Attractions: ◦ Forest House Cave: Known as "the ninth cave sky in the world", the cave is warm in winter and cool in summer, and the stone scenery is peculiar. When the plum blossoms are in full bloom in February - March, the plum blossoms all over the mountains and plains are super beautiful. ◦ Mingyue Bay Ancient Village: According to legend, it is the place where Fucha and Xishi enjoy the moon. The ancient village stone street, ancient camphor trees and ancient wharf are full of historical rhyme. ◦ Jingfeng Peak: The first peak of Taihu Lake, climbing to the top can overlook the magnificent view of Taihu Lake, with undulating mountains and the same color of water and sky. • Cafes: ◦ Lake and Cafe: 270-degree views, super beautiful at sunset, suitable for photography, and free parking, drinks are priced at $45. ◦ LIM CAFE: American castle style design, surrounded by water on three sides, photo spots everywhere, signature coffee taste mellow, opening hours 10:00 - 20:00. • Bookstore: Twilight Engraving Bookstore, hidden in the Taihu fishing port sketching base. A whole wall of books, rich in books. Order a cup of coffee and read a book by the window, it's full of pleasure. The small wooden bridge by the lake is an excellent spot to watch the sunset, and the video production rate is super high. • Accommodation: Recommended B&B on Yokoyama Island, newly opened, rooms with first-line lake views, you can get up early to watch the sunrise, evening to watch the sunset, some rooms also have private hot spring pools. ❤️Come to Suzhou West Mountain, slow down and feel this tranquility and beauty.
