Guide to a leisurely one-day trip to Zhouzhuang Ancient Town in Suzhou
Without further ado, here is the itinerary
Workers set off after get off work on Friday. In order to save time for daytime sightseeing, they chose a sleeper berth for the night~
Unexpectedly, [Beijing South Railway Station ~ Suzhou Railway Station] was sold out in seconds, so we chose [Beijing South Railway Station ~ Shanghai Railway Station] and got off one stop earlier~
19:36-06:55 the next day
[Beijing South Railway Station-Suzhou Railway Station]
Take a taxi from Suzhou Station to Zhouzhuang Ancient Town
·
Tickets to the ancient town are 100, book 88 in advance
Tickets for theme live performances are 150
The combined ticket [ticket + performance] we bought is 190
You need to go to the window to pick up the performance ticket, and then take photos at the entrance of the scenic area. I don’t want to look directly at the photos, hahaha. Pin your tickets together so you can enter and exit the scenic area multiple times within three days. We lived near the North Gate, so we entered from the North Gate, near Shen Wansan's former residence, and next to our target restaurant [Yanyu Renjia].

[Lunch]: Yanyu Renjia
The service is simply great!
Wansan pig's trotters + Wansan bean curd sheets + cold bamboo shoots
So delicious! How can you not eat Wansan pig's trotters when you come to Zhouzhuang! It would be even more delicious with rice, but unfortunately I can’t eat it. With the coupon, the average cost per person is 70 yuan, and the rest can be packed away and eaten again! Very cost-effective!
The environment is also very beautiful, and there are large private rooms upstairs! Take all kinds of beautiful photos! I really love this place!

[Accommodation]
Xujia Inn B&B
The hotel staff were so nice. They drove a tricycle to pick us up at the Fuguiyuan parking lot. We didn’t have to drag our luggage inside. We could put the packed food in the refrigerator to keep it fresh.
The next day we got up early and set off. They also sent us out of the scenic spot according to our schedule. It was really considerate!

[Play]
Start a day of running mode. Although it is leisurely, it is not idle.
·
Attractions such as Shuangqiao, Zhangting, and Chenting, walk along the path and go in for a walk when you pass by.
At around 5 pm, I took a rowing boat, 220 per boat, 6 people can join, 20-25 minutes, 30 singing songs ~ it was so interesting!
·
I went to see the Four Seasons Zhouzhuang performance at 6:30 pm. The interaction was so interesting. Not only did it show the customs and people of Zhouzhuang, but it also invited the audience to get married on the spot. It was such a surprise and joy!

After watching the show, I strolled to [Nanhu Qiuyue] to see the night view of the ancient town. It was so satisfying! #Ancient towns and villages worth visiting #Remembering the ancient towns around Jiangnan #Summer is all about playing in the water
