Self-Jiangnan Tour --- Day One: Tongli, Suzhou
When I opened my eyes from a hundred years old bed, it is already fast 9:00, and blue flowers curtains blocking the sun, a quiet little courtyard there is no sound, as if time stopped here to like, no hurry and bustle are incompatible with the quiet.
Washed finished downstairs and saw the hostess carefully prepared breakfast, simple but so memorable, white rice porridge, a few sample dishes, and our favorite soles crisp. I actually ate three bowls of breath, as if the morning has been a long time did not eat white porridge, and at home are the milk bread, a long absence, the feeling. LG told me that he ate three bowls, we have grown doubled in others they do finish all the whole pot gruel.
Eaten with rice, followed by Wu Jie inquire about a moment how a specific car, and called Ctrip to have set a good hotel in Hangzhou to the delayed one day (where you can play with the free calls to 800 in Shanghai), we set out for in Suzhou, and this trip we have no choice but to live in Suzhou, Suzhou, expensive and because they have heard nothing to interesting places, so out the door more often to understand the recommendation of several blogs really benefited from ah.
I have sent to the town of Suzhou car, half-hour trip, 6 yuan / person, on the bus we started to sleep, woke up just in time too that the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal bridge, pretty, almost less than an hour bar, car to Suzhou Guanqian Street, originally our intention to go directly to the railway station, the side away from the Tiger Hill close, but a view of Front Street looking quite lively, just some people get off here, so we also follow this way. Guanqian Street, I feel quite good, I feel more than the palace Chin-chiang, fun, and have read, and there are so many shops, but the main thing is that many are cheap and tasty snacks. We ate all the way from east to west in the past, but also be resolved in advance of the lunch. To the West Side, there happen to have a bus station, a car to see if an 8-way just to Tiger Hill, so we climbed up, and that is what I would like to recommend this route. General People always go from the Tiger Hill in the south gate, but the 8-way car would go to Tiger Hill, North Gate, on the road there is a feeling quite biased, and would have regrets take the wrong car, but on the original This is the best arrangement.
Vehicles to Tiger Hill, got off exactly Huqiu North gate, door, the heavy upon layer of green greet the eyes of a clear bottoming out of the river and the Rao Shan Guo, clearly visible peak of the tower, there is a mountain quiet bamboo grove, most notably the north fewer tourists, no one to spoil this great scenery, and no one with you steal the scene. We are traveling light, in addition to maps and money, so nothing out with them, walk stroll really feel fantastic. Shun stone steps up to the Tiger Hill and the Leaning Tower of Pisa, by the end of August the sun is still very strong, sitting before the stone tower ball to rest, LG side with my contention Shiseido's oil-absorbing paper, while I sigh fully equipped.
Tiger Hill is beautiful, and although beautiful than the Humble Administrator's different, but I prefer the Tiger Hill, no wonder the ancient literati have left instructions to similar praise and more "real Tiger Hill, false Jianchi" in circulation.
We are from the north to the mountains, to the south mountain, had wanted to ride a carriage, but half a lap to sit and let others give up the idea. From the south gate out, and then walk to the station until about 10 minutes, compared to the North Gate to be too inconvenient, no way, Who prosperous south gate, the gate are the stores?
We also ride back to view Front Street, simply because at noon had not experienced enough food, then intention to simply ate dinner in Suzhou, and only returned to the same inside. So we first eat a bowl of wonton Luk Yeung Sun Chuen, nice ah, two pieces of money to a bowl, seasoning sauce wonton is called the one-xiang! And then went to the opposite side of Sichuan good, just sat down shortly after a sudden it began to rain, so specialized exchange for a table by the window, watching outside the parent's house, and run the people, and my heart oh never mind that the United States, but had intended to eat again for a bit because it rains here, until it becomes full. Jiangnan's restaurants, I found a particularly large number but good drink or a dessert, so in my point, when the third dessert, LG anxious, saying the same where it is also coachman back, stay a while and no tickets. I side poised to eating, she told him do not worry, I know that the new travel site.
Under the long rain did not stopped, and this is the south of the rain bar, come and go. That after dinner we were a bus station by car to the bus station in Suzhou Wuxian south, there are a lot of cars sent to the towns. We are booking the Office intends to buy a ticket, there is a woman approached their car back to the same years, so we sat up the. They are just running a trip to Tongli to Suzhou by car, saying that to go back anyway never made it onto the last train, and do not row, and pull a few people get a few. It was hailed in the old results along the way, do not go far their car was fully occupied, and this business was very good, but also unnecessary for them to be honest in the bus queue up. Can be seen with the Village itself is a bustling town, not like Zhouzhuang can only rely on tourism, there is no pillar industries.
Return to positive Fu Thatched Cottage had been almost 7:00, and far to see thatched cottage of red lanterns and feel happy to know another good night ahead of us. Indeed the case, one into the inn, over and over again, kept trained long period of Suzhou Pingtan ... ...
