Pingjiang Road

My roommate's snoring makes it hard to fall asleep. Come up and check in.



Coming to Suzhou was not originally in my plan, but the popularity of "All Is Well" aroused my strong interest in Suzhou. It was indeed a pleasant surprise. Although Pingjiang Road has become too commercialized, each road has its own characteristics, which makes people want to turn back halfway through the visit.

Picture 1 is a particularly representative small shop (it seems to be an Internet celebrity shop). The sentimental words written outside the shop attract tourists to stop and take pictures. The shop sells all kinds of small accessories, and their original postcards are unique. It is a must-visit place for literary youths.

Picture 2 is just a casual shot of the beauty of Jiangnan water town

Picture 3 is the place I want to check in. It is the shop of Shi Tiandong in the TV series "All Is Well". I am a meat eater but it is already 22:30 and the place is still crowded. I have to hold up my phone high to avoid the crowd and take a picture as a souvenir!

Pingjiang Road is located in the south of Humble Administrator's Garden, and is no more than 2 kilometers long. Here and in the surrounding areas are typical Jiangnan scenery with small bridges and flowing water. Old houses and courtyards run parallel to the river, and there are many stone tables, stone bridges, and stone chairs. Many old houses have been rented out as shops, cafes, and homestays, which are quite petty bourgeoisie. There are many places to shop and eat around here, and it is also close to major gardens.

Pingjiang Road is an old historical street in Suzhou. It is a small road along the river, and the river is called Pingjiang River. Comparing with the "Pingjiang Map" of the Southern Song Dynasty and the "General Map of Waterways in Suzhou City" in the late Ming Dynasty, Pingjiang Road basically continues the city pattern since the Tang and Song Dynasties, and has remained vibrant to this day. Pingjiang Road starts from Ganjiang East Road in the south, crosses Baita East Road and connects with Northeast Street in the north. Its ancient name is "Shiquanli". The total length is 1,606 meters, which is three miles long. There are many cross streets and narrow alleys on both sides, such as Shizisi Alley, Chuanfang Alley, Donghuaqiao Alley, Caohuxu Alley, Daxinqiao Alley, Weidao Guanqian, Zhongzhangjia Alley, Daru Alley, Dingxiang Alley, Huxiangshi Alley, Xiaojia Alley, Niujia Alley, Xuanqiao Alley, etc.

It's rare to have half a day of leisure in my life. I walked around for a long time and finally lingered in a few alleys and gardens. I will continue tomorrow and upload the remaining photos at night...🐳🌈

When you come to Gusu, you will see that every household lives by the river.

There is little vacant land in the ancient palace, but many water ports and small bridges.

Water chestnuts and lotus roots are sold at the night market, and spring boats are loaded with silk and satin.

I know the moon is still awake, and my homesickness is in the fishermen’s songs.

Good wine, good tea, good friends and good dreams,

Idle clouds, idle things, idle people, idle feelings.

Lying on the stone and listening to the waves, my clothes are covered with pine trees.

I opened the door and heard the sound of rain.

The second time I came to Pingjiang Road, I came to the conclusion that this road is no different from the historical districts of other tourist cities across the country. It is not to say that the buildings on Pingjiang Road have no characteristics. Indeed, it is full of the temperament of the Jiangnan water town, with small bridges and flowing water.

But many of the shops along the street do not have Jiangnan characteristics. Only those silk shops and Suzhou cuisine restaurants tell you that this is Suzhou. Of course, Suzhou-style teahouses are also indispensable. In the origin of Biluochun, brewing a bowl of tea, sitting quietly by the river, and watching the small bridges and flowing water is also very pleasant.

I don't know when all the ancient streets have to take the route of small freshness, and Pingjiang Road seems to be no exception. The afternoon sun shines through the willow leaves, and with the old houses, compared with the clusters of shops on the other side of the river, this is the original appearance of the traditional water town.

Perhaps it is difficult for us to really find traces of history in the historical streets that have become tourist attractions. Two stars.

I like this kind of simple streets

It does not affect my photography along the way.

Tourists in twos and threes

Compared to the long vacation

Pingjiang Road has returned to the original flavor of old Jiangnan.

In Suzhou, the most Jiangnan water town atmosphere, besides Shantang Street, is Pingjiang Road. The mottled old street is another expression of time. The peeling of the white walls and gray tiles seems to be the wrinkles of time, and the older it is, the more flavorful it is.

Compared with the commercial streets lined with shops, the traces of time naturally revealed in the corners of the river bank are the real charm and soul of the old street. On the other side of the river, the old Suzhou still lives here, with a commercial atmosphere on one side and a breath of life on the other.

There are many youth hostels and literary B&Bs on Pingjiang Road. It is said that foreigners especially like to stay here. Compared with the commercial street of Shantang Street, I feel that the shops on Pingjiang Road seem to be more petty bourgeoisie and more refined. Walking on the bluestone road, looking at the small bridges, flowing water and people's houses, it is easy to have a feeling of shuttling between history and modernity.

Pingjiang Road is not long, but there are two branches in Maokong. The one next to "Walking" is the best for taking photos. The concept of Maokong Station is great, "1 cm away from the Cultural Center", "Walking, strolling on Pingjiang Road..." is exactly what I feel at this moment~

Most of the houses on both sides of the main street have been converted into shops and restaurants. Fortunately, there are not too many noisy or eye-catching shops. The original house style is still maintained, and only the interior has been renovated, so that the whole block retains the gray and white water village tone~

It is strongly recommended that you do not just walk on the main street. The alleys extending on both sides of Yanpingjiang Road are where the real aborigines live.

Tangled wires,

Vegetable foam planting boxes along the riverbank,

The quilts drying in the warm sun in front of the house,

The sound of several old men and women playing mahjong in the store, this is the true appearance of life~

Pingjiang Road is an old historical street in Suzhou. It is a small road along the river, and the river is called Pingjiang River. Pingjiang Road Historic District is the most well-preserved area in Suzhou Ancient City so far, and it can be called a miniature of the ancient city. Comparing with the "Pingjiang Map" of the Southern Song Dynasty and the "General Map of Waterways in Suzhou City" in the late Ming Dynasty, Pingjiang Road basically continues the city pattern since the Tang and Song Dynasties, and has remained vibrant to this day. Pingjiang Road is connected to the Humble Administrator's Garden in the north and overlooks the Twin Towers in the south. Its ancient name is "Shiquanli". It is 1,606 meters long and is a classic water lane with a long history in Suzhou. There are many cross streets and narrow lanes on both sides of it, such as Shizisi Lane, Chuanfang Lane, Donghuaqiao Lane, Caohuxu Lane, Daxinqiao Lane, Weidao Guanqian, Zhongzhangjia Lane, Daru Lane, Dingxiang Lane, Huxiangshi Lane, Xiaojia Lane, Niujia Lane, Xuanqiao Lane, etc.

For more than 800 years, not only has the river shape and street structure of Pingjiang Road remained basically the same as before, but it has also clearly preserved the water town pattern of "waterways running parallel, rivers and streets adjacent to each other". Pingjiang Road is the best-preserved ancient street in Suzhou. It is separated from Guanqian Street by an alley, but its quiet and simple life atmosphere is completely different from the hustle and bustle just a few steps away.

It is worth a visit. There are all kinds of small craft shops and snack shops along the whole Pingjiang Road. Because there are not many people, you can feel the atmosphere of Suzhou gardens and enjoy Jiangnan cuisine.

The key point is that we went there at night and in winter, so there were very few tourists. Otherwise, it would have been as crowded as Nanluoguxiang in Beijing, and we would have lost interest in sightseeing.

Pingjiang Road is brightly lit at night, with shops lined up, and the sounds of hawking, Pingtan, oars, and Kunqu opera fill the entire Pingjiang Prefecture! It is very similar to the bustling streets in the Qingming Shanghe Tu. You can find a piece of Suzhou embroidery in a specialty shop, listen to a Pingtan in the alleys, and sip a glass of wine by the Pingjiang River. Everything is so pleasant and beautiful! Of course, don't eat before coming to Pingjiang, otherwise you will be disappointed! Jinguli Art Center on Pingjiang Road also has Kunqu opera performances in the evening! After experiencing Pingjiang Road at night, Pingjiang Road seems much quieter during the day. There are many famous restaurants on Pingjiang Road. Zhangjia Lane in the Pingjiang Road Historical and Cultural District is located in this alley. Suzhou's two major art museums are located in this alley.

In fact, Pingjiang Road is very long, from north to south, so you must wear a pair of suitable shoes. Girls are recommended to wear flat shoes to visit the streets. Walking on Pingjiang Road, you will see young ladies wearing Hanfu from time to time. There are many rental points for Hanfu on Pingjiang Road, and the price is not very expensive. This is a benefit for young ladies. Walking on the ancient streets, wearing unique clothes, beautiful. In fact, the night view of Pingjiang Road is also very beautiful.

Pingjiang Road is where our homestay is located. So I wandered back and forth countless times every day, but I only went to its center once.



Arriving at dinner time, I saw its most lively side. Along the way, there were young ladies wearing Hanfu taking photos, and small vendors selling their wares. As a tourist, I was inevitably cramped, dodging or avoiding them, but I responded politely one by one. Almost every store has a short sentence about Suzhou, which makes this area particularly literary. Sitting by the bridge, the reflection in the river is clearly visible. White walls, black tiles, green water and green plants create a Jiangnan scenery.

Walking on Pingjiang Road in Suzhou, it feels like traveling through a tunnel of thousands of years, and the bluestone road tells the vicissitudes of history. The small bridges, flowing water and houses are all exquisite paintings of the Jiangnan water town. Couple Garden is hidden in the downtown area, showing the elegance of classical gardens; the old houses along the street have been transformed into literary shops, with both the delicacy of traditional Suzhou embroidery and the collision of modern creativity. Pingjiang Road at night adds a bit of tenderness, the ancient canal sparkles under the lights, take a rowing boat, taste a cup of tea, and feel the unique tranquility and comfort. Here is an indispensable chapter to experience the charm of the ancient city of Suzhou.

Pingjiang Road, half of Suzhou's history

Pingjiang Road Historic District is a microcosm of the ancient city of Suzhou

It is the most well-preserved area in Suzhou Ancient City.

If you want to have a quiet stroll along Pingjiang Road, you have to get up early.

Pingjiang Road is a historical street in Suzhou. It is a small road along the river, and the river is called Pingjiang River. Pingjiang Road Historic District is the most well-preserved area in the ancient city of Suzhou, and can be called a miniature of the ancient city.

Pingjiang Road is 1,606 meters long and is separated from Guanqian Street by an alley. However, its quiet and simple atmosphere of life is completely different from the hustle and bustle just a stone's throw away.

Although Pingjiang Road has been protected and renovated as a historical and cultural street, its main goal is to restore the old to its original state. Many old houses along the street have been used as bars and clubs, but they are not ostentatious in appearance and are quietly hidden under wooden door panels. At first glance, they look no different from ordinary houses, and only from the particularly exquisite carved porches can some clues be glimpsed. Compared with Shantang Street, which is also an old street in Suzhou, Pingjiang Road is less commercial, retains the old appearance of the city lanes, and retains the folk customs to a greater extent.

In the eyes of many elderly people in Suzhou, Pingjiang Road came first, and then Suzhou City.

It is no exaggeration to say that Pingjiang Road is a "miniature of the ancient city of Suzhou".



"Pingjiang" is taken from the ancient place name of Suzhou. In the Song Dynasty, Suzhou was called Pingjiang Prefecture. After Zhu Yuanzhang conquered Pingjiang, it was renamed Suzhou Prefecture.

For more than 250 years, Suzhou City served as the ruling center of several counties under the jurisdiction of Pingjiang Prefecture and Road, and was also known as "Pingjiang City". The name of Pingjiang Road originated from this.



I thought Pingjiang Road was not very big, but I didn't expect that there were many side streets and narrow alleys extending on both sides of the main street. It would take a lot of time to walk around carefully.

Tour tips: It is recommended to go there in the evening, so that you can enjoy Pingjiang Road during the day and understand its night.



In addition to Pingjiang Road, Qilishan Shantang Street is another popular old street.

If you don’t want to go to these two popular places, you can choose relatively less popular streets:

Shiquan Street (a new generation of internet celebrities), Fengmen Hengjie (a vegetable market full of life),

Shuyuan Lane (close to Shiquan Street), Wuqufang and Xizhong City (a small but beautiful garden - Yipu is hidden in the deep alley of Xizhong City),

Xiangcheng Old Street (original and natural), Taiping Old Street (millennium-old ginkgo, Dixi Warehouse shaped like a yurt)

Xishan Island (Dongcun Ancient Village and Mingyuewan Ancient Village on the island, public transportation is not convenient, suitable for self-driving tours)

I haven't walked along Pingjiang Road for two years. Today I passed by it while visiting a museum and found it has become more beautiful and clean. The merchants have good taste and several new alleys have been opened up, making it very suitable for girls with good taste to visit.

I walked back and forth three times, and the path next to it is worth walking a little further in. The river view next to it is nice, and you can sit next to it to rest when you are tired. There are snacks, drinks, and cultural and creative stores. You can also walk into the small courtyard, where there are leisurely coffee shops, Pingtan, etc., sitting there for an hour or two, enjoying the breeze and the scenery, it is very pleasant

Pingjiang Historical and Cultural District, relying on the Pingjiang River, is full of shops of all sizes, many of which are unique and creative shops where you can find a lot of things. There are also places where you can drink tea and listen to Pingtan, which is very Suzhou, and you can feel the fireworks of Suzhou.

.

There are many guests here during the day, and you can take photos by the river. The small bridge and flowing water are particularly beautiful.

.

It is even more beautiful at night with bright lights, and it has the flavor of the Jiangnan water town.

.

praise!

Pingjiang Road is about 1.6 kilometers long. The road is distributed along the river. Quaint literary and artistic shops and Jiangnan folk houses are lined up on both sides of the river. It is a historical district with unique Suzhou characteristics.

Today is the last day of the May Day holiday. There are obviously fewer tourists. The heat of the day has gradually subsided in the evening. It is very pleasant to stroll along the river. The popular family drama "All Is Well" has played a very obvious role in promoting Suzhou tourism recently. The entire Pingjiang Road is full of shops with "All Is Well" elements as selling points. Before coming here, I watched a documentary about Suzhou. I forgot the name of it. It mentioned two very special restaurants on Pingjiang Road. I found them all this time.

Another important task when you come to Pingjiang Road is to experience the national intangible cultural heritage "Suzhou Pingtan" that runs through the entire play "All Is Well". After listening to it, although you may not be able to fully appreciate its beauty, you will still have endless aftertaste. When you come to Suzhou, don't forget to listen to the elegant music of Pingtan after touring the mountains, playing in the water, and appreciating the gardens.

Pingjiang Road left a very good impression. In addition to its long history and culture, it can also help you who are not familiar with Suzhou. You can meet all your needs on Pingjiang Road, including food, accommodation and shopping. Pingjiang Road is close to the Humble Administrator's Garden, the Museum, the Lion Grove, etc.

Pingjiang Road is particularly beautiful in the early morning, without noise, no bustling crowds, small bridges, flowing water and houses, very leisurely and comfortable. Pingjiang Road is brightly lit at night, very lively, and various shops are booming. It is worth a visit, but public toilets are hard to find, and there are few restaurants, all of which are snacks.

A popular check-in spot, a leisurely ancient street. Although the commercial atmosphere is strong, you can still feel the life of the original residents. The small bridge and flowing water still give you a peaceful feeling. It is a great place

Pingjiang Road is a historical street in Suzhou, a small road along the river, with a total length of about 1.6 kilometers. It is the most well-preserved area in Suzhou Ancient City so far, and can be called a miniature of the ancient city. We started from the north and walked all the way to the south exit.

Pingjiang Road is a historic street in Suzhou. It is a path along the river, and the river is called Pingjiang River. Pingjiang Road Historic District is the most well-preserved area in the ancient city of Suzhou so far, and there is still an endless stream of tourists and locals.

"Early cherry blossoms in mid-spring, a few spring gardens, listening to the soft Wu dialect singing half of Kunqu opera, sighing about the dream words of Suzhou, melancholy that this world is just a dream." On the weekend, you can take a day off to let yourself go, go to a lakeside teahouse on Pingjiang Road in Suzhou, order a pot of tea, and listen to a Pingtan, which is very pleasant. Pingtan is really nice to listen to. If I hadn't been in a hurry to drive back at night, I really didn't want to get up. I wanted to listen to another song after listening to one. A building of the Republic of China, a piece of Wu dialect, a pot of tea, a stack of melon seeds, leisurely and leisurely.

I felt fresh when I first went there, but later I felt that this place has become less and less distinctive. There are too many overdeveloped businesses, it is very noisy, and there is no tranquility and gentleness of the Jiangnan ancient town. The bars and gift shops have made this place lose its Jiangnan characteristics.

Pingjiang Road Historic District is the most authentic water town area in Suzhou ancient city. It is a miniature of Jiangnan ancient town. You can feel a rare leisure by admiring the ancient residential alleys, flowing water and passing cruise ships.

Pingjiang Road is an old historical street in Suzhou. It is a small road along the river, which is called Pingjiang River.



Pingjiang Road Historic District is the most well-preserved area in Suzhou Ancient City so far, and can be called a miniature of the ancient city. Comparing with the "Pingjiang Map" of the Southern Song Dynasty and the "General Map of Waterways in Suzhou City" in the late Ming Dynasty, Pingjiang Road basically continues the city pattern since the Tang and Song Dynasties, and has remained vibrant to this day. Suzhou was called "Pingjiang" in the Song Dynasty, and the name came from this.

Check in at a place similar to Beijing's Nanluoguxiang, there are a lot of things for sale, it's commercial, and while strolling around the scenery, I happened to meet some locals doing pile driving, what a skill and a brave man!

We went there to find delicious food, and we were not disappointed. We found a restaurant while enjoying the night view of the ancient street. The food tasted good and the price was reasonable. We also passed by the restaurant where "All Is Well" was filmed. Although I didn't watch the TV series and didn't know anything about it, I took a few photos out of curiosity. There weren't many people, so I took my family for a walk and it was very leisurely.

Pingjiang Road, a historical old street in Suzhou, is also a microcosm of the ancient city of Suzhou. It can be understood as Beijing's Nanluoguxiang, or Lijiang Ancient Town. The things sold by merchants on the street are similar. Except for the increase in shops selling Hanfu and tourists wearing Hanfu, it is difficult to tell which "ancient street" you are in.

After dinner, I strolled around Pingjiang Road. How should I put it? There were too many people on the weekend. I don't like to follow the crowd, so I hid in the room to read and drink tea. I came out after 10 o'clock. Sure enough, there were fewer people. It was also very comfortable to walk around Pingjiang Road early on Monday morning. The master's salvation requires fewer people.

Pingjiang Road is an old street in Suzhou. There is a stone tablet at the intersection, showing the comparison between the "Pingjiang Map" in the Southern Song Dynasty and the current Pingjiang Road. They are almost identical, which shows that Pingjiang Road has been like this since a long time ago, and it has remained unchanged after years of vicissitudes. Pingjiang Road was built along the river.

The ground is paved with bluestone.

On both sides are low houses with white walls and black tiles. Some of the walls have turned gray and black over the years, just like those in ink paintings.

There are many small alleys and bridges, and each of their names has its own origin.

There are wells on the streets and bridges. Looking down, you can see rivers. Some shops draw water from the rivers and pour it at their doorsteps to cool down the shops.

There are small art shops on both sides of the street. It's nice to stroll around or sit in a shop.

For those who like Jiangnan water towns, this is a good place. Many original residents are preserved. Although some of the houses have mottled exterior walls, the overall effect is very good. Roses are blooming everywhere, which is very petty bourgeoisie. It is close to Couple Garden, Suzhou Museum, Humble Administrator's Garden and other attractions.

An old street with a unique style that is not too commercialized, with small bridges, flowing water, black tiles, white walls, and small flowers in full bloom. It feels like you have come to Suzhou in vain if you don't visit Pingjiang Road. It is a landmark attraction, but it feels so-so and has a serious homogeneity. There are many small shops selling pastries, and the atmosphere of art and tasting is a bit worse than that of Gulangyu. There are shops selling silk, round fans, and Suzhou embroidery. The quality is good and they are quite beautiful, but the cost performance of the attractions is not high. There is a teahouse with Pingtan, but you can't understand the soft Wuzhong dialect, which is a bit helpless for outsiders. In short, Suzhou is a place where you can appreciate the Jiangnan water town. It's okay, don't expect too much.

Pingjiang Historical and Cultural District is the most complete and largest historical district in Suzhou to date, and can be regarded as a microcosm of the ancient city of Suzhou.

Very good, the street with the most Suzhou water city characteristics, better than Shantang

It's just a historical and cultural district in Suzhou... you can go and have a look

There are many delicious restaurants on this street now. For example, Fox House, Su Fei, Chicken Foot Gala, etc. You can take some artistic photos

Pingjiang Road is a good place to stroll with family or friends in the afternoon. There are many small shops or restaurants that are suitable for inadvertent discovery. The snacks are very authentic and there are many Internet celebrity check-in spots.

After dark, I strolled for a while on Pingjiang Road Pedestrian Street. There were many pedestrians on the street and the shops on both sides were quite busy.

Pingjiang Road is indeed a place with Jiangnan style. Standing on the bluestone bridge, looking at the quaint houses on both sides and the boats slowly passing under the bridge, it feels like traveling through time. Although the area of ​​the street block is not too large, it also gives tourists who come to Suzhou a chance to see a glimpse of the "Venice of the East".

This block is not only close to the Humble Administrator's Garden and Suzhou Museum, but also not far from Suzhou University. Unfortunately, when I arrived at the university gate, I learned that the school required proof of entry and was not open to the public.

There are houses along the small bridges and the flowing water, and many people sell cheongsams, Hanfu, and Suzhou embroidery. The food doesn't seem to be anything special, but you can take a boat to experience the feeling of Jiangnan.

It is an ancient street in Suzhou. Now it has become one of the famous tourist attractions in Suzhou.

Pingjiang Road is a historical and cultural district in Suzhou. The parking lot is not big, but very convenient. It is just 50 meters away from the entrance of Pingjiang Road.

It is literary and unique. You must check it out when you go to Suzhou. You can also look for the lilac-like girl in the rain alley.

The filming location of the TV series "All Is Well" has a very peaceful and tranquil feeling, making it a great place to relax and unwind.

There are many surprises in the B&B in the old town. This one is worth staying in, remember to book in advance.

The buildings on both sides of Pingjiang Road are ancient buildings, with stone bridges, stone roads, flowing water, white walls and black tiles.

Not far from the Humble Administrator's Garden is Pingjiang Road, a small street with Hui-style buildings, small bridges, flowing water, and houses. It is so peaceful!

I like Pingjiang Road very much. It is very quiet, not crowded with commercial information, and there are many residential areas.

It's suitable for taking pictures. There are so many people squeezing here to take pictures.

If you go, be sure to avoid holidays, haha

The scenery is great and the ancient city has a strong charm. This popular online store is worth a visit

It's all good, but there are too many people. It's already popular.

Compared to Wuzhen, it is still less commercialized. I bought some Suzhou embroidery and plum wine. But I have to say that the quality of tourists needs to be improved. It should be a place of endless fun with small bridges and flowing water, but there are only mineral water bottles and cigarette butts floating in the water. Sigh...

Feel the Jiangnan style of the old street, where the river and the street are adjacent, and the water and land are parallel, which is very unique

I really like the Jiangnan water town. The pictures of the willows and painted bridges are so beautiful.

There are many unique shops here, which are very delicious. You can eat, buy and take pictures at the same time...

Pingjiang Road is fascinating both at night and in the morning. I suggest going to a teahouse in the afternoon to listen to a Pingtan performance.

There were a lot of people, and the night view was dark except for the few sections just after getting on the boat. I guess it would be better during the day.

Pingjiang Road is a famous historical and cultural street in Suzhou, a well-known commercial district, and the best-preserved area in the ancient city of Suzhou. It is picturesque with a new scene at every step, and it is as beautiful as sleeping by the river and listening to the wind. There are quiet and beautiful long alleys and lanes such as Daru Lane, Xiaojia Lane, Lujia Lane, Dingxiang Lane, Shizisi Lane, Chuanfang Lane, and Donghuaqiao Lane. It has the reputation of "Pingjiang Road came first, and Gusu City came later".

Pingjiang Road is a small road along the river, connecting the Humble Administrator's Garden in the north and the Twin Towers in the south. It is the most well-preserved area in Suzhou Ancient City so far, and can be called a miniature of the ancient city. Pingjiang Road basically continues the city pattern since the Tang and Song Dynasties, and has remained vibrant to this day.

It is a very long old street with a small river next to it. Walking and sightseeing on Pingjiang Street is really a unique experience. There are all kinds of snacks and delicacies. The unique shops are very attractive, especially for a night tour of Pingjiang Road. I want to come to this unique street again in the future.

It is recommended not to come on rainy days, the eaves are dripping, the streets are narrow, and you can't hold an umbrella. The specialties are still very good, and the snacks are great.

Several scenic spots in Suzhou are not too far away. It is recommended that you plan ahead to avoid unnecessary travel.

It's a relatively small pedestrian street, and it feels good to be surrounded by people.

A very distinctive street, with historical blocks distributed along both sides of the small river and an ancient water town where people live.

As soon as I came in, I saw relatively old buildings, blue bricks and white walls, small paths and flowing water. Not far away, someone was paddling a small boat slowly approaching. It was really a beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River. I came late, and the night fell quickly. The lights in the night were lit up, which was very artistic.

Rather than calling it a road, I prefer to call it a water lane, a classic water lane with a long history. Walking quietly in such a quiet water lane in the evening, I feel very wonderful. Haha, I feel like an ancient girl sneaking out to participate in the lantern festival. The houses on both sides of the river are used as various small shops, teahouses, food courts, etc. The classical architectural appearance forms a sharp contrast with the dazzling array of things inside.

The small shops here are very exquisite, and there is also a fan shop. We often see classical beauties in costume dramas holding a beautiful fan, shyly covering half of their faces, slowly appearing, very beautiful. The patterns on the fans are varied, mostly with various flowers.

The night view is beautiful, commercialization is not serious, it is worth a visit. And the nearby consumption is not high!

The sun had just risen, and the surrounding shops were not open yet, and there were no large numbers of tourists. At this time, most of the locals were pushing bicycles and riding motorcycles, rushing to work in twos and threes. Walking on the road, I saw an uncle standing on the stone bridge to enjoy the scenery, which happened to become the scenery in my camera.

If Shantang Street is like a lady from a noble family, then Pingjiang Road is like a fresh and beautiful literary young woman. Pingjiang Road used to be quiet and fresh; in recent years, the commercial atmosphere has become stronger and stronger, but I still go there occasionally to stroll around, crowded with tourists, and enjoy "pretending to be a tourist." In spring and summer on Pingjiang Road, there are always long queues in front of the food shops on Pingjiang Road...

Pingjiang Road is characterized by small bridges and flowing water. Pingjiang Road is located in the northeast of Suzhou Ancient City, starting from Lindun Road in the west, extending to the moat in the east, Baita East Road in the north, and Ganjiang Road in the south, covering an area of ​​about 116 hectares.
