Day trip from Shanghai to Suzhou

I chose Suzhou because I wanted to go out to the suburbs for a day while staying in Shanghai!

1.
I think I got there in less than an hour by taking the train from Hongqiao Station. The station was bigger than I thought, so I got lost a little, but I made a reservation with the Trip.com app and was able to board right away after checking my passport! There was a reservation fee, but it was convenient! (Foreigners must bring their passports) The train was cleaner than I thought

2.
If you want to go to a tourist attraction from Suzhou Station, you can walk, but you will have to take the subway or bus, but Alipay doesn't work😂 If you don't have a local number, you will have to pay in cash, so please note

3.
I wanted to go to the Suzhou Museum, built by architect Ieoh Ming-Pei, who is famous for the glass pyramid at the Louvre Museum, but I was very disappointed because I couldn't enter without a reservation. If you plan to visit, be sure to make a reservation

4. Places to visit
Instead, I visited the Humble Administrator's Garden and Lion Forest, but it was full of people wearing traditional costumes, which must be popular tourist destinations among Chinese people

Guanqian Street is Insadong? I felt like I was looking at the baby and it was fun, I moved to Santangje and saw the night view and finished my Suzhou outing
