Suzhou people are really tight-lipped, they keep such a beautiful place hidden...
If you think Suzhou's Shantang Street, Humble Administrator's Garden, and Pingjiang Road are crowded,
then why not come to Changshu for a walk,
classical gardens, small bridges and flowing water, fireworks in the alleys, and elegant stories of literati;
green mountains and clear waters, climbing high to see far, exploring the forest, and the endless fun of the mountains and fields;
especially in autumn, Changshu is really as beautiful as a painting.

✅Shanghu Lake
Shanghu Lake and Yushan Mountain complement each other, and there is a saying that "ten miles of green mountains are halfway into the city, and ten thousand acres of blue waves surge at the west gate". It is a famous scenic spot in the south of the Yangtze River. Shanghu Lake has both the beauty of gardens and the fun of the outdoors. It is very pleasant to stroll through it, especially to take a bamboo raft through the water forest, which feels very comfortable, or to take a hot air balloon to see the beauty of the mountains and waters of Shanghu Lake from high above.
Shanghu Huajianfu enjoys the beautiful scenery of Shanghu Lake and Yushan Mountain. It feels like living in a private garden. It is very quiet and enjoyable.

✅West City Pavilion
Changshu is one of the few cities in the south of the Yangtze River with ancient city walls. Climbing up to the top of the mountain along the city wall, you can overlook the beautiful scenery of Changshu, Yushan Mountain and Shang Lake.
-
✅Shimei Square
There is a unique building called "Yishan Building" where you can learn about the history of Changshu and take photos.
-
✅Yushan Maple Trail
It is said that Jiangnan is a landscape painting in ink and wash, but Yushan in autumn is more like an oil painting with thick ink and heavy colors. The mountains and plains are full of colorful forests, especially the maple trail. It is very pleasant to stroll there or sit under the trees and drink tea.
Admission is free.
-
✅Square Pagoda Garden
The towering ancient pagoda still stands tall despite the vicissitudes of life, and the garden scenery is not inferior to the famous gardens in the south of the Yangtze River. Especially in autumn, the 800-year-old ancient ginkgo and the red maple trees in the garden are very pleasant.
