👍Most Recommended:
[RoundNails] Suzhou Twin Towers are a pair of Buddhist towers, with a distance of only about 20 meters between the two towers. The twin towers that are so close to each other are unique in the country. Building two towers so close to each other requires a very high foundation, which shows the scientific and sophisticated architectural skills and superb wisdom of the ancient working people. The Suzhou Twin Towers and the remains of the main hall are now listed as national key cultural relics protection sites.

The remains of the main hall were cleaned and restored. It is a Song Dynasty architectural relic protected as a cultural relic in Jiangsu. The remaining Song Dynasty stone carved columns and foundations are exquisite and rare.


⏳Visiting time:
About an hour, there are scenic spots such as Dinghui Temple and Wangshi Garden nearby.


✅Must experience:
The Twin Towers are not popular attractions in Suzhou, but are suitable for tourists who like historical and cultural ancient buildings to appreciate them carefully. In winter, wintersweets bloom under the tower, and the fragrance is refreshing.
