[Dreamlike water town, poetic lake Suzhou Taihu Lake]

Taihu Lake, like a dazzling sapphire inlaid in the land of Jiangnan, spans the two provinces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The Taihu Lake area of ​​Suzhou perfectly combines the gentleness of Jiangnan with the beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains. As one of the five largest freshwater lakes in China, it is vast and boundless, and is surrounded by historical relics and ancient legends like stars. According to legend, Xi Shi once danced gracefully on this vast lake, accompanied by Fan Li, casting a romantic and mysterious veil over Taihu Lake💕.

⛺【Amusement Activities】🎡:

1. Sailing experience⛵: Set sail on Taihu Lake and feel the embrace of wind and waves😜. Professional coaches will accompany you throughout the whole process, so novices should not be afraid. When the sailboat rides the wind and waves, splashing white water, the excitement is full! Remember to listen carefully to the instructor's explanation of safety knowledge before boarding the boat and wear life-saving equipment🛡.

2. Strolling in the sea of ​​flowers in Taihu Lake🌷: The sea of ​​flowers presents different colors in different seasons. Tulips in spring, sunflowers in summer, chrysanthemums in autumn...Walking among them, the fragrance of flowers is everywhere, as if you are in a fairy tale world🌈. Walk along the flower path, don't trample the flowers, let them bloom beautifully.

3. Lakeside camping: Choose a lakeside meadow, set up a tent, look up at the starry sky at night, and hear the gentle "singing" of the lake. Prepare warm clothes, as it is a bit cold at night by the lake. Also, bring insect repellent spray to prevent bugs from disturbing your camping mood😏.

🚌【Transportation Guide】🚌:

1. Self-driving: Start from Nanjing, take the Shanghai-Nanjing Expressway to Suzhou Ring Expressway, and get off at Dongshan Exit. The whole journey is about 200 kilometers, and you can embrace Taihu Lake in about 2.5-3 hours. The scenery along the way is nice, and you can stop at the rest area from time to time to stretch your muscles.

2. Train/High-speed Rail🚄: After arriving at Suzhou Station or Suzhou North Station, you can take bus No. 502 from Suzhou Station to Dongshan Scenic Area; take subway Line 2 to Line 1 at Suzhou North Station, and then take a bus to Taihu Lake. Bus transfers are a little complicated, so remember to check the routes and departure times in advance⏱ to avoid delays.

👉【Itinerary】🗺:
There are so many fun things to do around 🎉! Luxiang Ancient Village is very close to Dongshan Qiyuan. The stone roads and Ming and Qing Dynasty buildings in the ancient village seem to take people back to the old times. After visiting the ancient village, go and try the Taihu Lake boat dishes, freshly caught lake seafood, steamed white fish🐟, salted white shrimp🦐, and whitebait scrambled eggs🥚, they are so delicious! I recommend the B&Bs in Dongshan. Many of them have their own small courtyards, full of flowers and plants. You can wake up in the morning to the fragrance of flowers and the singing of birds, and start a day full of energy.

🧡【Preparation before departure】🎒:
Mainland China ID card, mobile phone and power bank are essential. You need to record the beautiful scenery and delicious food 📷, and the battery cannot be low. In sunny weather, bring sunglasses 🕶 and a sun hat 👒 to protect yourself from the sun; in rainy days, remember to bring an umbrella 🌂. Fairies who like taking photos, don’t forget to bring beautiful skirts 👗 and take great photos in the beautiful scenery of Taihu Lake. There are also snacks and drinking water🥤, so you can replenish your energy at any time when you are tired and have a happy trip to Taihu Lake😘.
