1.5h Drive from Shanghai to Suzhou's "Little Kamakura" for Cinematic Shots

Checked in at Suzhou's "Little Kamakura" on Dongshan Island✨
I was worried the overcast weather would ruin the scenery, but it turned out breathtakingly beautiful! Every casual shot looks like a Japanese film scene, romantic to the core~💫

📍Photo spot: Dongshan Island, Suzhou - Shijing Bus Stop

🚗 Transportation:
1.5-hour drive from Shanghai
40 minutes from Suzhou city center
🅿️ Parking tips: Free roadside parking, super convenient!

🌊 This is not a typical tourist spot, no crowds to worry about
Only intoxicating lake and mountain views + winding popular scenic roads
Driving along the edge of Taihu Lake, every frame is stunning
Highly recommend renting a bike to circle the lake, the breeze is so relaxing
Feels like time has been paused💙

Pet-friendly🐶
Brought my dog along to check in
Casual pup and lake view in the same frame
Every snap looks like a postcard!

💡Photo tips:
☀️ Sunny days bring out the vibrant blue sky and water
☁️ But the coolness of cloudy days is also very elegant
👗 Outfit suggestions:
Light colors are a safe bet!
Canvas bag + straw hat = full Japanese vibe

Find a weekend
and go on this date with the lake and wind
Few people, beautiful scenery, free entry
Just go for it!🌊
