This is the only well-preserved ancient city wall site in Suzhou. Stroll along the city wall and overlook the moat surrounding it. The ginkgo trees and city wall in autumn are a perfect match! It’s recommended to visit after 4 PM when the light is softer and better for photos. Walking along the river, you can see Suzhou’s most distinctive water and land city gates. The night view is also beautiful~

One of China’s Four Great Gardens, a pride of autumn~ As soon as you enter, you’ll be amazed by the Jiangnan water town scenery! Don’t forget to check in at the popular photo spot, standing in the loquat garden looking inward, it’s super photogenic! Every corner of the garden looks like a painting, and wearing Hanfu makes the photos even more atmospheric. It’s best to go early in the morning when there are fewer people and the scenery is beautiful.
