Suzhou: Just Got Here & Already Want Out 🥲

[Abraham Kris]

Any recommendations for a Suzhou-style noodle place?

[Tanya Bogisich IV]

My itinerary is all about food!

[Mr. Jody Bednar]

Go to the Couple's Retreat Garden (Yi Yuan)! Skip the Humble Administrator's Garden (Zhuo Zheng Yuan)!!

[Hugo Witting]

What about the Lingering Garden (Liu Yuan)?

[Lucia Feest]

Anyone else traveling solo? I am too. Looking for someone to explore with – I'm a girl, hoping to find another girl to team up with.

[Lena Oberbrunner]

See you today!

[Orlando Ryan]

Arriving in Suzhou soon and want to do a Zanhua (hairpin flower) photoshoot. Any recommendations?

[Mr. Otis Schaefer]

Hey sis, why not a Qipao photoshoot? A Qipao in the gardens is a true Suzhou signature! Pair it with a simple hairpin – it'd look incredibly elegant!

[Leon O'Keefe]

...So, what's actually fun to do in Suzhou? Why does it have such a huge appeal...?

[Lucia Feest]

Haha, you have to understand how appealing places like Suzhou are, especially to people from the north. That whole 'misty Jiangnan' vibe – who wouldn't want to experience that? Haha!

[Zachary Hayes]

Any gals heading to Suzhou around late June or early July?

[Miss Alison Collier]

Emm, if you don't mind Suzhou's plum rain season, then go for it. Otherwise, you might want to reconsider.

[Iris Marquardt]

Honey, I just asked my roommate – hotels in both Suzhou and Nanjing are super expensive!

[Reginald Ziemann]

Any hotel recommendations?

[Ellis Sauer DVM]

I booked mine on Meituan (MT), and it's my favorite guesthouse so far! It has a projector, an iron, and even some workout gear. The only catch is they charge for disposable bath towels, but that's not a dealbreaker.
