Here are some hotel recommendations for those planning to travel to Suzhou.

Suzhou Wu Palace Pan Pacific Hotel (Pictures 1-6) This was the first hotel I stayed at when I arrived in Suzhou. I chose it because it's close to the Seven-Li Shantang, which I had been longing to visit. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the hotel's back door leads to the 4A-rated Panmen Scenic Area. The scenery is beautiful in the evening, and you can experience the ancient canal. The hotel is decorated in an elegant and atmospheric Suzhou garden style. Food tip: There's a restaurant called [Rui Mian] near the scenic area. The Suzhou-style noodles and mung bean cakes there are delicious and definitely worth a try. Price and disadvantages: The price is about CNY 600-800. The hotel facilities are a bit old, which is a small disadvantage. Suzhou Jinpudun Zhu Hui Hotel (InterContinental's Gusu luxury garden style, located in Gusu District) Pictures 7-12 My itinerary for the second day: Check out and check in to the new hotel - Suzhou Museum - Humble Administrator's Garden - Hanshan Temple - Pingjiang Road Advantages: 1. The breakfast is super luxurious and rich. If you don't want to go out for lunch, you can try the Suzhou cuisine like I did. It's all great, and the service attitude is also very good. 2. Every corner of the courtyard is picturesque, very elegant and atmospheric. The rooms combine garden and modern elements, showing elegance and comfort; coffee machine, kettle, large bathtub, and lazy chair are all great. Price: About CNY 1,600-2,000. Jinji Lake Tonino Lamborghini Boutique Hotel - Located in Jinji Lake Scenic Area (Pictures 13-16) The itinerary for the third day is mainly leisurely. I went to the city center for a stroll. This hotel is close to many places: the Gate of the Orient (you can see Jinji Lake and the "big pants" after having breakfast at the hotel), Jinji Lake, Eslite Bookstore, Moonlight Wharf, etc. Highlights: The rooms are super large, and there are many books in the room. You can bring your kids to the book bar for free; The toiletries are also unique, all related to Lamborghini; For lunch, I recommend the [Su Mian Guan] in the hotel. The Suzhou-style thin noodles are authentic. Price: CNY 900-1,200
