The ancient canal landscape protection belt is not only a green corridor around Suzhou, but also connects many historical and cultural relics in Suzhou and becomes a popular tourist route for Chinese and foreign tourists.
Along the ancient canal, there are beautiful scenic spots, such as Suzhou ancient city wall ruins, Panmen, Guxumen and Midu Bridge. There are many tall buildings on both sides of the canal, and the other side is a typical antique building. Ancient and modern buildings set each other off and the scenery is harmonious, which makes people feel the charm of Suzhou City in different times.

2. The best time in Shantang Street (it can be dark)
There is no charge for the block; Tickets for seven scenic spots, including Hanyu Club, Quanzhou Club, Shaoxing Club, Ancient Stage, Shantangge, Antai Fire Club and Jiangnan Clothing Hall, were jointly issued to 45 yuan.
Cruise ship 55 yuan/person (20 people/class in peak season and 8 people/class in off season), the journey is 45 minutes, and the hand-cranked boat 80 yuan/person can take 8 people.
Shantang Street was built in the Tang Dynasty during Pauli's reign. In 825 AD, Bai Juyi was ordered to Suzhou as a secretariat. Shortly after taking office, he took a sedan chair to Tiger Hill and saw that the nearby river was blocked and the waterway was impassable. After returning to the official residence, he immediately consulted with relevant officials and decided to build a road around Huqiu Mountain, and set out to dig a mountain pond river.
It starts from the vicinity of Nagato Duheshang Bridge in the east and reaches Wangshan Bridge in Huqiu in the west, which is about 7 miles long, so it is commonly known as "Qilishantang to Huqiu". The river joins the canal at Nagato. Build a dike next to the river pond, which is Shantang Street. The excavation of Shantang River and the construction of Shantang Street have greatly facilitated irrigation and transportation, and this area has become a bustling market. Suzhou people are very grateful to Bai Juyi. After he left office, the people called Shantang Street Baigong Dike and built Baigong Temple as a memorial.
3. Gong Li Dam and Gong Li Dam are the only long dikes of Jinji Lake, the largest inner city lake in China, with a total length of 1.400 meters, which was built by Yuanhe county magistrate Li Chaoqiong in Guangxu period. Gong Li Dam is elegant and exquisite as a whole, and we can still get a glimpse of the magnificent scenery gathered by merchants from the ancient inscriptions on the dam.
Gong Li Dam was built by Li Chaoqiong in the 15th year of Guangxu (1889).
Li Chaoqiong (18 17— 1909), a native of Hejiang, Sichuan Province, served as a county magistrate for two times, with a loud political voice. At that time, Jinji Lake was full of water and dangerous waves. Every time fishermen go back and forth, Gong Li feels sorry, and spent 14520 yuan to build a dike to kill the water potential. The dike is five miles long and there are thousands of willows. After that, the wind covered the waves, the road was safe and it was convenient to travel. People are full of praise and love to call it the Gong Li Dam.
4. Moonlight Wharf Charm Jinji Lake Moonlight Wharf: A legendary urban lake has a water area of 7.4 square kilometers, and Jinji Lake is the largest inner city lake in China. Jinji Lake Scenic Area consists of the city square on the west bank of Jinji Lake, Hubin Avenue and eight scenic spots around the lake. China's first business tourism demonstration zone.
Among them, the fresh "appearance" moonlight pier has a gentle radian, such as a crescent moon gracefully moored in the northeast corner of Jinji Lake, occupying an excellent hydrophilic area, inheriting the Wu culture heritage of natural interest and the exotic Suzhou style of fashion innovation, and becoming a shining landscape that lights up Jinji Lake. Moonlight pier is a paradise on the waterfront and is favored by moonlight.
Moonlight Wharf is dominated by pure European style, fully tapping the waterfront advantages of the project, conscientiously implementing the design concept of "crossing the dike island", and creating a high-end leisure and entertainment place with strong European romance.
5. Shiquan Street Shiquan Street starts from Fengmen Bridge in the east, crosses the city bridge (city bridge) on the inner city river, reaches Sanyuanfang in the west, and reaches a branch road of Renmin Road in the south. There are 8 bridges in the whole street: Brick Bridge, Infinite Bridge, Xingzao Bridge, Daicheng Bridge, Shipyard Bridge, Wuque Bridge, Fumin Bridge and Dicilian Bridge.
No.67 is the former residence of Peng Dingqiu and Peng Qifeng, the top scholars in Qing Dynasty. No.275 Huaihoutang is the former residence of Wang Hao, a great Zheng De scholar in Ming Dynasty. 1 1 1 is the former residence of Li Genyuan (self-proclaimed "Qu Liu Jing"); 1 15 is the residence of cotton industrialist Yan; There are also the Kuomintang generals' mansion, Ma's mansion and Tang Yabin's mansion (people nicknamed it "Ma Tang's mansion"); Zhang Daqian, Zhang Shanzi, Zhao Ziyun and Xiao tui, masters of Chinese painting, once lived here.
In the Lanchang Caotang in Shiquan Street, Peng Qifeng often recites poems in his spare time, and there are some good sentences in the poems. Now we can also read things like "the spring breeze of willows on the river and the drizzle of apricot flowers in the restaurant building"; "Sparse the wind and shadow the forest to cover the moon, outside the rainy mountain"; "In the Middle East, there are mountains and moons, and forests are sparse _ nine strange winds"? Such a good sentence coupling, its literary talent is not inferior to the rhyme of Tang and Song Dynasties, which makes people appreciate the charm of Jiangnan literati in exclamation.
6. From Pingjiang Road to the south, you can hear the melodious guqin sound in a few steps. This is a piano hall. It is said that a descendant from Wu Pai was invited to teach piano art. A few steps through Zhang Jiaxiang, there is another sound of bamboo and silk in the south of the Yangtze River, full of joy and excitement. Following the sound, it is a pingtan museum, bypassing the exhibition hall and the bookstore in the backyard. At the right moment, I spent a few tickets, listened to a piece of music, and the people in the stands sang and sang, so I couldn't help flying.
Turn out from the bookstore and go deep into the alley, and you will see another Kunqu Museum. Ridge tiles, gorgeous plaques and red lanterns look similar to ordinary imitation buildings, nothing unusual, but it feels good to walk in. The courtyard is lush with flowers and trees, and the slate is desolate, all of which correspond to an ancient stage in the middle.
There are many narrow streets and lanes vertically connected with Pingjiang Road, such as Shilin Temple Lane, Fang Chuan Lane, Donghua Bridge Lane, Caohuwei Lane, Daxinqiao Lane, Wai Dao Guan Qian, Zhongzhangjia Lane, Daru Lane, Jony J Lane, Niujia Lane, etc. There may be a long story behind each name. All the alleys are winding streets and high walls, which are quite artistic.
