the best thing is to go to Zhouzhuang on the first night, and then stay there for one night. For the houses outside, 6 yuan should be enough this season. There is a bus to Zhouzhuang at the North Station, and a bus to a small village called Jiangze at around 2 (sometimes a little changed) at the South Station, which costs 12.5 yuan (I don't know if it has changed). It takes more than ten minutes to walk to Guzhen District by that bus. The bus from North Station goes south, and the bus from South Station goes north. Don't turn.
not 8 o'clock, but 7 o'clock. It is because the travel company didn't go to work that it didn't buy tickets. Think about how many roads in your village have so many gates. When you get out of a main entrance, you have to check in at a pavilion next to the path.
The last bus from Suzhou to Zhouzhuang is at 5: 3, and the bus from Zhouzhuang to Suzhou usually ends at 5: 2. In winter, it disappears after 4: in South Station, but it's okay that the latest bus to Wujiang is at 5: 2, so you can transfer there.
It is recommended to go to Zhouzhuang on the first night, stay overnight and go in before 7 am. There are also some scenic spots that need tickets to see. You can watch this tour group join in. I have tried many times and got in.
it's cheaper to go from the south station. It costs about 8 yuan to take a taxi in Suzhou city.
