Shantang Street (山塘街) – Explore Suzhou through the charm of the old town 🏮
If you are looking for a place to visit in Suzhou that gives a retro feel, a relaxing walk, beautiful photos, and a classic old town cruise, "Shantang Street" is one of the places that you must not miss.
Shantang Jia is over 1,200 years old, located along an old canal. Both sides of the street are full of ancient buildings, small teahouses, and a simple atmosphere that is not easy to find in big cities today. In the evening, the lights decorated along the bridge and canal will be turned on, adding another level of romance.
Why should you visit here? ✨
1. Experience the atmosphere of ancient Suzhou 🏯
Both old Chinese houses and small canals with boats passing by.
2. A paradise for photographers 📸
There are many photo spots, including arched stone bridges, old wooden houses along the water, and cute shops.
3. Taste local delicacies 🍡
Whether it's old-fashioned pastries, burnt sugar in the shape of animals Or Xiaolongbao that is as good as Shanghai
4. The atmosphere at night is mellow ✨🌙
Walking under the light of the lanterns and the reflection of the canal feels like you've stepped into a period Chinese movie.
