[Chin] Xiyuan Temple is actually called "Xiyuan Jiezhuang Lu Temple." It used to be a garden, but was later rebuilt into a temple, and is commonly known as Xiyuan Temple. So, now, half of Xiyuan Temple is a garden.
Many people come to Xiyuan Temple for the cats, but remember not to buy the cat noodles sold by the aunt at the entrance. [Bye]
Vegetarian noodles [Like][Like][Like]
This is one of Suzhou's must-eats. They come in "Guanyin Noodles," "Jixiang Noodles," and "Ruyi Noodles," priced at 15, 15, and 10 respectively. Refills are free, but toppings are charged separately.
I've tried both Ruyi and Guanyin noodles. The Guanyin noodles are topped with bamboo shoots and shiitake mushrooms, while the Ruyi noodles are topped with frozen tofu and black fungus. Personally, I think the Guanyin noodles are better. [Heart]
Sutra Copying [1:00]
This is located in the garden west of Xiyuan Temple, in a teahouse next to the pavilion. No reservations are required for sutra copying; you can walk in directly. Please wash your hands before copying.
The cat Fu Zundu is so cute! The cute cat pattern paired with the meaningful text is truly a talent! It's not only decorative, but also carries beautiful wishes.
I bought one and put it on the back of my phone case. Every time I see it, I'm so adorable, it instantly lifts my mood.
For accommodations, I recommend the Anyi Hotel (Guanqian Street Pingjiang Road Branch).
It's a quiet hotel in the bustling old town of Guanqian Street! But the street next door isn't noisy at all at night, and the windows are even three stories high! My friend and I had so much luggage, and they took it right to our room! It was a truly warm and welcoming stay! [Surprise] They even have a laundry room and dryer, so I won't have to bring so many clothes next time, hahaha. The rooms are all equipped with smart technology, especially the rooms! It seems perfect for business travelers!
