Suzhou's Hidden Paradise! Personal Experience at Xu Gusu Yi Jiangnan Inn (Xishan Branch 2)

This time in Suzhou's Xishan, I chose to stay at "Xu Gusu Yi Jiangnan Inn (Xishan Branch 2)," and it turned out to be the perfect choice for a getaway! The inn is located by the shores of Taihu Lake, offering stunning views of the lake and mountains right outside the window. In the early morning, you can even hear the chirping of birds, instantly transporting you away from the hustle and bustle of city life. The inn retains the essence of traditional Suzhou architecture, with white walls, black tiles, and intricately carved wooden windows, exuding the charm of Jiangnan. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, with exquisite amenities. I particularly loved their tea set—brewing a cup of Biluochun tea in the morning while enjoying the lake view outside the window is pure bliss. The highlight of the stay was the "Taihu Fisherman's Feast" experience offered by the inn, featuring freshly caught lake delicacies that were absolutely delicious! The owner is warm and welcoming, even proactively recommending hidden gems in the area, such as the ancient village of Mingyue Bay and the Shigong Mountain Trail. If you're looking to experience the true slow-paced Suzhou lifestyle, this inn is undoubtedly the top choice!
