城市里生活久了，每个人总认为自己很厉害，虚荣和自我极度膨胀，好像忘了自己是谁，以及来自哪里？

We have forgotten who we are and where we are from after we have been living for a long time in the city. That's the main reason why I like hiking in the nature as so to remind me I am nothing without the nature.

Dongshan is located at the lakeside of Taihu, which is the mother river of Suzhou. Local people still live here and they enjoy their tranquil and peaceful lives very much.

They have been opening the small noodle restaurant in the downtown of Dongshan for 20 plus years, which was inherited from their parents. Even though it has no name so far, many local people still like having a bowl of tasty noodle.

Dongshan has different fruit in diferent seasons, different flowers in the different months, and has fresh fish and shrimp everyday, which seems like a fairyland.

We have always been thinking the human being is more powerful than other creatures, but we are totally wrong. We ever can't live without the food, the fruit, the fish which the nature creates for us.

Even thought the Autumn doesn't arrive yet, all kinds of fruit could been seen on the branchs of trees, which also means a full fruited season coming.

Beautiful sceneries are always on the top of the mountain. Don't miss hiking round 24 covings in Doanshan if you like outdoor activities.

It is a pity that most tourists hurry up sightseeing around Dongshan. In fact, the longer we stay, the more leisure we could enjoy.

It is wise if we would like to spend half a day reading something while drinking the tea in a quiet place.

Of course, we could touch long history and rich culture if we are interested. We would be surprised at such high-level and abundant relics.

旅行TIPS：

1.东山是太湖国家风景名胜区之核心景区，是吴文化发源地，国家级文物遗存众多，这也往往掩盖了其秀美的自然风光，行程安排建议以2天1夜为宜。

2.经典行程：第一天游览雕花楼、紫金庵、启园等人文景点为主，第二天，从雨花胜境出发，徒步莫厘峰或从西街出发，徒步二十四峰，抵达陆巷古村，感受乡村风光。

3.如果多次来东山，建议可选择在紫金庵果树下喝茶，太湖湖畔骑自行车，西巷村喝咖啡，雨花景区草坪上晒太阳等等，放松身心，休闲到底。

4.住宿推荐：雕花楼宾馆、西巷村精品民宿。
