Suzhou has been more and more popular international & domestic tourist destination. Water towns are must-see attractions and also warm-welcomed by tourists. If you have already been to Zhouzhuang, Tongli, I would like to recommend two-day-and-one-night typical tour to Mudu.

The first day: drive to Mudu and settle down at Jiushu Resorts. Please book and confirm the guestrooms in advance and the steward picks you up at the parking and arrange to take the small boat to the hostelry. 

Have lunch at North Latitude 30 Travel Restaurant opposite to the hostelry.

Ramble around Shantang street, visit Yan Family's Garden well-known for Mr Yan Jiagan, who had been vice president of Taiwan, and Hongyin Mountain Villa which has been famous for emperor Qianlong in the afternoon.

Have the dinner at The Fish & Rice Restaurant a few steps away from the hostelry.

Read your favorite books, drink the tea with your family at the lobby or listen to the sounds of nature at the yard of the hostelry at night.

The second day: sleep as long as you can until wake up in the nature or hike to the top of Lingyan mountain in the early morning.

Have a local & typical breakfast in the hostelry

Roam in the old town again, pay a visit to Wuzhentang to witness how black rice is made and taste the delicious black rice, buy some unique sweet crackers with sesame seeds on the top as the best souvenirs

Take some time to drink the tea or coffee leisurely at Xiangxi ART+

Have the lunch at Xishan Hall to experience fantastic Suzhou cuisine taste

The themed tour above targets FIT tourists and tries to give them unforgettable experience including water town, gardens, local cuisine, boutique hotel, history and culture of Suzhou. Please search and read relating detail information which I have introduced recently.

TIPS:

1. Drive yourself or take metro line 1 and get off at Mudu station, arrive at the Mudu tourism parking according to the steward's instruction of the hostelry. 

2. Don't hurry up, try to slow down as possible as you can in the town, enjoy the life beauty within the nature. 

3. Walking is enough to reach out what I have mentioned before.
