In Suzhou, one can admire the grandeur of the Great Wall in the north and the beauty of Panmen in the south

Hi, I'm Kexin, a female engineer at a foreign company who loves to travel. Panmen, formerly known as Pan Gate, is one of the eight gates of the ancient capital of Wu It is the only ancient city gate complex with both land and water entrances preserved intact in China There is a saying, 'Admire the grandeur of the Great Wall in the north, and the beauty of Panmen in the south' Recommendation for avoiding crowds during the National Day holiday: Panmen Scenic Area. Are there any friends like me who didn't go back to their hometown for the National Day? After working extra days, I decided not to go back for the remaining two days. I'll find a scenic spot in Suzhou to stroll around and relax my stressed mind. Of course, when going out during the National Day, it's best to choose less crowded places. Panmen is such a great place to visit, where you can take photos at the ancient city gate, stroll in the park, fly kites, wander through the market, enjoy the lantern festival, and watch the sunset. Ticket 40 yuan, free for Suzhou Leisure Year Card holders, but the Leisure Year Card can only be used to enter before 4 pm. Time Opening hours: 8:30-20:30 (includes evening hours) Visiting time: A leisurely stroll takes about two to three hours Food You can bring a bottle of water, and there are many stalls in the scenic area, offering octopus balls, egg waffles, grilled sausages, corn, etc. As I was leaving, I saw the sunset beside the ancient bridge, with people flying kites nearby, and some playing the saxophone, creating a poetic scene— Small bridges, flowing water, and households Kites, sunset glow, and the setting sun The saxophone played a tune called 'Going Home' Eagles flying low over the buildings, a picturesque scene Do not envy others, For where my heart feels at peace, that is my home May we all encounter beautiful scenery unexpectedly.❤
