Suzhou | A Must-Visit Ancient Panmen Scenic Area Full of Kyoto Vibes

Looking at the photos, did you think I was in Kyoto, Japan? Actually, this is Suzhou, just a half-hour high-speed train ride from Shanghai! With its close proximity and convenient transportation, Suzhou is undoubtedly the best day-trip destination during a Shanghai visit 🫶🏻 Upon arriving in Suzhou, I headed straight to the Panmen Scenic Area. Although there is an entrance fee, it’s absolutely worth it. Inside, you’ll find a sprawling garden with various ancient city towers and riverside willow trees swaying gently in the breeze, creating a poetic atmosphere. Strolling and taking photos here, you can deeply feel the rich historical and cultural essence 🥰
