Suzhou Xishan tourism strategy
Xishan is located in Wuzhong District of Suzhou, with the reputation of "the largest island of Taihu Lake" on its head. There are more than a dozen scenic spots in the scenic area. On the island, you can not only see the misty scenery of Taihu Lake, but also the misty peak, which is the first of 72 peaks in Taihu Lake. There are ancient villages, karst caves, farmhouses and fresh lakes. However, due to the large number and scattered distribution of Xishan Scenic spots, although the bus lines basically cover all scenic spots, it is recommended that the friends travel by themselves. And in February and March when plum blossom is in full bloom, and National Day holidays, many self driving may cause congestion of Taihu Lake Bridge. It's hard to find the parking space in the forest house cave when enjoying the plum blossom. It's hard to walk in the cave. Little friends should be prepared mentally.
