2024 Taicang Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in December)

Shanghai's outskirts, far from the city, lies the peaceful and pristine ancient town of Taicang Shaxi

Actually, there is also a Shaxi ancient town in Kunming, but this Shaxi ancient town is far away yet close at hand. It's visible and tangible. It is located at No. 142 Baiyun Middle Road, Taicang City, Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province. Navigate to the nearby Dongan Road parking lot, about a 10-minute walk away, parking fee is 3 yuan/hour, and 1 yuan for each additional hour. Ancient town ticket: Free (Tour time requires 1~2 hours) Here I found a small shop of hand-painted fans, the fans are hand-painted by the boss on the spot, 15 yuan each, the price is reasonable. The surrounding area is full of small shops owned by locals, there are also pickles made by the old lady herself, small tea houses, and you can also find some old items, etc. There are many merchants selling local specialties in the middle, such as freshly fried meat floss, cloud cake, lard rice candy, pine nut candy, sugar painting, etc. There are also many intangible cultural heritage handcrafts hidden in the ancient town, such as wood carving, bamboo weaving, etc. They are all made by the master on the spot, and you can buy them directly if you are interested. This ancient town has not been fully developed, there are many original residents, basically all in the West Market Street, where the prices are very cheap, locals set up small stalls, 5 yuan/large skewer of candied haw, 10 yuan a large bag of egg rolls, 10 yuan/jin of strawberries, basically no one on weekdays, it feels like having the whole place to yourself. The ancient architecture here is well preserved, mainly the layout of 'one river, two streets, three bridges, one island', the pace of life in the ancient town is very slow, many residents around sit at the door to chat, far from the tranquility of the city, those who like quiet can come for a walk, suitable for leisure travel! Shaxi Ancient Town

Harbin is too far and too crowded, so this place is very suitable!

If you like skiing, but think that the Northeast and Xinjiang are too far away, then Taicang is very suitable. Club Med Taicang Resort is very close to cities such as Nanjing, Shanghai, Suzhou, and Hangzhou. It takes about three hours for friends from Nanjing to drive there, and it's even faster by high-speed rail, taking just over an hour, which is very convenient. Club Med Taicang Resort is right next to Taicang Alps Snow World, which has more than 90,000 square meters and is the largest ski resort in East China🎿. Here you can experience the excitement and joy of skiing, and feel the wonderful ice experience brought by the colorful snow entertainment projects. Here, they use imported snow machines from France, and the indoor temperature is kept between minus 1 degree and 1 degree all year round. There are 5 ski trails with different slopes, the maximum slope is 16%, and the longest snow trail is up to 280m. Both beginners and experienced players can enjoy the joy of high-speed skiing. However, some players complain that the snow trail is not steep enough and not long enough. After all, the indoor is still limited, but I believe that here is the 'invincible' existence in the summer and autumn, because the outdoor ski resort does not open without snow at this time. In addition to skiing, you can also play ice mirror lake bicycles and snow bumper cars in the snow entertainment area, explore the ice palace, and interact with penguins. You can also go to the Snow Top Bar and Ice Mirror Castle Bar to drink away all the unhappiness. You can also see the light and shadow art exhibition in the resort, play in the camp, take the glacier train, there are really a lot of projects to play!

Clubmed Mediterranean Ark Resort

I had high expectations for my first stay at Clubmed, but the actual experience was average. I checked in on Sunday. There was only one counter for handling snow tickets, and the speed was relatively slow. There was no GO at check-in. The check-in time is 3 pm and the check-out time is 11 am (T3 members can delay for 1 hour). In fact, there were no rooms available at 3 pm and I had to wait. The hotel is very close to Taicang South Station and the Alps Snow World. You can cross the road to the Snow World or go through the corridor on the second floor of the hotel. Children under 4 years old eat free at the buffet dinner. There are two snack sets available at the U bar: fried chicken + sandwich/nut platter + fries.

The historical and cultural heritage of Shaxi Ancient Town is rich, and it preserves the unique Ming and Qing dying buildings, the deep ancient alleys, the ancient bridges and the former residences of historical and cultural celebrities. The Qipu River, which was excavated in the Song Dynasty, runs through the town. The river is wide and there is an island in the river. It is a major feature of the ancient town of Jiangnan. The ancient houses on both sides of the river are patchwork and row upon row. The streets along the river stretch for 1.5 kilometers, telling the prosperity of Shaxis former trade. There are three ancient stone arch bridges on the river (both Taicang City cultural relics protection units): Liji Bridge, Yongqiao Bridge, and Yixing Bridge, all with typical Qing Dynasty architectural style. Shaxi is also a place where humanities gather. Wu Xiaobang, an outstanding dance master of our country, was born here. He blended dance and life ingeniously and became one of the pioneers of Chinese new dance art. Combined with the traditional culture of the ancient town, Shaxi has carefully created poetry museums, woven pavilions, dance halls, and children's funhouses, so that visitors can enjoy leisure and entertainment as well as some knowledge and culture.

Shaxi is located in the middle of Taicang City, Jiangsu Province, 50 kilometers away from Shanghai Hongqiao Airport. The Shanghai-Nanjing Expressway has opened an exit here, only two hours from Shanghai to Shaxi. The ancient town of Shaxi has a long history, unique scenery and rich products. It is known as the Southeast Eighteen Town, Shaxi First Town.

Shaxi Ancient Town, the first thing that comes to mind is Dali, Yunnan, which is a major town on the ancient tea-horse road. However, in Taicang, Jiangsu, not far from Shanghai and Suzhou, there is also an ancient town of Shaxi. Not very famous, there are not many tourists, and no tickets are accepted. Shaxi Ancient Town is already a village in the Tang Dynasty, and it has a long history than many ancient towns. In the Yuan Dynasty, it became a marketplace, and the Ming Dynasty merchants became a major commercial and trade town. At present, there are more than 600 houses and more than 4,200 houses in the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, which are contiguous and fragmented. Alleys are narrow and long, and from time to time there are local old people living in the alleys slowly coming out. By the time of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, with the development of industry and commerce, a large number of merchants came into being, and it became a famous commercial and trade town. The Song Dynasty Fan Zhongyan presided over the Qiputang that runs through the town. The river is wide and there is an olive island in the river. It was cut off when the Xinqipu River was excavated in 1954. There are three ancient stone arch bridges on the river: Liji Bridge, Yongqiao Bridge and Yixing Bridge, all with typical Qing Dynasty architectural style. Meizu years, the town is booming. Supervising Yu Shi Su Zan's "Yu Shi Fu", Shanxi Road Yu Shi Cao Yu, the Criminal Department Langzhong Ye Yuchun and other officials, have built a government here, the street scene is good, "Shaxi Eight Views", far and near famous. The stone arch bridge is a good place to enjoy the scenery. There are no cruise ships in the river and the water is calm.

Taicang Club Med Resort ~ 2 days and 1 night is not enough

Winter is all about playing in the snow I didn't expect that my baby could play in the snow in Taicang, Suzhou. They provide hats, snow suits, snowboards, and snow shoes in a wide range of sizes. There are also changing rooms and lockers next door. The snow play area is more suitable for babies, with a carousel, off-road cars, a penguin area, slides, etc. There are many activities! At different times, there are also cartoon character interactions and performances. Ski area It feels more suitable for adults (of course, there are also many children taking ski lessons with coaches) It is very large and spacious, with 5 slopes of different gradients. There are also many rescue personnel, so there is no need to worry! After playing in the snow, we stayed at Club Med. The hotel activities were also very rich.

Suzhou's 40th garden.

Suzhou's 40th garden: Nanyuan Garden Nanyuan Garden was built by Prime Minister Wang Wensu during the Wanli period of the Ming dynasty. It covers an area of more than 30 mu and mainly includes Xiuxue Hall, Tanying Pavilion, and Xiangtao Pavilion. It was the place where Prime Minister Wang planted plum trees and chrysanthemums. In the early Qing dynasty, his grandson, the painter Wang Shimin, and the master of rockery Zhang Nanyuan cooperated to expand the garden and moved the Zanyun and Shier peaks from Yanshan Garden. It was rebuilt and renovated many times from the Jiaqing to Tongzhi periods. Nanyuan Garden is centered around a pond, with pavilions, towers, and Yudai Bridge dotted around, highlighting the balance and tranquility of the garden.

Budget travelers will be thrilled to stay here when they come to Suzhou!!!

We went to the Taicang Tree Frog Tribe! We bought a hotel package and stayed in the triangular house that our child had been dreaming of! Pros: 1. The location is very close to Shanghai, so driving is easy. 2. The hotel is hidden in the countryside, with only a few rooms, so it's not noisy and very relaxing. I really like the hotel's design concept, which blends into nature rather than destroying it. At night, you can hear the frogs croaking, and in the morning, you can breathe in the fresh air. 3. The service is attentive and thoughtful. A few days before we arrived, they contacted us by phone and WeChat to inform us of the precautions, and we could pre-order dinner. The staff at the restaurant and front desk were very friendly and accommodating, and the breakfast and afternoon tea were plentiful. We even received a gift when we checked out. 4. Family-friendly. The triangular house has some family-friendly details. The public areas also have some activities for children, such as outdoor movies. Although it rained and it was inconvenient to go out, our child was happy to paint kites and make models in the hotel. Due to the weather, we didn't stay in the area for long. We quickly visited the observation deck and Liuhe Ancient Town. The attractions were not very impressive, so I recommend relaxing at the Tree Frog Tribe. (When we left, we found that a small railway was being built near the hotel. Maybe there will be some exciting rides in the future.) I suggest putting some children's books or toys in the attic of the triangular house so that children can pass the time! That's all for now. See you next time!

72 Ideal Village is just too ideal.

We booked two villas and a standard room, and every room had a great view. The view outside the window is all green, which makes you feel happy. It's very close to the river and sea, so you can watch the sunset and then wake up the next day to watch the sunrise. The sunrise at 72 Ideal Village is absolutely beautiful, and it's really nice to watch it from here. There are no obstructions, and it's only a 2-minute walk from the homestay. Here's a short video for you to enjoy. The rooms are all very high-end, and the refrigerator is very large. The whole building has two bathrooms upstairs and downstairs, and each room has a private hot spring. The standard room is also very nice and spacious. You don't need a room card for breakfast, just register and you can go in and eat. This is a very generous gesture. The room has complimentary freshly ground coffee, which you can ask for at the bar during breakfast. It's quite good. We also booked a meal at the homestay in advance, and the sunset during dinner was also very beautiful. The food was delicious and clean. It's especially suitable for family trips. The whole pace of life slows down. 72 Ideal Village is getting better and better. They also gave us tickets for the small train. It takes 30 minutes to go around, which is great. There are also a lot of small crabs to catch at the river and sea, which is perfect for kids.

Taicang Park: Ancient charm and modern style, the essence of time.

Stepping into Taicang Park is like opening a heavy history book. The "Haining Temple" of the Song Dynasty and the relics of the Ink Pavilion of the Yuan Dynasty are hidden in the cracks of bricks and stones, telling stories of a thousand years. The charm of Zhao Mengfu's calligraphy still flows in the stele, and the past glory comes to life. Walking through the park, the winding paths meander through lush greenery, leading to exquisite little worlds. The artificial lake is as clear as a mirror, reflecting the pavilions and towers on the shore, like ink painting. The park is well-equipped and considerate, with a children's play area, colorful slides, and swings, making it a paradise for children. The fitness area has a variety of equipment to meet the daily exercise needs of citizens. Leisure benches are scattered everywhere, with sunshades, allowing you to rest comfortably whether the sun is shining or the rain is falling. The tomb of Jia Dan stands silently, bearing the wisdom of the water conservancy sages of the past, silently telling the story of time. What's more surprising is that the park is free to enter, and buses 126, 109, and 106 can all reach it. It is also easily accessible by car via the Shanghai-Jiaxing Expressway and the Shenhai Expressway G15.
