Suzhou Shihu Park

Suzhou Shihu Park is located in the southwestern suburbs of Suzhou, seven kilometers away from the ancient city. It is known for its Wu Yue relics and the pastoral scenery of the Jiangnan water town, featuring numerous ancient temples, pagodas, tombs, and the retirement homes of Song Dynasty pastoral poets such as Fan Chengda.

The most famous scenic spot in Shihu is ‘Shihu Chuan Yue’, originating from the nine-hole bridge (Xingchun Bridge) on the lake. The holes are connected to each other, and their reflections can be seen in the water. On the evening of the 18th day of the eighth lunar month, when the bright moon is in the sky, each of the nine rings reflects a moon shadow in the lake water, forming a ‘nine moons in a row’ spectacle, which is extremely beautiful.

The scenic area also offers barbecues and boat rides. It is open all year round from 06:30 to 22:00.
