The metro is convenient for getting between the city’s main areas; to reach gardens and historic districts, it’s often useful to continue on foot or by taxi. Buses and taxis are widely available, while ride-hailing apps like DiDi can make getting around easier, especially if you enter the destination in Chinese. In old neighborhoods such as Pingjiang Road and Shantang Street, walking is the best way to explore the lanes and canals. Leave some extra time for traffic, especially during rush hour.
Spring and autumn, especially from April to May and from October to November, generally offer pleasant temperatures for visiting gardens and canals. Summer can be very hot, humid, and rainy, while winter is cold and sometimes damp. In spring the gardens are especially beautiful, but during Chinese public holidays and national vacation periods the attractions can get crowded: check the calendar and book ahead.
To sample the local cuisine, look for restaurants around Guanqian Street and in the historic districts of Pingjiang and Shantang; along the more touristy streets, compare menus and prices before you sit down. Local specialties include Suzhou noodles and squirrel-shaped mandarin fish, prepared in a sweet-and-sour sauce. The local cuisine often leans sweet: if you prefer less sugary flavors, ask the staff for advice or choose simple dishes. In the busiest restaurants, it can be helpful to show the dish name in Chinese.
