Panmen Gate, Suzhou

4.3

Part of the 6th-century BCE city wall that once surrounded Suzhou, Panmen Gate now stands as the only well-preserved water-and-land city gate in the world. It leads to a place soaked in history with ancient landmarks, including a pagoda and bridge. Inside the gate tower itself, history beckons among the ancient weapons on display on the first floor, while an extensive view of the whole city awaits you at the top. Once you pass through the gate, absorb the beauty of the carefully designed scenic area as you cross the small bridges over streams full of koi, admire the elegant pavilions, or take a boat tour.

景区工作人员太差劲，头天买的门票，由于时间关系第二天去，导游说没关系，可以进去的，结果不让进，要跟她们市场部联系，导游进行沟通也不行，打了很多电话都没人接，我们在大风中等了很久，结果打了110才让进，想说的是如果有紧急状况怎么办？无人接听电话。 more »

The scenic staff is too poor, the tickets bought the night before, due to the time of the second day, the guide said it's okay, can go in, the results do not let in, to communicate with their marketing department, tour guide communication is not good, played a lot of phone no one to answer, we in the gale medium for a long time, the result hit 110 to get into, I mean, what if there's an emergency? No answer to the phone.

Beautiful garden with a lot of restaurants trappings. The entry is full right with 40 RMB. Be sure only around 17:00 (is open until 20:00) going into the week, since it is pretty empty and you can enjoy the sunset. Then you can take still a nice walk outside the walls.
