We will enter from the east gate of Panmen Scenic Area, one after another will visit the thousand-year pagoda —— Ruiguang Tower, the central courtyard and the ancient city gate of Panmen on land and water (the explanation is omitted, the guide is free to play). In the night garden of Panmen Scenic Area, you can experience the real scene of the tower to put the Rui Guang, viewing the local characteristics of Suzhou Kunqu, Guqin, Guzheng, etc., about 1 hour tour, and then cross the urn of the Panmen Land Gate, walk about 100 meters to the Ring River to take a cruise to enjoy the night view of the Grand Canal, the Ring River, the cruise first to the People's Bridge, so that visitors can feel the main road of Suzhou— & mdash; People's Road of prosperity, the bridge is 45 meters wide, a long line of antique “ promenade ”, diaphanous green tube tiles, corridor eaves lightly, the structure is delicate and exquisite, the color is ancient, overflowing with light, elegant “ Wu ” cultural atmosphere.

Then passed by the “Panglong Bridge ”, the bridge is the old bridge dismantled on the Xuxiang River “Zao Shi Bridge ” the old material built. However, this section of the river is wider than the Xuxiang River, the old “ Zao Shi Bridge ” stone arch on the small side, not quite suitable, so imitate its bridge type, enlarge the size, rebuilt a cement bridge, in the bridge partially paved “ Zao Shi Bridge ” old bridge stone plate, so a resurrection, enlarge the “ Zao Shi Bridge ” now named “ Pan Long Bridge ”. “Panglong Bridge ” is “the whole old as the old, to preserve its true ” typical.

The next is the dock and Panmen walls and towers on the cruise ship, the bridge in front of the most famous Wu Gate Bridge on the Ring River, as the name implies, that is, the meaning of the gateway to Wu, which spans the ancient canal, for land access & ldquo; Panmen & rdquo; the necessary road, is the highest single-hole stone arch ancient bridge remaining in Suzhou, was built in the Northern Song Dynasty Yuanfeng seven years (1084), in ancient times Called the new bridge, Song carved "Pingjiang" can already be seen, now see is the Qing Tongzhi eleven years (1872) reconstruction, for single-hole stone arch bridge. Bridge body length of 66.6 meters, the bottom of the bridge width of 5.8 meters, 4.8 meters wide in the middle, arch coupon span length of 16 meters, the top of the arch from the normal water level of more than 9 meters, greater than the radius, in Suzhou ancient bridge, is the highest arch of an ancient bridge. Bridge north and south of the slope of each paving the whole granite 50 levels, climbing the bridge can be seen. The north end of the bridge diamond wall on the left and right wings, built with 0.6 meters wide slender road, for the ancient slender boat pulling the remains of the bridge. This is rare in the stone ancient bridge, the whole bridge modeling dignified and beautiful, is a typical large arch bridge in the Jiangnan water village characteristics.

The bridge we passed in front is called the new city bridge, after the bridge on the right hand side is the ancient Xumen, originally called “West Gate ”, also known as “Guxu Gate ”, because the King of Wu Helu out of this door to ascend “Gusu Terrace ” and the name; another way of saying: because the great general of Wu Wu Zixu lived here, after the death of Wu Zixu, Suzhou The people of Suzhou to commemorate Wu Zixu to “ West Gate ” changed to “ Xumen ”.

On the left hand side, there is a river extending westward called “Xujiang”, “Xujiang” west connected to Taihu Lake and the Grand Canal, “Xujiang” to the entrance of Taihu Lake named Xukou. “Xuxiang” the clear water of Taihu Lake into Suzhou City, therefore, “Xumen” outside the river is the widest, the water is the clearest. In ancient times, Suzhou people travel mainly by water transportation, to Mudu, Dongting East, Xishan and even Shanghai, Hangzhou and other places are generally in “Xumen” the water dock by boat, is one of the main external links of Suzhou City. “Xujiang” Because of this, it has become the main pathway for officials and businessmen at all levels to enter and leave Suzhou. For the convenience of officials and businessmen in and out, the beginning of the Southern Song Dynasty, in “Xumen ” camped “majestic crown three Wu ” the reception of officials and foreign envoys “Gusu Pavilion ” and exquisite forest garden “Baihuazhou ”. “Gusu Pavilion ” is then the largest domestic, the most luxurious architecture of the post hall, the Qing Qianlong years, the provincial government and county official offices at all levels are concentrated in “Xumen ” inland section, “Xumen ” receive the official hall ushered in a few days, the official ship pectinate, extraordinary. More Kangxi, Qianlong two emperors on a southern tour, the dragon boat Lin Wu, where the special imperial wharf to embark, solemn and prominent, unprecedented, so called “ receive the official hall ”. Now we can see the west bank of the river erected three stele is “ Huang Ting Street ”. 1684, Emperor Kangxi southern tour to Suzhou, admonished local officials to “ love the people, public service, law-abiding, compassionate people ”. At that time, the governor of Tang Bin to the emperor's journey and the oracle of the stone monument in this, and for the monument built a “Wanshou Pavilion ”, the people used to call it “Huang Ting ”, so this street is called “Huang Ting Street ”

The bridge in front is called “Wannian Bridge ”, once enjoyed “the first bridge of three Wu ” the name. 450 years prospect of this ancient bridge had “missing ” once, at that time, the bridge width of 10 meters, about 100 meters long, the river has five large ring hole, all by the best Taihu Lake stone, the bridge perimeter seam, smooth Flat, both sides of the bridge planted with beautifully crafted stone railing, railing also carved with 100 stone lions, different forms of squatting, quality, type of majestic, strong, worthy of the bridge “ Zhuang Yuan ”! Deeply loved by the great corrupt official Yan Song in the Ming Dynasty. Was the governor of Suzhou as a bribe & ldquo; gift & rdquo; sent to the old home of Yan Song in Yuanzhou Province, Jiangxi Province, & ldquo; Wannian Bridge & rdquo; a break is two hundred years long. The three-hole arch in front of this “Wannian Bridge ” on the rebuilt.

After Guxu Bridge, Ganshu Bridge, Jingde Bridge, the left hand side of the front you see is the 10,000 people dock, the “10,000 people dock ” original name “prisoner dock ”. In the Qing dynasty, regardless of the north and south of the river, all belong to the Jiangsu province county criminal cases in the big cases, important cases, as well as sentenced to & ldquo; beheaded awaiting & rdquo; criminals, are to be solved in Suzhou & ldquo; over the hall & rdquo; review, held in Suzhou prison to listen to the treatment. This dock is around the waterway escort to Suzhou's special dock, so called “ prisoner dock ”. Later, due to the development of transportation, the escort of prisoners by water to land, the pier is no longer on the prisoners up and down. But the residents there think called “prisoner dock ” indecent, so it was renamed “ten thousand people dock ”.

“Nanhao Street ” is a cultural, commercial street, the existing eighteen scenes, a thousand-year history of “Temple of the Immortals ” has been moved to build in the street, the annual “Roll the Immortals ” temple fair that is held here. Legend has it that on this day, the 14th day of the 4th month of the lunar calendar, one of the eight immortals, Lü Dongbin, transformed into a ragged beggar, came down to enlighten the world, people outside the city at this time to rush to “Gate of Gate of Heaven ” Lü ancestral shrine in Xiantang Street, crowding each other, each other, hoping to get some immortal gas, give themselves a chance to have fun. The story told in the Suzhou commentary "Jade Dragonfly", that is, "the mother of the nunnery" also took place in this street.

The front we see is “ suspension bridge ”, also known as “ rainbow bridge ”, was built in the Song Dynasty, the first wooden bridge. Because the place is at the confluence of five waters, water to the bridge, converging into four abysses, wooden bridge washed away by the water, after the Yuan Dynasty, Tai Ding years, converted into a stone bridge. Now this classical and simple corridor bridge is newly built, which not only adapts to the needs of modern traffic, but also harmonizes with the overall appearance of the Gate of Heaven.

The ancients divided the field into eight directions, respectively, and the eight heavenly winds in the sky to connect, the road to the sky, is the most important, called “ gate wind ”. Because the wind through the sky can be blessed by the gods of heaven, so it was named “Gate of Heaven ”. Moreover, the strategic purpose of Wu is to compete with Chu, so “Gate of Gate of Heaven” in history there is a name called “Broken Chu Gate”. At that time, from the canal side of the Tieling Pass to the east until “hanging bridge ”, is one of the country's largest commercial, trade distribution center, grain lines such as forests, merchants are listed, “Shangtang River ” along the line, divided into Tieling Pass, Baihu Pass, Jingyan Pass three tax gates, a thousand sails, a hundred voyages, the total population reached nearly a million. Stores of all kinds, teahouses, restaurants, restaurants, goods stalls abound. In addition to the distribution of agricultural and sideline products and handicrafts from all over the country, the stores also sell Japanese furniture and lacquerware, Korean folding fans, tortoiseshell from the South Seas, jewelry and other accessories. The entire & ldquo; Gate of Heaven & rdquo; lot of traffic, the flow of people shoulder to shoulder, is really & ldquo; red dust in the first, second-class rich and elegant place & rdquo;!

On the left hand side is the most famous Shantang Old Street, known as Seven Mile Shantang, so bring your luggage items and follow me to experience the prosperity of Shantang.
