Hungry while exploring Suzhou? Don't miss the 'Sha Zi Gua Zi' (Hua Yuan West Road Branch)! Their signature roasted sunflower seeds are plump, crispy, and bursting with flavor, available in unique local varieties. Watch as they're traditionally wok-fried to golden perfection – the ultimate Suzhou street snack. Pro tip: try the five-spice and butter flavors, loved by locals and tourists alike!

More than a hotel, this is a time-traveling luxury experience! Nestled in the ancient Shantang Street, master designer Liang Jianguo blended imperial grandeur with Suzhou gardens. Rooms feature 2m oversized beds and separate showers. Stroll through lotus ponds in summer or sip tea in snowy courtyards—pure Jiangnan poetry. Family-friendly perks include kids' meals and home theaters, with metro access and free parking nearby. Whether for Instagram snaps or relaxation, this sanctuary checks all boxes!
