In the watery town of Suzhou, Friendship River is the perfect spot for a romantic getaway! Willow trees sway along the banks, stone bridges arch over shimmering water - every corner is Instagram-worthy. Sunset is magic here, when golden light paints the river and couples stroll hand in hand. Hop on a traditional paddle boat to fully soak up that dreamy Jiangnan atmosphere.

This is a Jiangnan-style boutique hotel transformed from a historic granary, designed by renowned Chinese architects to preserve its traditional charm. With the theme of "fishing, woodcutting, farming, and reading," it offers a serene escape. The hotel features 15 spacious townhouse villas adorned with Wu-style cultural decor, creating a cozy and elegant ambiance. Liutang Chun Restaurant serves authentic Suzhou cuisine with a creative twist. The multi-functional banquet halls, converted from old granaries, are equipped with state-of-the-art AV systems, perfect for events. Whether for family trips, business stays, or pet-friendly getaways, this hotel has it all!

This stay at Fairmont Yangcheng Lake was absolutely outstanding! I must give a special shout-out to Rebecca, the hotel assistant—her service was exceptional from start to finish. She greeted us with warmth and genuine care, even upgraded our room without hesitation, making our comfort level instantly top-tier. What truly stood out was her thoughtful gesture of providing kids’ activity vouchers—our two little ones were thrilled and had a blast exploring the resort’s family-friendly offerings. The location is peaceful and beautifully set by the lake, with every detail reflecting luxury and attention to detail. The value for money is fantastic, and the personal touches made us feel truly welcomed. This wasn’t just a hotel stay—it felt like a memorable getaway. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend this gem to any family or traveler looking for an unforgettable experience.
