Suzhou, called Wu in ancient times, is called Su for short, and also called Gusu and Pingjiang. It is a national historical and cultural city, a scenic tourist city, a national high-tech industrial base and one of the important central cities of the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration. The following is the best season for Suzhou tourism that I have carefully prepared. You can refer to the following!
Time and season of Suzhou tourism
The best tourist season in Suzhou is spring and autumn. Suzhou belongs to subtropical monsoon climate, with mild and humid climate and distinct four seasons, especially in spring and autumn.

In addition, the "Xiang Xue Hai" in Fugu ancient town of Yue Guang, as well as plum blossoms, is intoxicating. From April to June, you can taste fresh peaches, "Biluochun", bayberry, loquat, sugar lotus root, hairy crabs, pickled Du Xian and other fresh foods in Taihu Islands.

The bell of Hanshan Temple rings on New Year's Eve 108, which means that there are twelve months, twenty-four solar terms and seventy-two periods in a year (five days were one period in ancient times). After hearing the bell, it means to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, and to be healthy in the coming year. Accompanied by the bell of Hanshan Temple, people happily welcome the arrival of the New Year. The bell of Hanshan Temple has now become an "auspicious bell" for tourists at home and abroad to take away their troubles and bring good luck in the new year.
