点评:Easiest and cheapest way to get here is to take either Line 4 or Line 5 to Nammen Station on the Suzhou Subway. Exit via Exit 7 and you should be looking at a main street with a Mcdonald's and a Subway on the other side. Turn to your left and walk down the street, coming to Dong Da Jie after approximately 200 metres. Turn left into Dong Da Jie and keep walking for another 5 minutes, and you should be near the entrance of Pan Men Gate.
Admission is RMB40 (approx. USD $7), place is open between 0830hrs till 2100hrs. This place is not as big when compared with The Humble Administrator's Garden, but is definitely worth a visit. The pagoda located within the landmark is accessible to public, unlike the one at Tiger Hill, which was off-limits to non-working personnel.
Entrance into the Auspicious Light Pagoda required a separate payment of RMB6 (approx. USD $1). Note: The ascent to the top of the pagoda can be quite difficult if you are big in body size. I kept bumping my head and shoulders against the really low beams and really had to squeeze to get through some very narrow spaces. Basically, if you are over 175cm tall (approx. 5' 10"), it's going to be hard. I'm about 6' 3". If you however manage to get to the top, the full 360 degree unblocked view is worth the hassle.
Other than the death-trap pagoda, the rest of the area is worth exploring, looking at the lakes, flowers and old fortresses that were built during The Three Kingdoms period. One thing to note is that exploring this place involves a lot of stair climbing, so wear comfortable walking shoes. The picturesque views from the top of the fortress walls are worth the trouble. As this place is open till later, there's no need to rush here early in the day, you can plan to come visit this place later in the afternoon, when it is not that hot.
翻译:最简单、最便宜的到达方式是乘坐苏州地铁 4 号线或 5 号线到南门站。从 7 号出口出来,你会看到一条主街,对面有一家麦当劳和一家赛百味。向左转,沿街走,大约 200 米后到达东大街。向左转进入东大街,继续步行 5 分钟,你应该就在盘门入口附近。
门票是 40 元人民币(约 7 美元),开放时间为 08:30 至 21:00。与拙政园相比,这个地方并不大,但绝对值得一游。地标内的宝塔向公众开放,而虎丘的宝塔则禁止非工作人员进入。
进入瑞光塔需要另外支付 6 元人民币(约 1 美元)。注意:如果你体型较大,那么爬上宝塔顶部会相当困难。我的头和肩膀一直撞在很低的横梁上,不得不挤着才能穿过一些非常狭窄的空间。基本上,如果你身高超过 175 厘米(约 5 英尺 10 英寸),那会很难。我大约 6 英尺 3 英寸。但是,如果你设法爬到顶部,360 度无遮挡的视野值得你付出努力。
除了死亡陷阱宝塔,该地区的其他地方都值得探索,看看三国时期建造的湖泊、鲜花和古堡。需要注意的一点是,探索这个地方需要爬很多楼梯,所以要穿舒适的步行鞋。从堡垒城墙顶部欣赏风景如画的景色值得你付出努力。由于这个地方开放的时间很晚,所以没有必要一大早就赶到这里,你可以计划在下午晚些时候来参观,那时天气不那么热。
