Jinji Lake reveals Suzhou’s modern, cosmopolitan side, a striking contrast to the city’s classical old town. In the heart of Suzhou Industrial Park, the lake is surrounded by sleek skyscrapers and landmarks like the “Gate of the Orient”, Suzhou Central Plaza, and the Suzhou Culture and Arts Centre.

Stroll or cycle along the lakeside promenade, where shimmering waters meet contemporary architecture, or catch the weekend music fountain shows that light up the night. Savor international cuisine and vibrant nightlife or ascend the observation deck of the Suzhou International Financial Center for breathtaking panoramic views. As dusk falls, the lake sparkles under a canopy of lights, making it a favorite spot for photographers and night-time wanderers alike.
