Songhe Tower was founded by the Xu family in Xuanmiao Temple, Suzhou in the 22nd year of Qianlong's reign in the Qing Dynasty (1757), operating a noodle shop and selling meals. It has a history of more than 250 years. It is currently the oldest authentic Subang restaurant in Suzhou and well-known at home and abroad. Songhelou's famous chefs have won gold medals in domestic and foreign cooking competitions, and Songhelou has also won the "Golden Tripod Award", "Chinese Famous Snacks" and "National Specialty Restaurant" awarded by the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Domestic Trade. Since Songhelou represents Suzhou cuisine in a sense, it is often seen in movies and literary works. The films "Three Flavors of China" and "Gourmet" are both based on Songhe Tower, and the famous novelist Jin Yong mentioned Songhe Tower many times in his "Dragon and the Eight Parts".

In 2007, the eighty-four-year-old Jin Yong returned to Songhe Tower. After tasting Subang delicacies, he happily wrote, "A century-old shop, everlasting, like a pine evergreen, The inscription "Like a crane adds longevity". Songhe Tower came from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and has gone through a long and soothing period. More than two hundred years of ups and downs have allowed Songhe Tower to interpret all its prosperity and hustle and bustle. Today's Songhe Tower is rapidly rising in Suzhou and has begun its new legend. Just as Mr. Jin Yong has placed his hopes on it, as the first restaurant in Suzhou, it will surely be "lasting and new".

Songhelou also has chain stores in Beijing and Shanghai. I have eaten there once in Shanghai before. Because I really don’t like sweet dishes, I didn’t choose to eat Songhelou again this time. If you are interested, Friends can still go and have something to eat.

I passed by this Teppanyaki restaurant and Xiaoyu loved it so much. However, it was already full and we had to change it to another day.

I ate some snacks outside for dinner, so I was called back to eat by my friends, but the food at their house was very light. I am a person who doesn’t like spicy food, which is sad
