Plan your routes and timings before you arrive.
Gaoyou is easiest with a little planning: which neighborhood to pick, when it’s quiet, and how to get around.
Plan parking before you arrive
In Gaoyou, a central stay can save time if you are driving in, but parking may be tighter near busier streets and food spots. Check availability ahead, or choose a place with on-site parking where available.
