Suzhuo


Suzhou is a city on the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and on the shores of Lake Taihu in the province of Jiangsu, China. The city is renowned for its beautiful stone bridges, pagodas, and meticulously designed gardens which have contributed to its status as a great tourist destination. 

We stayed in an old part of town on an historic street called Pingjiang which sits adjacent to a water canal.


Our hotel was an old Ming Dynasty Mansion converted to a hotel. This is the entrance. 


Here's a view of one of the many water canals.  This one was right next to our hotel.






A stroll along the water canal.


A meeting of the umbrellas...




As always in China, street food is abundant...here Rae gets a treat!
