4.0Zhouzhuang Water Town(1.047 reviews) - Zhouzhuang Versus Tongli As #1 Water Town In China Historic Sites • Neighborhoods
Zhouzhuang calls itself the #1 water town in China and millions agree with them but what about Tongl, another water town, not far away? Zhouzhuang is more developed, has more decorations, more shops, perhaps, but Tongli has more local people living right there, so it feels more real. The point is, really, there are several amazingly beautiful water cities in this region. Which one is number one? Explore them and decide for yourself. We took a gondola ride in both places, found great little hotels in both of them, and I took 1,000 pictures in each of them.See more..
4.0Guan Qian Shopping Street(339 reviews) - A Main Street in Suzhou Neighborhoods • Points of Interest & Landmarks
Guan Qian Street is a main shopping and dining street in Suzhou. There are a lot of Chinese shops and they are quite cheap. Recommend to go but beware of the shuttles and the motorbikes there as they always use the horn and it's quite dangerous.See more..
4.0Qin Huai River(245 reviews) - Loved Walking Around at Night Wednesday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Historic Sites • Bodies of Water • Neighborhoods
We went in late March 2021 and they had many new light displays set up. It is very busy near the shops and Confucious Temple areas but just past this it is nice. Many boats traverse the river for the displays but we enjoyed just walking around the river area so that we could take our time seeing it all. Most of the area is free to walk around but if you like lanterns and light displays we would recommend checking out Bailuzhou Park nearby. Closest metro is Confucious Temple Station and I would recommend going in the evening. Shops start to close around 9:00 pm and they kept the lights on until around 10:00 pm on a Monday evening when we went.See more..
