Pingjiang Road, Jiangsu, China

4.5 (981 reviews) Spent Ranking #7 in Suzhou

An interesting glimpse of the past

Narrow streets, local snacks, traditional souvenirs and picturesque canals. Take the time to look into the past, there was an old man who would personalise a silk fan for you by doing a painting and incorporating your name in both the Roman and Chinese alphabets. The snacks are all finger food with the sweet and savoury signature of Suzhou. Take a short trip on the canal or simply mooch. Fascinating history right before your eyes.

    Nice walk along canal with shop and restaurants offering a good distraction
    Came during the Labor Day holidays. Started in early afternoon and the crowd was bearable. People continued to stream in and by late afternoon, the place was packed. Interesting place with shops lined up along the canal. There are plenty of food and beverage options. Souvenirs shops are also in abundance. For entertainment, there are tea houses with talk show in local language. There are quaint alleys that are good for photo ops. Certainly worth a visit when you visit Suzhou.

    A photographer's favourite
    I like walking pedestrian streets and am predisposed to like this one. Lots of old chinese buildings and canal perspectives. I really enjoyed a pork puff I found there. Also the small Dream of Taoyuan restaurant (pork trotters, small bowl noodles, wanton soup, sweet bean curd) - managed to get a seat mid afternoon (outside of meal hours).
