Venice of the East

I have been to Venice in 1992. Nice! I have always been wanting to visit Suzhou, Venice of the East. I have seen so many documentary and photographs of Suzhou, the bridges, the canals, the architecture, all are filled with so much character.

Suzhou didn't disappoint me. It is simply splendid! I love Suzhou!




Bus Stop: Nice hor?


Even the street lamps are so traditional-looking






Even the bride came here for outdoor photography









Morning...



The canal just outside the hostel (along Ping Jiang Lu 平江路)


A tourist from Beijing. His camera's battery is flat! Luckily, he stayed nearby. I asked him to pose for me. Hehe





Boat cleaning the canal












Suzhou is even more beautiful at night. I regretted for not going to 上塘街, heard that it was beautiful from a tourist from Guangzhou. She was staying in 上塘街, and said that street is beautiful at night!
