Hey Hey and a Big G'Day toya,
After rising around mid morning I decided it was time for a slow day of doing not much at all!
I decided to stay one more day here in Suzhou and head to Zhouzhuang tomorrow. Zhouzhuang is supposed to be a very VERY beautiful water town that was built over nine hundred years ago.
Only way to find out is to simply GO!
Today I headed out of the walls and ventured North West. After coffee I caught Bus No: 1 on Jingde Lu which took...
Arriving in a blizzard, it quickly became apparent that conditions still remained severe! Thick snow covered every inch of the city and every news bulletin was dominated by the unprecedented weather - the worst in over 50 years. Even so, Suzhou was a charming place with a network of canals winding its way through the city, crossed by some wonderful stone bridges. The city is traditionally famous for its gardens - so probably wasn't the ideal time to visit!? However, its equally famous Silk Mu...

Hey everyone Me and Pete have just spent the past 3 days chilling in Suzhou, the Venice of Asia (apparently). We arrived late on the21st after yet another high speed train (its so cheap so it makes sense to travel fast and in comfort). Our taxi driver struggled at first to find the hostel. It turns it its down the back of several alleyways and canals (hence the Venice comparison) and it is in fact an old courtyard (dating back to early Mind Dynasty!). On the 22nd, we started roaming around th...

Well, so far we have really lucked out with this travel thing. We love it! We are staying in a small hostel, but it is actually a renovated traditional Chinese home. We got here about 9:00. We had to catch a taxi from the station because the bus had stopped for the evening. We get into the taxi cab and he asks where we are going. We show him and he is having a hard time reading it, therefore he gives the hostel a call. The car is driving along on the normal road doing normal things, and then...

... a menu already!!!! Drives me CRAZY!!!!
... the board so I get the stream of heat coming right to me.
The other moment that I disrobed a few layers was at lunch time. I
went to one of the local street vendors for lunch to buy one of my
favorite things, sweet potatoes. They are wonderfully warm and
delicious, the game hot potato has so much more meaning now as I walk
back to my office to indulge on my comfort food. Our office is another
place where we can ...
... my itinerary, which included Pingyao, one of the best examples of beautifully preserved ancient architecture in the country. Their response invariably was: "why would you go there?...it's so old!"
Good question. While us Canadians, accostomed to shiny objects, crave exposure to a past we've never had, the Chinese seem to prefer the modernity that reflects their recent success, opting instead for the glimmering cities of Shanghai or Hong Kong.
... tourists, so we returned the favor and pulled them into our pictures too! The entire place was great, and many of us said it was our favorite destination so far.
However, that sentiment changed pretty quickly as we took to a "Chinese gondola" for a tour of the Grand Canal. The century old homes that lined the canal were really interesting. Before the light faded, we hopped off of the boat and wound our way through a neighborhood ...
Our school is actually made up of two schools - the Chinese Public School, and the BC International School. Both schools share the same campus and facilities. When I look out my classroom window I look over at the Chinese students in the next building working hard at their studies. The Chinese Public School is made up of about 1700 students, grades 7 - 12. Our BC school is made up of about 220 students from grades 10 - 12. We have 5 non-Asian students in ...

The owner crash into collecting rocks from all over China especially from Suzhou lakes. You can see many white rare rocks full of holes and groves. Hence, this garden has the most famous rock in China which is 7m high.
You can enjoy drinking tea at teahouse and walk in the garden. I recommend to spend of 1-2 hours at this garden. There is also a shopping room where you can buy some souvenirs of Suzhou.
