Orient Hotel Lianyungang

We began the next day taking a cruise along the canal from Suzhou, past lots of industrial boats and more construction sites but even so though it was still a nice enough journey as the sun was out. Zhouzhuang is set amongst some nice villas and apparently this area is where people come from Shanghai to holiday, relax and play golf.

... many tourists, mostly Japanese, the areas of bridges and narrow alleys with the river canals streaming in between was a gorgeous sight to see. It was actually to me it looked, the "Venice of China". Before we split up we toured Shen's house, really without the help of the tour guide because she kept taking off and was embarassed by her English. The house was in Qing style, over 2,000 sq meters big (more than half an acre!!). With more than 100 rooms, it was divided into ...
