Ping Jiang Road - Suzhou

After I touched down to Suzhou, I met up with my old friend from the US (Fred) and his PA (Ashley). Pingjiang district was the first place he had brought me to. It has a lot of water canals and bridges around the town. That is why Suzhou is well known as a water town. A lot of tea houses, souvenirs shops and buildings with china architectures were just everywhere along the rivers. The water in the canal was peaceful and the river side is shaded with a lot of trees too. One thing I noticed is that a lot of dogs running around that area. However, it feels pretty comfortable to walk down the street along the river side enjoying the sight seeing of the river and people around there.




























Yu Garden (豫园) - Shanghai

I took these photos around the Yu Garden but it is not inside the Yu Garden. It is because it needs entrance fees to the Yu Garden to view the China architectures inside the garden. So I was just walking around the outside of the Yu Garden for sightseeing, tasting those local food over there. It has a lot of Chinese traditional architectures around that area which makes this place feel a lot more "China" compared to the Shanghai town.
