Pingjiang Road

Nice walk beside a small canal. Still plenty of people in the area. Lots of old buildings converted to tea houses and shops selling souvenirs, food, snacks, coffee etc. You get a feel of the old Suzhou and the laid back atmosphere

When you visit Pingjiang Road, you need to visit this wall, which has the word Suzhou written on it, as well as paintings of Suzhou's characteristic buildings.#suzhou #suzhoulife #suzhouchina #china #chinatravel #chinatrip

Lots to see and do. Food, history and shopping. A must visit in Suzhou.

The cruise ship does not have a one-way ticket. The main road is particularly narrow and the alleys are as capillary as the road is straight.

Today, I have a deep tour of Pingjiang's historical and cultural district. Thank you, Mr. Li Qing, the lecturer of the Xianka explanation group, for his accompanying and intensive lecture. To deeply appreciate the cultural spirit of a city, you must go deep into the alley to listen to its story.

Teacher Li is very knowledgeable and has come all the way to Suzhou and historical allusions. Especially the mansion of the Zhuangyuan who took us to visit the Qing Dynasty. Pan Zhuangyuan was once assisted by the four emperors of Qianlong, Jiaqing, Daoguang and Xianfeng. The family has a lot of scholars and scholars. I am impressed!
