Suzhou is a lovely ancient city with lots of top sights. However, the traffic could be overwhelming. One has to be careful when walking , as motorcycles can drive on pedestrian pathway and do not seem stop for stop light or cross walk.

Like the watertown Zhoujan.

Scholar gardens of Suzhou are a unique cultural treasure on a global scale. In some of the most popular, the crowds are excessive. Gardens desperately need money to be poured into maintenance and into horticulture as opposed to buildings and walls.
