Suzhou

Suzhou's Shangtang Street has a history of more than 1,500 years.

Suzhou is like two cities in one; its ancient elements contrast with a vibrant, modern cityscape. In the old part of the city, residential buildings and streets are built along the river, where visitors can explore the area's cultural heritage and appreciate the beauty of the city's folk arts.

Life in the modern areas of Suzhou, on the other hand, is an entirely different world. Busy traffic, themed bars, world-class restaurants, well-appointed office buildings and modern city facilities are all found in Suzhou. The rhythm of life in this area is much faster than in other parts of the city.
