Suzhou: Better Think Thrice.
-
Exactly! That's the spirit! My heart aches for my 80 yuan all over again.
-
Are two days enough for Suzhou? I'm planning to spend two days in Nanjing first.
-
Two days in Nanjing is good; the Nanjing Massacre Memorial Hall and Niushou Mountain are worth visiting. As for Suzhou, one day is enough. If it were me, I'd do a garden in the morning, a museum in the afternoon, and enjoy Pipa Pingtan (storytelling with Pipa music) in the evening.

A pastry shop on Pingjiang Road was selling six small pieces of osmanthus cake for 40 yuan...
-
That's totally outrageous, treating tourists like easy money! Maybe these are a rare treat for people from northern China, but for us southerners, they're just ordinary pastries.
-
Any good food recommendations, sis?
-
That one's pretty good; every guide seems to recommend it. I forgot the name, something like '... Yuan,' I think. Yaba Shengjian (pan-fried pork buns) is also worth trying. Other crab roe noodle places are decent too.
-
We're planning to visit around the 23rd of this month. Will it still be very crowded?
-
Haha, incredibly crowded.
-
May I ask how you got around to the sights? I'm wondering if I should rent an electric scooter.
-
Walking and the subway, haha! Traffic is really congested, so I find walking much more convenient.
