Ripped Off in Suzhou? Do Your Homework, People! 😭

[Lorena Runolfsson]

Hey everyone planning a trip to Suzhou, feel free to check out the guide I shared on my homepage!

[Miss Alison Collier]

I didn't get a good impression of Suzhou; I won't be coming back.

[Dr. Lance Glover]

Same here! From the moment I landed, it kept surprising me. I've traveled to so many cities, but Suzhou completely shocked me.

[Jo Douglas]

I got scammed as soon as I landed in Suzhou.

[Katrina Ziemann]

Got ripped off by an unscrupulous driver?

[Lindsey Jerde DDS]

Oh, sis.

[Dr. Danny Bayer]

Is it crowded on weekends now?

[Orlando Ryan]

I wouldn't recommend going on weekends; it gets really crowded.

[Johnathan Schmeler]

🥹️ Watch out! Ride-hailing services might take you the long way too! Everyone, make sure to spot it early and file a complaint!!!!

[Lorraine Rau]

The day before yesterday, we took a ride-hailing car and chatted with the driver the whole way. We found out some roads were restricted, and cars couldn't enter. After we told him where we wanted to go, he took a detour to get us there; otherwise, we'd have had a long walk. However, if your driver took the long way, they definitely should have communicated that.

Mung bean soup is 15 RMB here, but you can get it for 10 RMB outside. However, there's a place inside called 'Xie Dong Jia' where the staff are super friendly and the food is great.

[Susie Kutch-Green]

Which place is that?

[Mr. Philip Hudson]

Excuse me, does the Humble Administrator's Garden have luggage storage? I'm planning to visit in a couple of days.

[Beatrice Thiel]

You could look for nearby lockers in advance. Some local shops might also offer luggage storage, and the fees are generally acceptable.

There's a great city walk route in Suzhou from Tiger Hill to Shantang Street – it's scenic and not too crowded.

[Darren Sawayn]

I'm planning to walk the route from Tiger Hill to Shantang tomorrow. I saw someone mention recently that there might be construction along the way – is that still ongoing? Does it block the path? Roughly how long does the entire walk take? And is it best to use Gaode Maps (AMap) for navigation? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

The crab roe lion's head noodles were 78 RMB, and with a dessert, it came to 96 RMB in total.

[Israel Koss]

My crab roe noodles today cost 98.
