Honestly, I Just Don't Get the Suzhou Haters.
-
Here are a few photos I took, making sure to avoid the crowds.
-
Lots of fun, loved it! It was raining when I went, which really set a great mood.
-
Never again! After visiting Suzhou once during the plum rain season, I've decided I'm only going if it's not raining.
-
Let me dig up a photo. Suzhou is stunning, okay! This boat looks like it's gliding on a sheet of emerald glass.
-
Absolutely gorgeous! The clear water is a testament to the Suzhou government's 'cash abilities,' hahaha!
-
So lovely! Honey, where were these photos taken? Which spots are they?
-
Thanks for the love, sweetie! In order, they are: Lingering Garden, Couple's Retreat Garden, Fei She (cafe), Couple's Retreat Garden again, Pingjiang Road, and the last three are from Tiger Hill.

It's stunning! I've visited once and already want to go back countless times. I'm currently writing a travel blog about Suzhou, hoping more international visitors can experience its charm too, hahaha!
-
That's fantastic! You see a lot of international visitors in Suzhou's gardens these days. With your promotion, its influence will definitely grow even more!

I absolutely love visiting Suzhou. I've struggled with depression for many years, and I find solace in looking at the old houses there. My most profound memory is from a time I felt I couldn't go on. I was wandering alone late at night through the old streets and alleys, sensing the deep passage of time emanating from the ancient buildings. In a flash, I had an epiphany: I was merely a speck of dust in the vast river of time. That realization helped me let go of so many obsessions. I am truly grateful to Suzhou for that.

Sweetie, I've had a very similar experience. Suzhou healed some deep wounds for me too. I hope things continue to look up for all of us.
