Suzhou's So Pretty, But Honestly? The Commercial Overload Was a Total Letdown 💔

We've all escaped to the mountains in Zhejiang instead.

This is awesome!

I went to Suzhou yesterday, and I have to say, it's so much better than Hangzhou!
-
How's the scenery there recently? I'm planning to visit after the 10th day of the Lunar New Year.

It's a catch-22, really. If it's not commercialized, it won't attract people. No people means no money, and no money means no maintenance.
-
Suzhou needs to learn from Japan on how to blend commerce with tradition. In China, many attempts at such integration end up feeling very disjointed.

It's truly beautiful.

Where is this?

Even though I'm a Suzhou local, I can't find much fault with what you're saying; I mostly agree.

Suzhou was more fun back in my childhood, during the 80s and 90s. It really had that authentic 'Old Suzhou' charm.
