Still looking.

@职业帅哥 Take a look.

Lu Zhishen's masterpiece.

Suzhou is great! It's just that the weather was bad, so I couldn't explore much. I'll have to come back another time!

But you know, many of the things you mentioned from the past are still around; they haven't vanished. During the day, if you go boating near the Broken Bridge, you'll still see seniors engaging in friendly kite-flying 'battles.' Stroll along the canal in the evening, and you'll find elderly men playing the saxophone, and 'square dancing aunties' are a common sight. And those nighttime street food stalls in various spots? They haven't diminished at all.

You're unlikely to find many (if any) of those 'perfectly put-together urban ladies' on the Shanghai subway between 8 and 9 AM.

I went with a tour group, so I didn't take the bus.

Could you tell me, what places are comparable to Tiananmen Square? Or the Forbidden City? Or Xinhua Gate? Or Weiming Lake and Boya Pagoda?

And yet, during holidays, Shanghai consistently ranks first in the country for tourist numbers, and not just by a few hundred thousand more, but significantly so. Why is that? If it's not your cup of tea, then don't come. But if you do, you're welcome!
