Suzhou

Suzhou is a middling size town (about the population of NZ) famous for its gardens. It is also apparently known for the beauty of its ladies. I must look particularly susceptible as I have been approached by 6 different gentlemen offering the massage services of (presumably) their lady friends.

Apart from that, I've had a wander and it looks very pleasant. I've been plotting my next journeys and, sadly, this means I may not see as much of Suzhou as I'd like at this stage. I may come back for a day trip from Shanghai - it isn't far at all. But I think I shall try to stick with my earlier plans no matter the logistical complications. I'm sure you'd want that.
