China Tour - Su Zhou

Our first stop at Su Zhou was to visit the Su Zhou Industrial Park. Singapore had a share in this industrial park. Circling around the area and looking at the condo’s built along the streets, we were told that these flats cost a lot!
We stopped over at the nearby Su Zhou Park, where we took a lot of photos.



Like I mentioned, gong an everywhere


A very nice park with great scenery.








Was told the entertainment for the local folks are mostly visiting the parks..

Tying their wishes on the branches…






Listening to the bells, it is so peaceful at this temple


Weird bonsai


These stone sculpture holds history behind them telling the stories of this beautiful temple. There is a poem, I believed most people should have heard of…
張繼《楓橋夜泊》詩
月落烏啼霜滿天，江楓漁火對愁眠，姑蘇城外寒山寺，夜半鐘聲到客船.





Suzhou history carries through from Tang Dynasty to Qing Dynasty. Where the 太平天國 was actively involved in this place. So if you are interested in History, this is definitely one place not to be missed.

We ended the day shopping at their local city area. It wasnt as glam as Shanghai. Mostly local brands to the locals.
