Suzhou

2 days

In between our days in Beijing and Shanghai we opted for a little getaway to leave the hustle and bustle of cities to Suzhou. What we thought would be a small water town turns out to be a city with almost 6 million inhabitants.

We add a daytrip to the beautiful water town of Zhouzhuang. Like elsewhere in China, this ancient water town has been transformed into a tourist attraction. Dozens of vendors sit in the stalls, waiting for the day to end. Many pass the time by watching the latest TikTok videos. They don't even bat an eye at tourists anymore. Others, however, take advantage of the lack of competition to loudly announce what they're selling. We can't understand a word anyway.
