With a history of more than 2500 years and a cityscape that is littered with tons of pagodas, classical gardens and canals, Suzhou is one of the most popular tourist destinations in China.

It is also the closest major city to Shanghai being located just 90 km (55 mi) west of China’s largest city, from which you can reach Suzhou in just 25 minutes by highspeed train.

As of 2011 the city has around 2.5 million inhabitants and 6.5 million in its metropolitan area.

Yes, lots of Pagoda's.

Great pics, China has such a diversity of environments. It seems like it would take forever to tour the country. I do like the older cities a bit more than the new stuff they are putting up.

[ColDayMan]

Very comfortable!

Not to be confused with Suzhou, Anhui, of course !!!

That town is known as the Chinese "Venice".
