One of the twin pagodas at Shuang Ta
On Friday I made a day trip to the city of Suzhou, about a half hour from Shanghai via high-speed train. The city has a long history as a desirable destination for both Chinese and foreign visitors alike, and is known for its silk production, temples, canals, and gardens. I visited the twin pagodas of Shuang Ta and Suzhou’s largest classical garden, known as The Humble Administrator’s Garden. Suzhou has plenty of charm, and is a perfect destination for anyone who enjoys Chinese gardens.
