The Suzhou Museum is a blend between modern design and the past history of Suzhou. The building itself is Instagram/facebook photo worthy. The Museum is not that big but is worth your 1-2 hours.

We came here at night and it was beautifully lit up. There were quite a few majestic and tall buildings brightly lit up with neon and led lights. We were hoping to catch the musical fountain show but alas, it was cancelled due to maintenance. Supposed to be held on Friday nights, holidays and festivals. Nevertheless, it was relaxing just to sit around and enjoy the cool breeze and night lights beside the lake. Lots of people, especially youngsters were milling around. Very relaxing place. Suggest you bring some drinks and snacks while you relax and enjoy the views. Very near the metro station.

Came during the Labor Day holidays. Started in early afternoon and the crowd was bearable. People continued to stream in and by late afternoon, the place was packed. Interesting place with shops lined up along the canal. There are plenty of food and beverage options. Souvenirs shops are also in abundance. For entertainment, there are tea houses with talk show in local language. There are quaint alleys that are good for photo ops. Certainly worth a visit when you visit Suzhou.

Came to Moon Harbor by chance when we walked around the hotel. Nice area which was clean and large. The Jinji Lake is very pretty. Not hot in August too when we came to view the sunset. Took tons of photos here. So beautiful!

Great shopping streets with both local and international brands. There is also a medium size temple somewhere along this street also worth visiting. Another street runs parallel to this goes by the name of Tai Jian Nong - which translates literally to eunuch alley. This is aa food street which has restaurants, small eateries and street food. A good complement to the shopping street. Could easily spend more than half a day here.
10. Ligong Dam
