After our great trip to Hangzhou, we decided to also check out nearby Suzhou, just 35 minutes away by train. (The train station being the only hectic part of getting out of town...Here, we're standing in line, waiting to board, along with the masses of people...it was Sardine City for about 30 minutes!) 
The center of Suzhou is the "old city", and the "new city" of highrise towers surrounds it. We spent our time in the old city, where all the gardens are. However, we were both so exhausted from being up late the night before and going to the top of the Shanghai World Financial Center, that we only had the energy to visit the North Temple Pagoda
and the Humble Administrator's Garden, which is probably the most beautiful garden we've seen in China...

And a few photos from the Humble Garden...
This photo from Suzhou of the setting sun is a perfect depiction of what we've seen during this visit to China....
How lovely. Thank you for sharing.
