The museum you go away in half an hour. I have a card of the Factory.
The commercial street with stores and restaurants is Sichuan Jie, near the Inn. Remin is greater but it does not have many sites to eat, stores, etc. Is more for banks…
Transport: From Suzhou to Hangzhou there are buses that leave frequently. 2 hours take they leave and you in the North station of Hangzhou. From this station to the center they are 45 CYN, since it is far.
In Suzhou there are two bus-stations. The North station that is very well organized and can buy ticket ácilmente, is people who know English. They have service of sale of the different companies centralized in a great mostador, reason why he is comfortable.
To sleep: The inn of youth is moderately well, does not have outer patio, is all interior. It has Internet.
To eat: Plate of bittersweet fish: Squirrel mandarin fish. They take half an hour in making the fish, always ask that the client is expected taking a beer, while the fish prepares itself. It is very good, has few thorns.
There is a restaurant to that the premises go and of the best quality in the c Shiquan Jie (that is the commercial street of this city). It has a great letter in English.
