I found the COOLEST city in China! 苏州市

Get MY BOOK 'I lived in Shanghai' on Amazon! amzn.to/3pLoeQ4 If you're wondering where to go in China or looking for a place for a day trip from Shanghai, Suzhou is definitely the place!
Located only a short 25- minute fast train ride from Shanghai, Suzhou is definitely one of my favourite cities in China! Also known as the Venice of the East, Suzhou is one of the oldest cities in China and one of the most popular tourist destination in the country. The city has so much to offer, from beautiful historical district, canals, traditional Chinese gardens, temples and pagodas. It's also known for its silk production and fresh water pearls farms!
In this vlog I explored the silk factory, we experienced the traditional Chinese tea tasting ceremony, had a meal at an amazing restaurant overlooking the lake and Suzhou's skyline and walked around the famous Pingjiang street. Suzhou is definitely a must when visiting China!!
If you have any questions feel free to let me know!

    I spent the last two weeks nearby in Hangzhou. I already came home to Europe, but I loved Hangzhou and definitely loved China. Next year I want to go back and see more of it.

    Suzhou definitely looks beautiful, a throwback to the old China! Like Hangzhou? The jacket looks great on you! But what about the qipao? That looks cool and fits you well! Should have bought that too, if you hadn't haha. Next time try the traditional Chinese hanfu and see how it fits you. Personally, once you are in a hanfu, you automatically look graceful for a woman. Not too practical but, the traditional Chinese dress looks like none others and I personally love how it looks.

    My favorite is Shenzhen :) Summer 9 months a year, 30 minutes from Guangzhou, 90 minutes from HK, Foshan, Macao is near, even Guilin can be available by train... But the nature... Shenzhen has very interesting nature, which we in EU miss. Shanghai seemed to me very interesting, beautiful, but a bit grey with few nature, but Shenzhen is city of nature and also fastest developing city in China that finishes another new skyline this year. I must admit, that I had a depression in SH and Guangzhou, just for the first night, but... In Shenzhen I felt good from the very begining. In SH a lot of people try to turnover your money... In Guangzhou is public transport totally collapsing in evenings... These problems I couldn´t see in Shenzhen.
