The Old Shantang Street is about 360 meters long but is only about 1 tenth of the entire street. Located not too far from Pan Pacific Suzhou and most other popular hotels and restaurants Old Shantang Street makes the perfect place for a night-time getaway.
Tonggui Bridge
Visible from most of the best hotels in Suzhou is the Tonggui Bridge which has eight different sides to it. The arch bridge is not only picturesque but a stunning architectural creation as the arch bridge is created from stone.
Yuhan Hall
If you love history you will enjoy visiting the Yuhan Hall which is the former residence of Wu Yipeng who was a famous figure from the Ming Dynasty. Learn a bit of history as you check out this ancestral home.
Antai Fire Fighting
