Stroll down Huashan Road in Suzhou, where cobblestone paths weave through a living tapestry of ancient charm and modern energy! Flanked by well-preserved traditional houses, the air sometimes carries the melodic Pingtan opera from teahouses, transporting you to old Suzhou. Come at golden hour when sunlight gilds the whitewashed walls and black-tiled roofs—every corner looks like an ink-wash painting. Peek into hidden artisan workshops for exquisite silk embroidery or sandalwood fans, the perfect cultured souvenir from your journey.
