Thanks for watching!

Tiger Hill is a bit far from where all the traditional gardens and the center of the city. But you may take a boat ride from Tiger Hill to ShangTang Street (山塘街). The ride is very beautiful.
In addition to what people have already suggested, you should consider visiting 网师园 at night, where 6 forms of traditional local music are performed (sampled). It’s a very unique experience, even for Chinese people from other regions.
SuZhou is famous for well maintained traditional and historical family gardens where famous Chinese writers, poets, interlectures, and retired government officials…had lived comfortably and created long lasting arts and literatures.
You guys are the most well travelled westerners in China, looks like you are going to cover 100 cities 😅, great job and thanks for sharing your experiences.👍😂 I wish you will visit Harbin, Dandong (a city opposite North Korea), Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang in the future.
You guys need to see the old Suzhou town as well as the modern city centre.
Although China has a large population, it is very orderly, with everything well-organized. It is so neat, clean, and beautiful, unlike many countries in the world where a large population leads to chaos. This includes the United States, which often faces many crimes and issues with homelessness. The subway system in the U.S. is often described as dirty and disorganized, a point frequently mentioned by Americans.
In China, some areas retain the architectural features of the previous time, but you can look in the cities, it's all brand new buildings.
Love watching your travel videos! Luke and Naomi! 👍👍👍🤟🤟🤟✌✌✌
Oh lovely Suzhou. My son will start Uni next year there. He loved China when we lived there and wants to go back so badly. 🥰
欢迎回来
@@DavidHao-yo2zu 谢谢 😊
Love you guys! Have a wonderful trip in China!!😆
The handheld translator is amazingly good. Translation quality is excellent.
Tomorrow I'll go to Suzhou toooo! Have a gooood trip ! 😁
Welcome to Suzhou, my hometown which is one of the most beautiful cities in China
❤️❤️❤️❤️
I live in Suzhou and if you want to travel through some modern buildings I recommend you to go to the industrial park, the place you are going to is the old city, where the buildings cannot be built high, so if you want to go to a more modern and convenient place, I recommend you to come to the industrial park, which will make you satisfy.
Foreigners are often confused, yes, the first class is a bit more spacious than the second class, but the business class is the best on high-speed trains, you can really lie down and sleep, only a few seats per carriage,If the city has a subway, it is recommended to choose a hotel near the subway station to stay, so you will save a lot of time
not just foreigners, it can be confusing for locals too who aren't used to it. it's a bit different for train classes. a better naming system in English should be "Executive", "Class 1", "Class 2". since hotel "executive floors" aren't called "business class", but they're the same in Chinese.
Glad to see your video again. The location of your hotel may not be hustling and busting as other part of the city. Hopefully you can search on the internet to look for some local scenery and museums in Suzhou.
Absolutely ❤️
❤❤❤ from Malaysia again
Wow, you are in Suzhou now! Please Wuxi, just about 15 mins by express train from Suzhou. Another interesting city.
finally seeing you guys in suzhou. i highly recommend suzhou museum, which was designed by the late great architect IM Pei
welcome to my hometown. Yes, you are not in the area showing the typical Suzhou. You should go to the city center Where the old city is located. You can go to Suzhou industrial park in the east area. It is called industrial park but it is actually the most modern area.
I have heard Suzhou is a very pretty place, looking forward to learn more about it!
In China, we can say that ""Above, there is heaven; below, there are Suzhou and Hangzhou.""
Let's go to Harbin next stop. Northeast China is cheap and delicious, but the taste is quite strong. The rice is also delicious
There is the paradise up in heaven, there are Suzhou Hangzhou down on earth.
Pingjiang Road is an interesting place to visit. Great sharing. More foreigners should visit China.
I highly recommend you two to come to Tibet for a visit(not just Lahsa but also other natural scenic spots),though you may need some extra preparations like a special permission and a guide.I take a self-driving road trip around the Ali region(a district of Tibet) during this national day holiday.The natural scenery is so stunning and breathtaking,and you will hardly see "people mountain people sea" in these places.I can say that most of the time,you just park your car along the road,and you can enjoy the heavenly nature exclusively without being disturbed by others.
别推荐了,说真的,西藏和新疆只有自驾游才能体现那两个地方真正的美
You guys can spend half day visiting Humble Administrator's Garden, Suzhou Museum & Prince Zhong’s mansion (the mansion is connected to Suzhou Museum and free for visitors if I remembered correctly). In the afternoon, take a walk at Shantangjie or Ping Jiang Road to feel the epitome of ancient Suzhou. The food in this video is more like szechuan food. Make sure to try some authentic local food! Authentic Morning Noodles at local noodle restaurants for breakfast.
The man in the restaurant was listing different styles of Chinese cuisine to you to prove the abundance of Chinese food.
Thank you for being my eyes!
From a Chinese guy who has never been to Suzhou 😂😂😂😂
去过一次,那里街上特别香,桂花香
@@DavidHao-yo2zu 国庆后正是桂花慢慢都开了,现在已经能闻到桂花香了
Wow, you chose a Sichuan restaurant in Su Zhou :-) Hope you will have more local food!
You two have become such a pair of seasoned travelers in China, don’t even bother to show the niceties and views of the high speed rail train ride. It’s like, ya, of course it is good, don’t you know? 😀😎🤪😜
You two have to visit Suzhou Museum , designed by world renown architect I.M. Pei . The museum itself is an art piece with excellent collections.
必须吃大闸蟹,去周庄,虎丘,拙政园/网师园/狮子林,金鸡湖。。。。。独墅湖看落日也不错
Suzhou gardens really live up to their reputation.❤
Very nice place
You should also try the fresh water crabs, a local speciality!
Suggest you visit Suzhou Garden Museum. Also visit the top 4 Classical gardens in Suzhou: Zhuo zheng Garden, Liu Garden, Wanshi Garden and Huanxiu Villa in Suzhou, they are included in the World Cultural Heritage List.
if you are taking a short distance high speed rail like from suzhou/hangzhou to shanghai, try business class once. the price difference isn't that much for short distance travel so you can get the experience for cheap. you get use of the business lounge and all the queue skipping 😆
you guys are just in the suburbs. personally I like to say a bit away from the center myself as long as there's a metro stop nearby. things are cheaper and more authentic plus it's a nice quiet retreat after a long day sightseeing in busy tourist areas.
Welcome to Suzhou. Hotel maybe think near "Beisi Pagoda" or "Humble Administrator's Garden", lots good food and scenery, also close to the subway station, convenient travel😊
Thank you ☺️ ❤️
Thx for sharing
Now that you are in Suzhou,you should try the delicious crab roe noodles.
It happened your hotel is located in the suburbs of suzhou where there are some industries and residential areas. suzhou is seeing as Oriental Venice. Cuz old part of the city has cannals running round and a lot of waterfront shops there.
The night view at the riverside of Suzhou's "Gate to the East" building or some called it The Pants building is quite beautiful. Was there in 2018, my 4th trip to China and am looking forward to my 6th trip to Zhangjiajie in a week's time.
In order to protect the ancient city, Suzhou City limits the height of buildings.Only in the relatively peripheral new urban areas are there modern high-rise buildings.
Yangzhou City also implements the same policy. It is also a beautiful city and a capital of gourmet food. Hope you may visit it.
I love the videos you guys do you go to the places other people don't show the stuff I've never seen🎉 just curious I'm German Bavarian German to be specific. What part of Germany are you from?
shantang street, Chaozong Pavilion, Panmen Scenic Area, Lingering Garden.. suzhou is not as built up as other cities. mostly old style historical buildings.
Suzhou Station. The engineering is amazing. Look at that roof span.
the restaurant around college will always satisfy you, you can try
It has been a pleasure watching your videos. It looks like you have been exploring south part of the China, except Beijing. As a Chinese from the North, I invite you to come visit north and central part of the China. It has different landscape, food and culture.
Thank you so much ☺️
Guess you will visit some famous Suzhou Gardens. There is a small Suzhou style garden in St Anne's park in Dublin.
Suzhou is a beautiful city. There's a saying in Chinese "上有天堂,下有苏杭", means there's heaven in the sky and there're Suzhou & Hangzhou on ground. Hope you guys enjoy your trip in Suzhou!
欢迎来到苏州,我生活的城市
蘇州的食物偏甜 非常有當地特色 尤其是蘇州的麵 建議去嘗試一些傳統饭店
Recommend you guys visiting Taihu(lake).
Dongshan or Xishan are the best places for visiting Taihu.
Loved your shiba inu tee!😍
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I found a very interesting thing. Every time you go to a new place, you will always find Sichuan food for your first meal. This was also the case last time in Shandong. Maybe the destination of your first trip is Chengdu, this is fate.It's a pity that you didn't taste authentic Sichuan food in Chengdu. In fact, many Sichuan dishes are not spicy.
I saw you guys from the Chinese version of "TikTok", so I signed up for youtube. In addition, I am from Chengdu, and I am glad that you like Chengdu
第一☝️!🎉🎉
哇,全国都走遍了 建议你们去西藏旅游,西藏属于世界屋脊高寒缺氧 地广人稀 跟旅行团才有保障 外国人只能跟旅行团
Suzhou doesn’t look like a ‘developed city’ coz there aren’t too many high-rise building gatherings. However it’s one of the richest city in China. It’s one of China’s most important manufacturing centres ( another ones are Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen), it’s also the largest river based harbour on this earth, as well as a cultural landmark in China.
加油💪
旁边的城市,无锡,可以去鼋头渚,灵山大佛,拈花湾!
As a person from Chengdu I visited Suzhou when I was about six I couldn't remind many details of traveling there now and lost most photos taken at that time, I've become an adult and I really wanna go there one more time and enjoy the city in full as well as take more images to save in network disk.
Suzhou cuisine is sweet. You need to try it.
😂😂你住到郊区了
Oh my, you guys seem to have chosen a wrong hotel location, which seems so suburban and remote 😅 it would be much better and convenient if you choose the downtown area, but anyway, you will go to visit downtown later I believe. Have a nice time in Suzhou!
Give the restaurant owner the translator - when you finish the food, he will give back you a book.
You are on the outskirts of Suzhou close to Tiger Hill. It's surrounded by factories and farmland.
The old town has a height restriction so to protect the view from inside the ancient gardens. Buildings are not allowed to be built taller than 6 floors. The old city is probably the most protected old cities in China.
If you want to see the tier 1 part, you should go to SIP, to the east of the old city.
@TwoMadExplorers, Suzhou has some splendid gardens, like the Humble Administrator's Garden. I did the opposite of what you did, that is I visited Suzhou first followed by Hangzhou. I found Suzhou rather mundane, but I took to Hangzhou immediately. West Lake (and its surrounds) in Hangzhou makes all the difference. Suzhou is not in the same league as Hangzhou (which in addition to being high-tech, has natural beauty).
i live in suzhou. we used having meals in suzhou center mall where u could have lots choices. maybe u could try.
很逗的家伙😂从一个州到了另一个州~开始你的发现之旅吧
欢迎来到苏州
虎丘区距离市中心还有一段距离,应该算是郊区,不是很发达,所以很多建设还比较原始,如果你们到了姑苏区那又是另一番景象
苏州绝对称得上是一线城市,南京是江苏的省会,但是人们习惯性地开玩笑说江苏的省会是苏州,因为苏州的GDP很高
You are outskirts or suburbs of Suzhou. Not the downtown more foreign. Hotel is much cheaper than downtown areas.
哇,终于赶上新鲜的了,C 仔快翻我的牌🎉🎉!
他们摸到了苏州,然后找到了一家川菜苍蝇馆子😂😂。
I like station train beautiful
Chinese said:
In heaven there is paradise, on earth there are Suzhou and Hangzhou.
China is definitely very futuristic thanks to the hardworking people there. And yet western countries are so proud & doesn't admit defeat!
Suzhou government has done a fantastic job on preserving historic part of Suzhou, while most other Chinese cities tear down old town center replacing with modern buildings, this is kind of sad for many people as history only remains in their memory. By the way, Suzhou is actually one of top 10 richest city in China. Suzhou has three parts, SID- Singapore Industrial District with a lot modern buildings, Suzhou downtown, historical old building get preserved, and SND- Suzhou New District which is new district for future development. 😂
Suggestion: never choose a restaurant with no customer eating inside😁
Thank you
I do think IFly translator did a good job,but it still would make mistakes,'simple' in Chinese sometimes means 'pure' or 'clean', not only for ‘tasteless’
So the man then try to explain European food just has it own flavour
Hello from Saigon VietNam❤
Suzhou is one of most beautiful cities in China. There is saying that there is heaven above and there are Suzhou and Hangzhou down. Suzhou is also the richest non provincial capital city and its GDP is only behind Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. It is number one in Jiangsu province and it is richer than most provincial capital cities. It is known for the Suzhou Industrial Park, it is one of the largest economies in China and considered to be one of the most pleasant and live-able cities.
suzhou is a beautiful city
Suzhou old town is world cultural heritage.The building must below 6 floors. The industrial park is more than 300 companies of Fortune 500 companies,very modern. Suzhou food, the first is Squirrel mandarin fish.
Dude, y’ve gotta go to old town, and check out lakefront areas, and go to ZhouZhuang or TongLi and those small towns with canals
That’s the plan ❤️
Looks like an industrial area of Suchow
Yes, looks like an industrial park to me too!🤔
Suzhou is a very beautiful city, your location is rather far from the town. I think you will enjoy your stay there. It's said "上有天堂,下有苏杭!("Just as there is paradise in heaven, ther are Suzhou and Hangzhou on earth.")
Thank you 👏🏼👏🏼
Suzhou has developed modern industries, but also has rich historical and cultural heritage and has preserved or restored many ancient city areas. Therefore, it looks like half modern city and half ancient city
My favorite city In China. Having a Goood one!😀
14:54 The boss said: Even if it's a bit boring, you have to eat it. Suzhou cuisine is also famous in the world, with many varieties and many types of dishes. China has eight major cuisines and four major flavors. Among them, Suzhou cuisine is divided into official cuisine, family cuisine, Tan cuisine, etc. There are many styles of dishes.
My additional explanation: The eight major cuisines generally refer to: Shandong cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, Hunan cuisine, Jiangsu cuisine (including Suzhou cuisine), Zhejiang cuisine, Anhui cuisine, Guangdong cuisine and Fujian cuisine. The provinces with the four major flavors are: Shandong, Sichuan, Guangdong and Huaiyang.
I thought after visiting Hangzhou, you might have turned to Mount Huangshan (just a few hours car journey from Hangzhou).
Mount Huangshan is a world cultural and natural heritage, a world geopark, a national AAAAA tourist attraction, a national scenic spot, and a demonstration site of a national civilized scenic spot. There you will understand more the aesthetic view and comportment of traditional Chinese paintings.
Sorry that you seemed not to have a very good first impression of Suzhou. In my impression, Suzhou has much to offer, especially traditional Chinese gardens.
I thought it's better to go into a restaurant that is not empty. 😄
China is beautiful both in terms of culture and natural scenery.
Suzhou tops the GDP list in jiangsu province. Recommend to visit suzhou development zone.
Compared with Shanghai, the scooters and traffic in Suzhou are a little bit more chaotic, but other than that, Suzhou is a very beautiful city.
I love SuZhou I live SuZhou 20 years
去苏州一定要参观一下苏州的园林
Um, Two Mad Explorers could you go to zhejiang province after you finish going to suzhou because zhejiang is close to Changle, Fuzhou in Fujian Province where my dad was born.
Maybe the next 'Zhou' could be Fuzhou and then Xiamen (namely Taiwan strait). Alternatively, you could visit Shangrao in Jiangxi province.
My girlfriend and I are going to Suzhou next week.
Have a wonderful trip in China!!
😂😂😂so interesting .this men i was introducing all kinds of food in China
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Well since you already there, you might want to check out the nearest park to your current location : Suzhou Huqiu Wetland Park .
And also I want to point out: you are not really in Suzhou yet. At least from a local point of view, that place you staying is outskirt of suzhou.
我发现女主播每在中国呆一段时间面色和皮肤都特别好😊
