CBT 2016 Diary - May 23rd

We follow our tour guide in Suzhou, our last stop in China, this "little" town of 10 million habitants.

Our day starts with a small walk in the Master of the Net garden, a lot more modest compared to the one in Shanghai. Men used to welcome important guests in the main room while women smoked opium in the back to relieve the pain of there small wrapped feet. The place is beautiful, so much that we cannot help but take lots of pictures.

We get lunch in a little restaurant near the river and spend our afternoon in the pedestrian street of Guanqian, a busy street where young people of Suzhou like to hang out. We take this opportunity to buy some sweet treats and drinks like milk black tea with tapioca bubbles, mostly known as Bubble Tea.

Our day ends on the riverside, where we enjoy the view of the sunset.
