Come to Changshu for the May Day holiday, no need to be amidst a sea of people

As the holiday approaches, the less certain I am about the destination for May Day, especially afraid of encountering congestion. Changshu, 100km away from Shanghai, caught my attention because of a friend's mention of 'Su Lake is ripe, the world is sufficient' which made me decide to come here. In fact, the real reason for the name Changshu is 'the soil is fertile and there are no disasters of drought or flood throughout the year', which has nothing to do with that 'ripe'. But this small city, leaning against Yu Mountain, with Qinchuan River running through it, and bordering the Yangtze River, still managed to amaze me. Changshu is the birthplace of Wu culture, silently witnessing from the relics of Zhong Yong and Zhou Zhang at the foot of Yu Mountain from the Zhou dynasty, the tomb of Yan Yen, one of the seventy-two disciples of Confucius from the Spring and Autumn period, to the tomb of Qian Qianyi, a figure from the Ming and Qing dynasties; from the Yan Garden, which evolved with the city from the Tang and Song dynasties to the Qing dynasty, to the (Song) Fang Tower that stands tall in the southeast of the ancient city. Qinchuan River adds many charming places to the old city, including a canal called 'Six-String River', which perfectly complements Qinchuan. Reluctant to leave, I stayed in Changshu for one night. What kind of surprise will today unveil?
