This is your first time in Suzhou. Don't step on these pits!

🌸【Suzhou | May's Jiangnan is breathing】 Suzhou, a city with ink paintings crushed into its bones, borders Shanghai to the east, Zhejiang to the south, Taihu Lake to the west, and the Yangtze River to the north. The May wind carries the fragrance of plums, the peonies in the garden poke out of the wall, the bluestone slabs on Pingjiang Road are washed and shiny by the rain, and even the air is as sweet as a bowl of wine.
