Suzhou, China

Doesnt this look exactly like you're in Japan? I couldnt help it but take a picture of another side of the beautiful ancient city of Suzhou, when i visited China.

Suzhou, also referred to eastern version of Venice because of its historic canals. This is one the most prosperous cities in China and you can tell the difference once you step in the city. Even when it came to our meals, our food was soaked in oil and extremely salty as in the olden days, it was a sign that one has money to afford oil and salt.My sister on one of the many stone bridges that the city is renowned for..
Me on the historic Xuanmiao temple, built in AD276, and it was freezing! Amazing how a structure is still standing tall after all these years.
