[Vnbiz] What should I do in Suzhou?

[Viet Tran]

Thanks anh Hong Phong,

I have really enjoyed Suzhou :-). I have come to Tiger Hill, have had dinner
at a 300 years old restaurant, have dunk tea and listened to Suzhou
traditional song/music, have felt the cold of the JinJi Lake, have prayed at
HanShansu, have talked to a Suzhou beautiful girl at 2AM about the
differences between Vietnam/Vietnamese and China/Chinese :-P, have visited
to some nice gardens, and have some good local friends...

Suzhou is nice, and I love the way the city government maintains its
cultural values while keep developing quite well in economy...

Currently I am at Shanghai. I personally prefer Suzhou than Shanghai.
Shanghais look like another country inside China.

Tomorrow, I will back to Vietnam...

Thank you very much for helping me...

Best Regards,
Viet
