6/26.- Suzhou, Humble Administrator's Garden

Because Suzhou is only 50 miles from Shanghai, it is relatively easy to get to. Most Shanghai tour companies (and, thus, hotels) offer a one-day trip to see Suzhou's highlights. It is also very feasible to take the train on your own. The train takes only an hour, though because the Shanghai train station can be a bit chaotic and there aren't that many English speakers, it can be a little
challenging. One good option (and what I did) is to take the train to Suzhou, stay overnight, and then continue on to Nanjing, another city worth seeing and only a little over two hours by rail from Suzhou.
