Absolutely love visiting beautiful China. Your focus on the gardens & Suzhou are superb. My next visit will be Suzhou, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Guilin, Lijian & Fenghuang. I believe the real issue is that beautiful China is full of beauty both traditional & modern. 🇺🇸❤️🇨🇳

Love to go there again...amazing thing to see..beautiful.

Venice is Venice. Suzhou is Suzhou . Why does anyone always say Suzhou is the Venice of China! Venice is not Suzhou of Italy either. The history, beauty and uniqueness behind these two cities has their own identities.

[@finn_blacklaws]

Well, yes, your point is right but the reason they say it is The Venice of the East is because people from the Occident generally have no idea of China and Suzhou so saying it is Venice of the East, Orient or China gives them a idea what breed of destination it is. And plus, it both has canals even though they are vastly different.

Time to visit Suzhou again after 20 years! Exquisite...

我是苏州人，苏州有些小街里更有一些非常特别的园林，比如“桃园”，比如“五峰园”，“唐寅园”，“定园”，太多了，这些只有本地苏州人才知道的园林，常常是喝茶休闲的好去处。

Suzhou is older than Venice which makes Chinese Water Cities the oldest in the world.

[@AlmightyAaron0423]

Venice of the east? Sounds like New York is Manila of the west.

YEAH! Baby...:-)

[@metubeslave]

this graceless, charmless, unsophisticated interviewer is not at the height of the beauty and culture of the gardens..

[@expatchef]

Decent production, however it would’ve been better if an English speaking Chinese journalist delivered the content.

[@youmustbefibbing7376]

I know what you mean but I disagree. Sometimes Westerners seeing a Chinese reporter would automatically imply everyting said is propaganda.

[@expatchef]

I agree with you, she does a good job and attracts a larger audience. After watching quite a few mini documentaries today, I find it interesting how most of the narrators/journalists/commentators don’t seem to be locals.

[@shonnyNOR]

Nothing particularly wrong with Roisin, except she should learn to keep her hands more still. Her gesticulation didn't add much .
