Suzhou China

    From Shanghai we traveled by bus 90 minutes northwest to the ancient city of Suzhou population about 4 million.  It was established in 514 BC and this pic shows all that is left of a wall built around the original city. Suzhou has over 2,500 years of rich history, and relics of the past are abundant to this day. The city's canals, stone bridges, pagodas and gardens make it a popular attraction to tourists. The silk industry has been strong here for a thousand years.
