BEWARE Suzhou Beauty's Street
by ooosh
Beautiful ladies (well-knowned) Along the famous Suzhou china town (Guan Jian Street), there's lots of tri-cycle drivers
asking tourist whether they wanna go Suzhou's famous Beauty Street (”ü?—ŠX).
They will say " Its FREE, just go have a look, if you dont like i can send you back here right a way".
Then he brings you to a streets full of karaokes, night clubs....lots of beauties waiting outside to welcome customers.
I tell the driver I just want a good massage, he then replied its very cheap....about RMB50
Before i step in the shop, i asked again to confirm how much i have to pay, they repeated RMB50 only.
At the end of the day, i ended up paying RMB2000 !
The cost include, room charge, girl charge, waitress charge, manager charge, girl's living cost
charge, and 1 bottle of OX (i drank tea, but the girl drank 1cup only).
So guys, beware of Suzhou next time u visit. Make sure the shop signboard written the word
'Massage' then only its really a massage center.

Sunset of Taihu

"Sunset om Lake Taihu - Suzhou"
Sunset is probably best view in peace with good friends and family.
How often did this happened in your life time?
A sunset in China all to myself (plus a few family members) was probably a once in a life time experience. Not very many places in China one can sit on the shoreline to watch a sunset without zillion of people around!
"Paradise in Heaven,Suzhou and Hangzhou on earth"
The natural scenery of hills and waters in Suzhou is as charming as a delicate beauty and the poetic and picturesque Suzhou gardens are a typical demonstration of simple elegance,with intriguing scenes found in every season and in all weathers
