Tongli instead of Souzhou

by carlos40

Hi, in October I want to go by night train from Beijing to Souzhou and than take a morning bus to Tongli, where I want to stay 2 or max. 3 nights. I expect Tongli to be a little bit smaller than Souzhou, which I would prefer, because after Tongli I will continue to Shanghai. Is Souzhou a must? I have already seen gardens in Beijing and I'm not such a garden fan. I would prefer to see a typical water town with all the little bridges and waterways. If I stay for 3 nights I even could do a daytrip back to Souzhou but concerning my interests a daytrip to Xitang would be maybe better. Or does Souzhou offer better views of a typical water town (brideges, canals) than Tongli and Xitang?.

I think 1 night in Tongli would be fine. 2 nights would be a bit overkill unless you're there to visit friends or for maybe photography.
Gardens in Beijing are "imperial" and different in style from the "private" gardens of Suzhou and Tongli. There's a good example of a garden in Tongli (included in the admission fee) so if you're not too keen on gardens you could skip those in Suzhou. However Suzhou has other worthwhile sights such as Tiger Hill, Suzhou Museum and Coiled Gate, which you should consider if you have time.
Suzhou is no longer a water village but a city. If you want good photography scenes then Tongli and Xitang would be better.

Travel Tips for Suzhou

SUZHOU: HU QUI

by xuessium

Suzhou and its labyrinth of elaborate gardens is a popular getaway from Shanghai, easily connected by trains.

Hu Qui or Tiger Hill is technically not a garden. It actually houses a tomb of one of China's earliest kings (a king for the state of Wu) from the period of the warring Spring & Autumn Era, before China was even unified into one country, almost 2500 years ago, even pre-dating the famous Qin Terracotas in Xi An.

The pagoda on the hillet is so old that it is in danger of collapsing so there is no way you could get into it. Join the crowd circling around it.

Another famous point in the place is the Sword Burial Pool, supposedly the burial place of the king's mighty collection of swords.

Make your way through the many paths, and simply enjoy the greenery even if you are not big on history. If you are lucky, you may just get to see large white cranes swooping and nesting among the trees - really majestic creatures!

Admission fee is 25RMB (circa 2002).

This tower of Han Shan Si has four levels and the top of this tower are made of pure gold. .
If you are in need of some cash, climb up to the top.

The temple in the olden days were built with donations from the commoners.
