Favorite thing: This is a map of Tongli and you can find another one in the leaflet you get when you purchase the entry ticket which costs Y80. The ticket entitles you to entry into all of the attractions within the city except for the Sex Museum which costs an additional Y20. You can buy the ticket on the bus from Suzhou which actually saves you the cost of the bus fare plus you can then read up on the town along the way.
