Something happened on the morning of our train to Suzhou, which led to us to reschedule it twice and eventually convert to a standing ticket for the 14:45 train. Now that I have piqued your curiosity, I’m not gonna say what happened, apart from, we had a skirmish with law enforcers. It was eventually resolved (as a result of which, I am still alive today), but our late start on the trip meant that we missed our booking to visit Suzhou Museum.
It was a real pity because Suzhou Museum is very popular amongst locals throughout the country, and the city itself is one of the top tourist attractions in China. Suzhou’s canals, gardens and pagodas have earned it its nickname of Venice of the East. They look nothing alike, but you get the idea (or not).
