This is a trip not to be missed if you have time in Shanghai. Sunny picked us up at the hotel and explained the day to us. While in Suzhou we went to the Humbel gardens and visited a silk making factory. the gardens were very special because not only was it picturesque but it was snowing while we visited. everyone had big smiles because of the snow falling . the silk factory explained the history of silk making and all the stages on how silk is made. We ate lunch in a mall and we were the only westerners there. Sunny ordered for us and we enjoyed the flavors of the region. Tongli was another experience by walking along the canals and crossing the 3 bridges.(which are to lengthen a person's life) we also saw diving birds used to catch fish just like the reading of many books about the area. Sunny and the driver did everything they could so we enjoy a memorable day before we left Shanghai
