a week in Suzhou & Tongli Ancient Town | our favourite city in China!

a week spent exploring Tongli Ancient Town & the city of Suzhou, China 🇨🇳 we really weren’t sure what to expect from Suzhou but upon reflection it was probably our favourite city in all of our China travels! The two nights we spent in Tongli were literally magical and we would recommend staying there to anybody we also really enjoyed exploring Suzhou itself, wandering down the canals, exploring parks, malls and rooftop bars, and the Tiger Hill area which was definitely our highlight !! I mention this at the end of this vlog, but thank you thank you for (more than!!) 100 subscribers on here !!! I really was not expecting so many people to watch my little vlogs, which primarily are being made so that my lovely 80 year old nan can be a part of our trip 🥹 but the fact these videos are appealing to a wider audience too is really exciting and I’m very grateful to have you following along 💕 see you next week for our Shanghai vlog !!
