I went back to Suzhou for a weekend recently and visited a few new places, mostly around Mudu (木渎) to the west of the city.

I’ve been to Suzhou so many times but this was the first time I made it to Taihu, one of China’s largest inland lakes.

And finally I visited Mudu old town. But sadly I got there too late to go in any of the attractions.
