Today part of the group went to Suzhou. It is an hour from Shanghai, the trip there was by train while the trip back by bus. This area has several gardens most are private and a series of canals linking the town. Our morning started with a boat ride along the Perfume River. This part of town is older without plumbing and sporadic electricity although many people prize living along the canals. Although it is a smaller city by China standards, with the amount of industry and high rises dwarfs the San Diego area
The garden was small comprised of many buildings and space outside the buildings was limited and consisted of several pools and rock garden structures. It was not the premiere garden of the area and I suspect we did not see that garden because of the time it would take to explore with 30 people and various interests. The weather today was beautiful, no rain and lots of sun. Tomorrow we head out by ourselves to go to Disney Shanghai of course it is supposed to rain
