Suzhou is famed for its criss-crossing canals and lakes run though the city. Creating calm and beautiful sceneries. There are also many shops or market lay along waterways which makes it even more exciting to visit. While Ping Jiang road is the most popular canal side street of the city, instead we did explore Shantang Street where a little further from the city centre but gives a classic feel of traditional Chinese lifestyle.
We went there late afternoon and right before sunset. The golden sun reflected on the walls and water, makes this canal street side so pretty and charming. Very beautiful town. There are so many shops selling snacks and souvenirs. Scroll down for some snacks and drinks that we got from there.

| If you come with a car, there is a car park situated in the middle of the market. It is very convenient. |

| Red bean filled pastry |
 |
| Tea with whipped cream in bamboo cup CNY 30 (about AUD 6.50) |
 |
| Su dim sum CNY 10 for 4 pieces (about AUD 2.20/4 pcs) |
These Su dim sum, without a doubt are very pretty. But nothing like its look. There are made from rice flour. It was very lightly sweetened with a soft texture. I can't taste anything else.
Stay tuned for the next blog still in Suzhou:
