at the end of it, there is a summer palace which is in the middle of 2 lake,
the place called " Pan Yang Er Hu", which is Pan Jia Hu and Yang Jia xi hu. a harmony of yin yang in china's every aspect of lifeSmall dish before the main dish at Di yi Low, Tien xia
You're looking at the best XIao long Bao, or locally called Guan thang bao. the Bao serves as

Hi keith, It is not big city, but the mixture of modern building surrounding the renovated old style architecture is something that is interesting.
Do try on the local Guan thang bao at a restaurant Dian xia di yi ( Number one under the sky).
i heard that the city municipal has a plan and actually currently digging a surrounding water canal (small river) surrounding the city. so that people can travel by boat in the future.
