Take a breezy ride for 1.5 hours in a comfy and steady Buick van to the cradle of Jiangnan (Southeast China), Suzhou, to admire elegance of a classical garden and charm of a Buddhist temple. Instead of for fame, I take you to destinations for their worth. In a garden, you will see how a big wig lived in his mansion and how Chinese made Nature out of rocks and waters. With the temple, you are going to enjoy some rare peace of mind in this hectic time and world.
