Suzhou Orientation
Suzhou's core area, Central Suzhou, is enclosed within the square of canals that make up its moat, and is further dissected by countless smaller waterways within this. The train station is on the north side of the moat at the top of Renmin Lu, with the North Bus Station to its east. Renmin Lu is Suzhou’s main artery and runs north to south through the middle of the city, passing the commercial center at Guangqian Jie. Accommodation is available all over the city, but there are a host of good options clustered around the Master of the Nets Garden on Shiquan Jie in the south. In the east, Pingjiang has some of the prettiest canals and an excellent collection of traditional houses. Many of the main sights are within walking distance of here. The Grand Canal runs along Suzhou’s western flank, turning east to exit in the south east.
