[quote=WILLOWTREE59,225487]ni hao, board!  I'm visiting Suzhou on business next week.  I've been there once before, last November.  Last time I was part of a group who spoke Chinese, this time I am on my own.I will have two days to sightsee - last time all I saw was the road from Gloria Plaza Hotel to the Industrial Park!  With two weekend days, waht are the "must-see" attractions in Suzhou?  The gardens look lovely in the pictures posted here.  What else?  Tiger Hill?  I'm also interested in any cultural events such as folk music or dance, or local festivals and anything else that will show me "real" China ways and customs.Also, for shopping, are there any reputable antique dealers in Suzhou?  If not, I may have a day in Shanghai before I leave - any recommendations for antiques there?  Where to go, where NOT to go?One last question - as I do not speak Chinese, what are the best restaurants in Suzhou where I can either read a menu, see pictures, or have someone speak English?  I really do not want to go to "Western" restaurants, the last time I was there I fell in love with traditional Suzhou food.  Thank you in advance![/quote]
