Suzhou is my hometown. It's one of the biggest cities in eastern China. It is in the south - east of Jiangsu

Province. It has a rich history of over 4,000 years. It is a famous ancient capital, where people live by rivers

with the bridges everywhere. So it's called "Venice of the East" or "Venice of China". It's famous for the canals,

stone bridges and beautiful scenery. It has also been an important centre for China's silk industry. You can come

here to visit Suzhou Museum and the Taihu Lake. You can also enjoy Kunqu opera here. Suzhou is a good place

to go shopping. There are many big supermarkets and famous streets. Come here and enjoy yourself. I am looking

forward to your coming and I will show you around it.
