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.
