TongliA beautiful little Water Town! Right on the outskirts of Suzhou is this beautiful little water village called Tongli. An Idyllic place and is the backdrop for many Chinese movies. In the canals are a goldfish type fish but I think they are Koi Carp. All the housing in Tongli is on water. Tongli is nicknamed “Venice of The East”. Drew and I loved it here. Here’s Drew taking it all in. Quaint little alleys. With hanging underwear! Our Guide. We just sat there while she did all the work. As I write this now Drew is in the other room, he’s visiting me here in Orlando- June 29th, 2021!This is a pic of him and our Resident Guide— the lady that was with us the whole trip. Silk Scarves. Trained Cormoronts. Our Motley Crew of fellow travelers! This ancient bridge is one of about 40 bridges in Tongli. I can’t say enough about the fantastic food we had here in China. Caught this guy napping. I think I have him on my “ It’s A Sleepy World” pages. Local Barber We stopped here for tea. Water Taxi Yuk! Laundry Time Checking out a meagre days catch Time for tea and it was amazing tea! Sex Culture Museum? What’s he buying now? And therein ends our visit to beautiful Tongli!
