Geographically, it's nearly hard to divide Shanghai and Suzhou because they are nearly connected together. But these two cities have unique characteristics. Suzhou, an old city with a history of more than 3000 years, is exquisite and small; Shanghai, the largest city in China with large population of 1.7million, developed from a fish village in a few hundred years. Take this trip and find its own spiritual songs!
