The small town of Tongli is only about an hour away from Suzhou, easily accessible by bus. Well, actually it takes me longer to get to the bus station in Suzhou by local bus than it does to Tongli.

Serene small town...
After big cities, this small town with picturesque canals, bridges and gardens looks like heaven--there's a reason some towns are touristy. Great photos evoking a wonderful sense of serenity and of the people who live there.

Small town vibe
