Introduction
Shantang Ancient Street is an ancient commercial street along the Shantang River in Northwest Suzhou. It boasts 1000 years of history and was built by the Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi when he was a government official in Suzhou. Today, at the southern end of the street, there is a temple built to commemorate him. Ancient bridges span across the river canals, and both sides of the canals are lined with old houses and traditional shops. In the evening, the red lanterns lining the street are reflected in the river, creating a picturesque scenery. You can take a boat ride for a fee, or find a tea house to drink tea and listen to traditional Suzhou Pingtan.

Cruise boat is generally, I thought that I can go to Huqiu, the three children are not, the night scene on both sides is not as beautiful as the Qinhuai River in Nanjing. And there is no explanation on the whole trip. It feels more boring. It is estimated that it is better to see it in the day.
great walk with nice shops selling local products fascinating to see people living in very old houses
Quite an interesting place, all kinds of street food, very busy place
Beautiful street full off lighting ,a plsce must visit in night
it beautiful, a definitely must see... i went during spring festival so most art and craft shops were closed and of cause it was raining but nonetheless it was awesome
Every city has a characteristic old street that locals never go to, and which is popular with outsiders, which at first glance looks the same, such as the mottled walls, the blue slates and the zhuge, the din of teahouses, the shops and the din of the din of the din of the din of the din of the din of the din of the din of the din of the din of the din of the din of the din of the din of the din of the din of the din of the din of the din of the din of the din of the din of The hawking is all the same...if you walk around, you must feel the world is the same. But Suzhou Shantang Street is not so. Because it is not in the characteristic old street flood, already head pillowed the river, quietly flow in Suzhou City Well tone for more than 1100 years. Speaking of the history of Shantang Street, must mention a person, that is the Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi. Bai Juyi was a history of Suzhou's assassination in the Baoli Period of Tang Dynasty (825 AD). Once he took a sedan chair to Huqiu, saw the land rivers blocked, water and road, he presided over the digging of Shantang River. East from the Jingmen River Bridge, west to Huqiu Mountain Bridge, the total length of seven li, the common name is "Qili Shantang to Huqiu" .
