A beautiful side building (and statue) near the pagoda.  The statue bears the dates 772 -846, likely the dates this individual was alive in Suzhou.

A small but beautiful padoga (name unknown) in the area.

This is a new, higher bridge.  In the background you can see the modern city of Suzhou.

One of the many beautiful bridges over the canals that criss-cross the Shan Tang area.

Look at these houses that are on both sides of the canal.

This is the Changmen Gate leading into the Shan Tang area from the main city street.
