SuZhou is famous as a water city so there are a lot of bridges crossing over canals in the whole city.
Some of these bridges can climb up quite high. The steps in the photograph leads to the top of a bridge. See that people like to take photos of it because it it a characteristics of the SuZhou cityscape.
During my stay in SuZhou, I visit HanShan Temple (meaning Cold Mountain Temple). It is said that in the Tang Dynasty, a famous monk Han Shan came to take charge of the temple, and hence the temple got its name since then.

After the boat trip, I had a stroll along the canal. See what I tell you in the previous post, The tour boats can actually cross under the bridge. 
I get up high on a brdge and then take a photo of two tour boats on the canal. Even on such a rainy day, there are a lot of visitors to this famous tourist spot. You can see that sometimes the tour boats actually follow each other quitely closely. 
THe gold cow looks like that it is emerging from the waters of Xi Hu. It looks very real indeed!!
I also come across an artist doing sketches by the side of the Gold Cow Lake. If you look closely at his sketches, you will find that he draws quite well - another talented guy I meet in HangZhou other than the humble fisherman. 
It's nice to swing around the trees and I am fond of playing like that . Do you know what the trees in the distance are called ? They are willow trees with very long branches and leaves dragging onto the surface of the pool and they are very common in HangZhou and SuZhou.
As I jump onto another tree, I notice that there is a building concealed behind the willow trees. What a surprise! Do you know what this building is used for? Well, have some wild guess and I'll tell you next time. Hehe....
