Sly, sorry for the rickshaw incident. It’s not the money, it’s the principle. Glad the front desk ladies (most likely Suzhou natives) helped you out. I just had almost same experience in Casablanca, taxi driver (called in by hotel front desk) over charged me 25 local currency (about 2, 3 usd). After got back, I mentioned to the hotel front desk, she called the driver, who returned 20 to the hotel. I gave the 20 to the front desk as appreciation😊

In order to ensure the safety of passengers, the car will record when you use Didi. So when you encounter any problems, you can find customer service, they will help you solve the problem quickly, and you can also choose to complain to the driver who charged you a high price, I don’t want you to use your kindness to condone such people behavior, we supervise together, this social environment will be better.

At the Summer Davos Forum in 2023, Tencent stated that in July this year, Tencent will gradually open the WeChat payment merchant network to international credit or debit card organizations such as Visa, so that overseas users can use commonly used credit cards and debit cards in mainland China. The card is bound to WeChat Pay.

Excellent video, and an important city to me. Thank you. My ancestry traces back 16 generations, according to kept record, to Suzhou, predecessor of a historical figure. I visited in 1986. Planning to return for visits when I retire. Besides the things you listed Suzhou is known for, it is also known for its beautiful women. Our grandmother liked to remind us of that. 🤔However, I don't see that in my aunts and sisters 🤭Oops. I hope they don't see this😬 BTW Suzhou is a has beautiful gardens. However, the consensus is that Hangzhou is most beautiful. Perhaps that's in your plan.

As someone from Suzhou, the old city district(or you can just call it the downtown area) is mostly for tourists. It is the area where Suzhou's traditional culture is celebrated. If you want to see the technological side of the city, you should visit the Industrial Park district. That is where all the new buildings and high rises are at.

I don’t know how long you’re in each city or China for that matter, but you gotta come to Hangzhou. I’m leaving soon to go home to the states for the summer but Hz is well know for water ways (canal) and West Lake. Which is one of the most popular tourist attractions for people in China. BTW also pronunciation of ‘zhou’ in Chinese is long ‘o’ sound, like ‘Joe’. And the ‘a’ sound in Chinese is like the ‘o’ in American words like ‘song’ or ‘thong’.

Sorry about the taxi incident, glad the local helped you out to get your money back. I had a bad experience when we visited Florida a few years ago. The taxi driver took the opposite direction and pretended he didn’t know English neither the map, keeping ignoring our protest, ended up over charging us nearly US$50. I didn’t understand how he understood both English and the map first but not after we boarded his car. We never got our money back even after filing a complaint. 😢😢😢😢😢😢 I guess I should be thankful because what could have happened to us with such a bad driver.

Actually, Wu has several branch dialects, with many very localized to villages. But Suzhou Wu direct is generally recognized as then most melodious, and Suzhou accented Mandarin spoken by Suzhou ladies is considered the most "sweet', "feminine" and "polite"spoken Mandarin and often used by female announcers in media.
