Day 5 Suzhou Lingering Garden

Although Tiger Hill was the most beautiful this place had the most peaceful feeling.

There is no fancy story just a wealthy citizen of China built it for his enjoyment a long time ago.

This one actually makes sense but it still worded weird.

I was just meditating and Eric, my brother in law, thought he would take my picture. Travis kept asking if something was wrong but it was actually one of my favorite moments on the trip. Just some peace and time to sit back and enjoy and think. I loved this place.

At the end towards the exit there was this beautiful show put on.

Day 5 Suzhou Silk Factory

These were some of the most beautiful beds I have ever seen. 100% silk from the bed skirt, to the sheets, to the comforter, to the comforter and pillow filling.

This is how they make the filling for the comforters, it doesn't bunch and has absolutely no allergens.

The beginning process of making the filling.

Silk thread.

Day 5 Suzhou

The streets of Suzhou.

Some beautiful light fixtures in one of the buildings. There were a lot of fixtures like this all through the country.

The Grand Canal.

These are all pictures taken from the bus traveling around Suzhou.

These yellow fields are all rape seed plants, also known as Canola Oil. These were also all over.

Look closely and you'll see Minnie Mouse. Hahaha.

The grounds of the Hotel we stayed at.

Black Swan.

Smart Koi fish, they actually followed you around on the dock. They were hoping for food.Jade sculpture in the Hotel.
