For an authentic taste of the city lifestyle in old Suzhou, a stroll down Pingjiang Road is a great way to get acquainted with the local vibe. Quiet, leafy and slow-paced, the street is lined old Chinese houses as well as restaurants and teahouses serving traditional food and drink, upscale cafe catering to the historical chic crowd, as well as a few hostels. When you walk in the Pingjiang historical block, the road was still the old paved roads; the river was still green and clear and the residence was still as quiet as before. The black tiles have the traces of white wall when it rains, just like a Chinese ink. In these old residences, there was a gallery managed by a Frenchman or a reading corner managed by an Irish or a residential hostel or a hotel for backpacker. However, there were also some special shops for the natives in Suzhou, like carved jade or teahouse of different theme. The people walking on the road or sitting at the windows can not distinguish, they were enjoying the painting or in the painting.
