平江路
Pingjiang Road
Pingjiang Road runs along the river through the relatively well-preserved old city area of Suzhou. Narrow bridges, laneways, courtyard houses, small museums and residents' lives continue the parallel relationship between streets and rivers in the historical map. The main road is obviously commercialized, but the urban fabric that is quieter and continues to be used as a community can still be seen in the branch lanes.

You can arrive by subway or bus and explore on foot. Tour boats cover limited routes and are not a necessary way to understand the street-river pattern.
Practical notes
There are relatively few passengers in the early morning or evening. When entering residential lanes, you should lower your volume, ask before taking pictures of people to confirm the price of performances such as Pingtan, and do not occupy a position on a narrow bridge for a long time to take pictures.
