Suzhou has a lot of authentic water towns and Tongli is one of them, which is just 40 minutes away from downtown of Suhzou by bus. It is good way to take the boat to experience local people life style which still keeps alive in Tongli. Local singer is singing local songs in Tongli dialect.

We enjoy peaceful life everywhere in Tongli

We change the itineray when we know some American medias love Aisan massage very much. Therapy with wormwood (艾灸)  is unique in Tongli, so we add such new product to the FAM trip.

They are listening so carefully that we have to delay lunch.

Wormwood is usually hung in front of doors during Dragon Boat Festival

High quality restaurant for vegetarians

Each dish with good looking and healthy cooking

Unfortunately, Americans miss their country's food very much after they came to Suzhou two days ago. We have to order KFC for them. It is very curious to see they are eating KFC in such a peaceful and cultural environment.

We are moving to Dongshan to pick tea, where is the original place of Bi Luo Chun

Though it is a little early to pick Bi Luo Chun, they try to pick such many tea leaves as they can.

Local person is roasting tea by his hands. It usually takes 45 minutes.

The first fresh Bi Luo Chun comes out successfully.

We are eager to taste the fresh Bi Luo Chun

We are back to hotel after dinner in Dongshan. American medias are very excited about tea picking, but they also care about what tourists can do besides tea picking.
