Suzhou has many expats from all over the world. Each expat has their own understanding and image of Suzhou. Here are some photos taken by Joseph, general manager of Marriot hotel Suzhou. He likes friendly Suzhou citizens and local people lifestyle very much, so he is interested in and is good at taking photos of local people with traditional technique.

Embroidery is the typical art of Suzhou, which looks like the vivid pictures.

Local people are playing Chinese chess in the lane after their work.

Tricycles were the main transportation in old times, but they are warm-welcomed by the visitors nowadays.

Local people are living in the deep lanes and they are waiting for their family members who are returning home.
