Changzhou

Changzhou is located about 4 miles (6 kilometers) away from Suzhou, a an important city in China.

Don't limit yourself to Changzhou; this region features an abundance cultural and scenic attractions which await the savvy traveler. Urumqi, lies roughly 7 miles (11 kilometers) to the northwest. Take the trip there to enjoy the Hongshan Park and Tian Chi.

If the sun is shining, head outside to explore Jiangsu's gardens.

This spot has a number of places for fishing, so make sure you leave room in your schedule to fit it in. Boating is another watersport here.

Language is an excellent way to bridge the cultural divide, so why not make sure you understand some useful Mandarin words and phrases before you head off. "Nǐ yào bú yào gēn wǒ tiàowǔ" ("Would you like todance with me?") is useful. "Zhèiwèi xiānsheng huì qīngdān" ("This gentleman/lady will pay for everything") is another useful one.

When the time comes to leave this unique place, say goodbye the way they do in Mandarin, with a hearty "Zàijiàn."
