    It's so intense! As someone from Liaoning, I've never experienced a summer this wild. It's almost 40 degrees Celsius in Suzhou.

      Come to Shanghai! It's by the sea, so it's cooler.

        You mean by a sea of fire, right?

          Everyone says they'll take the advice, but then they all insist on coming anyway. Once they get here, they all fall silent. Best to only venture out after 6 PM.

            I only dare to go downstairs for a quick stroll around my residential complex after 9 PM.

                  Make sure to spray on some cooling floral water (like a herbal mosquito repellent) before heading out.

                    Excuse me, but are there any particular brands of cooling floral water you'd recommend?

                        Oh great, here come the 'it tastes like toothpaste water' comments again.

                          The saying that Suzhou and Hangzhou are 'paradise on earth' has been around forever, fooling who knows how many people. In reality, this Yangtze River Delta area is one of the least hospitable places – you'll freeze to death in winter and bake to death in summer.

                            The saying 'Heaven above, Suzhou and Hangzhou below' refers to their beautiful scenery and cultural heritage. But if you insist on coming in summer, aren't you just asking for trouble (like 'lighting a lamp in a latrine – looking for sh*t/death,' as the saying goes)? I've visited Suzhou and Hangzhou many times, always in spring, and it was always a fantastic experience.

                              Anyone who visits Suzhou in the summer is a true warrior. It's so stiflingly hot and humid, I myself am thinking of heading north to escape the heat.
