Pingjiang Road? Hard Pass. THIS is Where You *Actually* Wanna Be.

Mr. Otis Schaefer

Yeah, true. But I feel like many shops on Pingjiang Road sell pretty much the same things. If the weather's good, it's still nice for a stroll. I was with two kids and two elderly folks, so I was looking for something a bit less tiring.

As a Suzhou local, I think your clickbait title is quite misleading. Pingjiang Road is much better for exploring than Shantang Street! When you explore Pingjiang Road, you're not just walking down one main street, but the entire block (from Dongbei Street in the north, Cang Street in the east, Pingjiang Road itself in the west, to Shiquan Street in the south). It's full of countless small streets and alleys perfect for a city walk. The scenery is definitely no less impressive than Shantang Street's, and it's much chicer and more relaxed.

Seriously, I'm from Guangdong, and Pingjiang Road is more than twice as good as Shantang Street.

Misty Dare

Got similar shots. Personally, I find Shantang Street way too crowded; the paths are narrow and difficult to navigate. While Pingjiang Road is also a commercial street, its paths are a bit wider, and there are some interesting shops. Between the two, I'd recommend Pingjiang Road.

Guadalupe Barton

Is it very crowded this season too?

Kathryn Hermiston

I'd recommend Pingjiang Road more; it's great for a city walk. I feel like people mostly go to Shantang Street for the night views. As for the shops, both places sell similar things, but I personally think the shops on Pingjiang Road are generally better.

I'm a tourist, and I feel the same way.

Already joined a tour group for 80 RMB per person.

Justin Zieme

Do you really need a tour group to visit this place?

Byron Larkin

Excuse me, where is this?

Colin Cronin

Is it cold?

Danielle Purdy-Weimann

It should be alright today. The few days I was there, there was a cold snap, with temperatures from -4 to 3 degrees Celsius.

Hey, where were pictures 1, 2, and 3 taken?

I think Pingjiang Road is definitely worth a stroll ! I used to live in Suzhou for a few months, and after dinner, I would often go for a walk around Pingjiang Road!
