shangtang street and pingjiang road
if you visit suzhou,shangtang street and pingjiang street are worthy places to go.the two elderly (one is 1100years old,the other is more than 800 years old )have their respective brilliant past.
shangtang street is one of the most oldest street in china.you know,it was built at A.D.825 in The Tang Dynasty,the great poet BaiJuYi who was appointed be a magistrate in suzhou found the riverway was silted up.He led the digging movement.After afew years hard working,the shantang river was complete
and shantang street is built alongshore.
the pingjiang road is my neighborhood.I was born here and lived here for more than 20years.I know everything here,each flower,each rock,each tree,each man.800years ago at The Song Dynasty,the pingjiang road is the main street in suzhou.
