Album Info:

Suzhou has a history stretching back over two milleniums and is considered one of the oldest towns in the Yangzi River Basin. During the Qin dynasty (221-206 BCE), it was a town in the Wu state and was then known as Wuxian. However, after the conquest of Southern China by the Sui dynasty, it was made a prefecture and named Suzhou. With the completion of the Grand Canal in 609 CE, Suzhou grew rapidly in commerce and trade. There was abundant rice grown around Suzhou during the Tang and Song dynasty (618-1279 CE). Suzhou merited a saying "When Suzhou produces everyone has enough".

  • Hello Suresh, I remember I saw this famous image of yours as I 'flew' over the 'golden' CC entries. I just had to come back to it to get it for my screensaver. I had it once, but the PCs change, but not my love to special captures like this one. – Thanks a lot for your lovely entries on my last albums and entries for the CC. Less than a month ago I retired and now I have less time than ever, :-) How are you? It's a long time since you published a new album. Is anything new on the way?- Take care and tschüüüüüss!! - Galit
