A little inspiration
Looking closer at Suzhou’s gardens
A moon gate frames a different view with every step. Stop in the timber corridor, compare what caught your eye and take a photograph while the conversation continues. There’s always another detail worth a closer look.
A possible way to spend your time, shaped around you. Food, shopping, transport and tickets are separate from your Pal’s time.
