Fireworks light up Suzhou in March.

Mingyue Bay Ancient Village, where King Wu and Xi Shi admired the moon. A thousand-year-old camphor tree greets you at the entrance, next to the filming location of the popular TV series, "All is Well." Follow the alley on the left to explore Ming and Qing Dynasty architecture: the Huang Family Ancestral Hall, the Fan Li Wealth-Seeking House, and the Ritual and Music Hall. The best scenery is at the Mingyue Bay Ancient Wharf, offering stunning views of Taihu Lake. The sunset is said to be beautiful, but unfortunately, the weather wasn't cooperating on my visit.
