Suzhou is indeed a city on water 蘇州不愧為名副其實的水中城,水上城。
Suzhou is indeed a city on water . just as the water is an indispensable factor in the development of human history , the city of suzhou first took shape along with the construction of canals , land and water gates under the command of wu zixu , who made the design after surveying the water and soil conditions 如同人類整個的歷史是在與水的斗爭中發(fā)展起來一樣,蘇州城也是伍子胥相土嘗水、開挖河道、修建水陸城門后形成的,所以說與蘇州城同時形成、同樣古老的就是城內(nèi)縱橫的水巷和水景觀。
