AUTHENTIC Chinese STREET FOOD Tour in Pingjiang Road + Canal Boat Ride | Suzhou, China
As many of you already know, I absolutely love taking deep dives into the history, culture, and food of places all over the world. When I got the opportunity to go back to China in April of 2019, I jumped at the chance. I started in the city of Shanghai and continued through Suzhou and Hangzhou and ate new foods and learned new things every step of the way. I’m so excited to share my Chinese adventures with you!
My third full day in China continued soon after my arrival in Suzhou, which is also known as the Venice of the East. I had met up with my guide, Janet, at the train station earlier. She would be taking me around the city to see the canals and other sites, but first, I had to eat!
Janet took me to Pingjiang Road to have some authentic Chinese street food. I started with a dense slice of cake with nuts and sesame seeds. It was amazing! I also tried a type made of sesame seeds and another vegetable dish with chili. It was nice and spicy!
Then, we headed to a local restaurant, where I had some Gordon’s shrimp that consists of tiny, freshwater shrimp from the Suzhou area with water vegetables. I dove right in. The shrimp were lightly fried and really tasty. There were a lot more shrimp than vegetables, which I was totally fine with. I needed some protein!
I ate them with the chopsticks for a while and then switched over to a spoon. There were so many shrimp! There were lots of other items on the menu, but the shrimp dish was so big that I didn’t want to eat too much and then not be able to eat anything else later.
We headed back out onto the street, where I had some preserved fruit with bread. It contained cranberry and was like a sugary bread with fruit inside. I also tried some membrillo, a thick jelly made from quince fruit, with it. I loved the combination! It was super sweet. I tried a variety with tea that was also wonderful!
Next, I tried a small rice cake, thanks to a girl who shared one with me. It contained rose and was hot and filling. It also contained seeds. It was so good!
We approached a canal, where I could see incredible houses. It was so beautiful and peaceful. It reminded me of a water town I’d visited in Shanghai.
Up next was a small portion of juicy clams, which cost 15 Yuan, or about $2.20 U.S. They had chilies in them but weren’t too spicy. They were so tasty and they gave me so many for the price! The spice caught up to me after a while and I had to drink some water! At the bottom of the container was some clam soup, which was delicious.
My friend brought me a small crab. It was super hot as I pulled it apart. I sucked out the meat, which had a sweet potato-like texture. I was happier with the clams! They were freaking amazing!
Next up was a dense sugar candy, including an Oreo cranberry flavor. I passed on some cake squares with red bean paste inside because I was getting full. We reached Pingjiang Canal and Pingjiang Street. The street is 2,500 years old!
We continued down a tight alley that was lined with lots of shops. I could see lots of jewelry, silk shops, anime puzzles, crafts, food, and embroidery. Then we headed to the boat ride, which cost 40 Yuan/$5.83 U.S. each for a ride with others or 300 Yuan/roughly $44 U.S. for a private tour. We went with the regular tour since there was no need for us to go private.
I put on a life vest and sat on the bench in the front of the boat. It’s a tight fit inside the boat, so I recommend going private if you can afford it. The canal is beautiful! The canal portion reminded me of Venice, but that’s the only part that did. This area was so authentic and super relaxing. There were older, brick layers along the sides of the canal and newer layers above it. I could see carved dragons—part of the drainage system—sticking out of the walls.
Our ride was 20-30 minutes and was very peaceful. We made it back to where we started. It was more spacious but had less shops and food. We saw the beautiful Hu Xiang Shi Bridge, which was made of many layers of stone. We also saw an ancient well!
Wow! I hope you enjoyed coming along with me on my amazing food and attractions tour of Suzhou! If you did, please give it a thumb’s up and leave me a comment. Also, please subscribe to my channel so you don’t miss any of my upcoming travel/food content!

10 Best Places to Visit in China - Travel Video
China, the gateway to East Asia, is a fascinating country. It is an ancient civilization that gave the world Peking Man, gunpowder and noodles. Visitors making their first trip to China usually stick to the larger cities. More experienced visitors to the Middle Kingdom will strike out in other directions, where traveling may be a bit more frustrating because of the language barrier, but most definitely doable for independent travelers. Here’s a look at the best places to visit in China:

National Museum of China, Chinese (Pinyin) Zhongguo Guojia Bowuguan or (Wade-Giles romanization) Chung-kuo Kuo-chia Po-wu-kuan, museum in Beijing, located on the east side of Tiananmen Square. The museum was created in 2003 by the merger of the National Museum of Chinese History and the Museum of the Chinese Revolution. It is the largest museum in China and one of the largest museums in the world.
The National Museum of Chinese History, the main exhibits of which covered the history of China from its earliest beginnings up until the Chinese Revolution of 1911–12, was established at the former Imperial College of the Ming and Qing dynasties in 1912 and later expanded to rooms above the south gate of the Forbidden City and associated spaces. It opened to the public in 1926 and was reorganized in 1997 based on the latest archaeological and historical findings and arranged in chronological order. The Museum of the Chinese Revolution, established in 1950, was dedicated to the history of China from about 1840 onward, particularly highlighting the history of the Chinese Communist Party. A new building to house the two museums was completed in 1959.
After China won the bid to host the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, officials decided to combine the museums into a single entity and embarked on a massive renovation of the building. Construction began in 2007, and the museum reopened to the public in 2011, boasting some 2,153,000 square feet (200,000 square metres) of space—nearly three times its original size. The museum’s collection features more than one million objects, ranging from replicas of bones of Peking man to scientific instruments introduced to China by missionaries in the 18th and 19th centuries and many hundreds of decorative objects—such as bronzes, pottery, lacquerware, jade, and textiles—and documents, art, and artifacts ranging from the Paleolithic Period to the present.
