Liu Lingering Garden: The rain is my most lingering memory of the garden. It is quite beautiful (even in the rain). It was not too big to walk around, just cozy enough with its beautiful trees flowers bonsais and fantastic pond. There are some banana trees peeking through the traditional moon gate. Supposedly the gardens owner loved to listen to the soft pitter-pattering of rain on its leaves which was thought to evoke inspiration to him. You can find little spots of quietness even though there are lots of people around you. 

Tongli Town: Very nice old town. However, if you have seen many other old places in the area, this was kind of a stretch. There is a Sex Museum located inside a little gated canal town. Pay an extra fee to enter and be immediately greeted by an enormous penis. If you're expecting to romp around in a titillating porno palace, you will be terribly disappointed. The sex museum isnt anything much except a sex sculpture garden with many old stone and ceramics/clay ancient sex artifacts. Not exactly photo inspiring :-)
