If you’re unable to secure a booking at the Suzhou Museum’s main branch, you may want to come here instead. Suzhou Museum West is actually a lot larger than the main branch. It has exhibitions on local history and culture, and often hosts temporary exhibitions. There is also a cafe and a restaurant.

山塘
