Many people know Dai Wangshu's "Rain Lane", "holding an oil paper umbrella, alone in the long, long and lonely rain lane, I hope to meet a girl who is sad like a clove..." This alley of Pingjiang Road is inevitably reminiscent of this famous article. The clove lane is not related to this poem. In the narrow alley, the mottled green walls have the heritage of Suzhou. This alley is not as bustling as Pingjiang Road next to it, but the tranquility hidden in the downtown is rare. The past is like smoke, the years are like a shuttle, history is gradually drowned in the alleys, the long river...

A small alley, there are many residents living here, basically the elderly are mainly, but also in an alley by the river, small bridges and flowing water people, especially comfortable, if you take Pingjiang Road, you can walk together

Lilac Lane is at the entrance of the Maokong Bookstore. It is a small alley with locals living in it. There are also some shops. Pingjiang Road is noisy, but it is much quieter when you turn into Lilac Lane. It is not bad.
