An anti-Japanese movie "Eight Hundred" has brought the four-line warehouse standing silently by the Suzhou River back into public view and has become a popular check-in place at present. Even Suzhou River has also become a hot search. On both sides of the Suzhou River, many of the once-dilapidated old warehouses and buildings have been transformed into memorial halls, museums, art studios, and fashionable ICON Internet celebrity sites, which are quite petty and bourgeois. It's worth finding a relaxing afternoon, spending an hour or two walking along the river, tracing history, and enjoying the scenery of Suzhou River compared to today.
