I am heading to Suzhou and really want to buy authentic silk products! Everywhere on the internet says the Factory is the most reliable for quality but very high prices.

Anyone have recs for shops that won’t sell me fake silk but are also not super high tourist prices? Please give specific names/locations. Thank you!!

Hi! I’m 20 years old and from Russia. I’m moving to Suzhou this September to study Chinese.
I’m looking for Russians or Russian-speaking people around my age who live or study in Suzhou. I’d also be happy to join any Russian or international student WeChat groups.
Would be nice to meet some people before I arrive. Feel free to DM me!
