China
Suzhou is a large city in eastern China, with a population of 8,074,031. It operates on China Standard Time and is served by Suzhou Airport (SZV).
Suzhou is inland rather than a beach destination. There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres, so visits are better planned around the city itself and its local transport network rather than nearby coastline.
