Suzhou works its charm on media guests, influencers

Okuda Mariko, a Xinhua reporter from Japan, said she was amazed by the local cultures in Suzhou, as they are all unique.

The jaunt was part of the third leg of the "A Date with China" international media tour, which kicked off in Tianjin on Friday.

Titled "On Road to Prosperity", the third leg, covering Tianjin and Suzhou, takes China-based foreign media correspondents, foreign internet influencers and domestic journalists to experience China's achievements in reform and opening-up.
