Being an ancient township, Tong Li borders on Tongli Lake on the east, Nanxin Lake on the south, adjoins Pangshan Lake on the west, Jiuli Lake on the north and Wusong Jiang River on the northwest. The town proper is divided by the streams into 7 islets interlaced with the surrounding water area, forming typical water county of the south.
With a network of lakes and waterways, Tongli has not suffered from war since it was inaccessible in the old times. Therefore more ancient buildings are preserved, among which we can still enjoy the following scenic spots “ the Moon Viewing at the East Stream”, “the Misty South Market at Dawn”, “the Night Crossing at the West ferry”, “the Spring Sight in the North Hill”, “the Fishermen's Flute in the Water Village” and “the Misty Bamboo of the Chan Hill”. The traditional houses densely settle on the sides of the fine banks piled by Jinshan Stone, and winding alleys and streets paved with pebble stones still keep the ancient appearance. There are 24 bridges at the intersection of waterways. The Siben Bridge built in the Southern Song dynasty is simple and archaic. The Fu'guan Bridge built in the Yuan dynasty is grandiose.
Tongli is rich in culture. In the long run of its history, it was once famed for its achievements in the imperial examinations and has proced famous cofucianists and notables. About 40 stone tablets of different periods have been well preserved and a quite number of its steets and alleys are named after the official titles such as Zhuang-yuan Street , Tong Street , etc.
In the township of Tongli , the Ming an Qing buildings occupy four tenths of the total, among which there are grand as-many-as-nine-row houses, small exquisite courtyards and gardens. The gateway with the brick carving of Zhu Family and the wood carving of the Chong Ben Hall &Jia Yin Hall are extremely exquisite. The Yan-yi Building in the court of the Geng-le Hall is wrought so elegantly that it is like swallow flapping its wings. Huan Xiu Ge has two stories. If you remove the first floor board, fishes can be seen swimming in the clear pond beneath, full of vitality.
Lying in the township of Tongli , the Garden of Quiet Meditation was built by Ren Lansheng in 1886AD, the 11th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing dynasty, after he was discharged from office. “ When in office, one should be loyal to the emperor, when away from office, one should meditate upon his previous faults.”---- It was the motto of the officials in imperial times. Hence the name “the Garden of Quiet Meditation ”.
The garden covers an area of 10 mu. The western part is for dwelling, including 3 rows : sedan hall, tea hall and th main hall. There is also a spacious bedroom for the womenfolk. The eastern part is composed of the exterior and interior gardens. The whole construction shows no over-elaboration and reflects the peculiar architectural form of the late Qing dynasty. The 3 sides but the north of the exterior garden are halls for meeting or entertaining guests. Outside the exterior garden are pines, bamboos, wintersweet and artificial stalagmite. Inside in the courtyard is a eastward land boat, a rendezvous of the guests. The stern is combined with lattice windows and veranda. The northern side of the courtyard is the “ Viewing Moon Loft”, from where the host together with his guests hummed verses and responded each other with poems in the quiet moonlight. In the interior garden, the pavilions, terraces, boudoirs, the winding causeways and corridors and the rockeries all surround the pond or lie close to the water, giving an illusion of floating on the water.
Although small in size, the Garden of Quiet Meditation embraces all the rockeries, ponds, buildings, vines, trees, flowers and plants that exist in the classical gardens south of the Yantze River . Furthermore, one can enjoy the scenes of the four seasons and those of guqin, chess, calligraphy and drawing. The whole garden, with the moderate and exquisite layout, amiable scenery, exhibits rich artistic flavors.
Tongli (Chinese: 同里; Pinyin: Tónglǐ) is a town in Wujiang county, on the outskirts of Suzhou. It is known for a system of canals reminiscent of Venice, Italy.
Tongli is 40 minutes away from Suzhou city. The city retains many of the features of an ancient Chinese town.
Attractions
There are several museums in Tongli. This is more like a wax museum describing the culture of China in the olden days, about Marriage, the dynasties etc.
There is also a beautiful islet called "Luo Xing" islet to be traveled by ferry.
One can enjoy a lovely dinner sitting by the canal watching a boat pass by while the small restaurant cooks some nice Suzhou food. Tongli is peaceful, serene, calm and quiet.
In 2004, Tongli together with Lu and Zhouzhuang were listed in the tentative list for UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Jiayain Hall is also of note, and is the former home of Liu Yazi, an early 20th century actor known for his collection of gauze caps.
Tong Li is one of several towns on the outskirts of Suzhou known as Little Venice. There are roads, but the main arteries through the town are the canals. The pictures from this water city turned out much better than the town itself. I found it to be actually quite dingy, and would recommend that you try a different water city, Little Venice on your trip.

Some of us are having problems with our parents , as they often look into our school bags or read our diaries . I fully understand why we are not comfortable about it , but there’s no need to feel too sad. Our parents are checking our bags or diaries to make sure we are not getting into any trouble . They have probably heard some horrible stories about other kids and thought we might do the same . Or perhaps they just want to connect with us but are doing it all wrong . My suggestion is : Tell them we want them to trust us as much as we’d like to trust them .If you don’t think you can talk to them , write them a letter and leave it lying around ---they are bound to read it .

范文： Which would you give up : TV , cell or web?
We are now living in an information age , in which TV , cells and the web are widely used . It seems that many people can not enjoy themselves with them .
However , if I had to give up one of them , I would turn off TV rather than switch off my cell or cut off the internet . I could do without TV because few TV shows can take my fancy and there’re too many commercials . Besides , most programs on TV are also available elsewhere .
As for cells and the web , they are more necessary to me . I need a cell to keep in touch with my friends and family , and almost all information can be gathered on the internet .

A drop of water +two drops +many drops =sea
A tree +two trees +many trees = forest
One person +two persons +many persons =society
范文： The picture shows a simple truth : If too many drops of water are put together ,they will become a sea. Many trees standing together form a forest and many people make up a society . It conveys a message to us : A whole is made up of many small parts that are closely related .Nothing or no one could exist alone .
The picture sets us thinking deeply : our society is made up of many people who have different personality and characters . If we want to create a harmonious society ,we must live in harmony with others . On the other hand , since everybody is related to others , we should be responsible for what we say and what we do so that we can develop a pleasant relationship with others , which makes it possible for us to enjoy life to the fullest .

What puzzles you is actually a puzzle for many parents in China . My idea is that it is quite right for you to do so .
Although high grades are an important factor in evaluating students and for their future university admission , development in wisdom emotion ,health and life attitude should never be ignored . There are many examples around us . Some all—A students in school have turned out not to be as successful in society as they were expected. The reason is often that the pressure from their parents allows them almost no time for other activities . Furthermore , punishment is by no means a wise choice to help them grow up mentally and physically .
So I suggest that you take your friends’ advice . More importantly, let her live like a lovely girl ; let her have more friends and social activities ; and let her make mistakes of her own as we teenagers often do .

He always tries his best to help every, patient and make patients comfortable. But sonetimes he works so hard that he can't remember the date. My mother is a woman with a bad memory. She always does a lot of housework, but sometimes she makes mistakes out of carelessness. For example, one day, she washed clothes in the washer, after the washer finished the work, she found she hadn't filled the washer with water. Now let me tell you a funny thing: one day, father wanted to get up early as usual, buthe wasn't able to do that, because he hadn't set the alarm clock the night before, so when he got up, he did everything in a hurry. After father left, mother said to me mysteriously, "He will come back soon." "Why?" I was greatly surprised. "Because today is Sunday, his holiday!" Just as mother said, father came back home soon, and went to bed again--he was too tired. You see, what an interesting family have! I hope that you will have one like mine, too.

My school carried out new projects. Some foreign high school students would come to our school to study for a month. We were so excited about the project, because we had learned English for many years and we never had the chance to talk to the native speakers. Now the chance was coming and I wanted to make friends with them. I joined the activities, which was for students to communicate with foreign friends. I was so nervous to communicate with my partner. I was afraid of making mistakes when speaking English. But since we talked, I found she could understand me and we shared the culture. I learned a lot and we became friends. Don't be afraid of making mistakes when we speak English. If we want to get improved, just speak.
