Suzhou Transport - Others

Bicycles
There are many bicycles in Suzhou because of its relatively flat landscape. This convenient mode of transportation allows travelers to explore long streets, narrow lanes and small bridges. In Pingmen Qiao (Pingmen Bridge) and Shiquan Street there are two shops that offer bike rentals. Prices vary depending on the model, individual shop and condition of the bicycle. Average rental prices range from 4 RMB (2 hours), 6 RMB (5 hours) or 10 RMB per day; in addition, a security deposit (200 RMB) along with an identification card must be provided.

Tricycles/Pedicabs
Some tourist attractions in Suzhou are located in small lanes and cannot be easily reached by public buses. There are a number of tricycles that seat two people and are considered a great way to cover short distances easily. With a starting price of 2 RMB and 2 RMB per additional kilometer, pedicabs are a pleasant way of covering a short distance. It is very important to negotiate the price before you start to avoid arguments at the other end! Charter tours are offered by a number of tricycle operators. Prices for these tours may vary, but the average price is approximately 5 RMB per person per hour.

Water Bus
The Suzhou Water Bus Co., Ltd. is located on the river. The company provides river tours and water bus services. The double-deck cruisers and old-style boats are all well equipped with air-conditioners and entertainment facilities. In addition, boats can serve as a venue for large or small parties.
