politically, Hangzhou, as the capital of Zhejiang province, has a self-evident political status, while Suzhou is relatively inferior.
Economically, Suzhou's economic vitality is good, some foreign-funded enterprises are willing to set up branches in Suzhou, and there are more private enterprises in Hangzhou, which is also related to the overall environment of Zhejiang.
Culturally, both places are places where celebrities come forth in large numbers. Suzhou is famous for its gardens, and Hangzhou is famous for its West Lake. Many people have written many poems in Suzhou and Hangzhou in the past dynasties to praise the scenery of the two places.
The museum in Suzhou is a major feature, and the library in Hangzhou is a banner.
Suzhou University has a fresh style, while Hangzhou has famous Zhejiang University and China Academy of Fine Arts, and Hangzhou is relatively rich in educational resources.
In terms of diet, Suzhou noodles and Subang cuisine are superior, and the inheritance of time-honored brands is relatively better. When you go to Suzhou, you should pay attention to eating delicious food in season. Hangzhou, on the other hand, has more creative dishes than hangzhou dishes, but the wind in Hangzhou is quite strong. Many people will queue up to eat something for a while, but the diet is more international. (After some big restaurants open stores in Shanghai, maybe the second and third cities will consider Hangzhou, which is worse in Suzhou. )
