Gallery tips for Suzhou

A few things worth knowing before you work through Suzhou's art galleries:

• Go to opening nights at Sky Gallery. Free entry, the artists in the room, and a crowd that wants to talk about the work. The best gallery experience there is.
• The café is part of the visit at Pavillon de Paris. If the gallery has a café, use it. Lingering over coffee after the show is half the experience.
• The bookshop corner is curated. Gallery bookshops stock the art books the big stores don't. Worth ten minutes on the way out.
• Check accessibility. Older gallery buildings can be tricky. The website usually notes step-free access — check before you go.
