Pan Pacific Hotel, Suzhou.

A common activity in Suzhou appears to be the casual photoshoot in classically-inspired costumes. At the hotel, you can borrow costumes and then pay for make-up services and photographers to accompany you around the hotel gardens to photograph you in various locations.

 

This activity also takes place on busy streets at night, and in public gardens.
