I like travelling by car because it is more convenient than high-speed train. I can’t arrive the place directly if I travel by train, I need spend a lot of time on my commute and go through over three transfer. But If I travel by car, I will only check my route beforehand. I can buy some local food in service areas. The architectural features of service areas in different regions are different. Compared with Zhejiang, the ancient constructs or arts in Suzhou are remained well. So if people travel by car, they can appreciate local constructs. But I don’t have the driver’s licence, neither does my husband. All of the above are my imagination.
