That depends on where you’d like to go. Downtown Suzhou, about 19 miles from Wuxi Airport (WUX-Shuofang), can be a little daunting to drive around. Make things easy by renting something small, fuel-efficient, and simple to handle. That being said, Suzhou is an excellent base to explore many of the lakes in Jiangsu. If your escape is more about cruising the wide-open roads, then you may prefer something with a little more comfort and room to move around. How about an SUV or a full-size car?
