Some travelers may need to heed the air quality in Suzhou, although the problem is not as bad as in Shanghai or Nanjing, for example.
Like in most of China, tap water is not safe for drinking, but ok for washing and cleaning teeth, and safe if boiled.
As Suzhou is a water-town, there is a high presence of mosquitoes in the summer - luckily repellant can be found in every convenience store and they don't carry any known diseases so they're more of an annoyance than a hazard.
