Come and join the fun!
Our Activities team organises various events throughout the year. These could be monthly tours and may include trips to local water towns and historical sites or sponsored bus trips into Shanghai or unique shopping destinations. Cultural experiences and lectures are scheduled to help people learn about Suzhou, the surrounding area, China and Chinese culture. The Activities Committee coordinates annual events such as the Family BBQ, Children’s Christmas Party and an adult only Dinner Dance.
The EAS is an organization of foreign passport holders and their families, residing or working in the Suzhou area, who have joined together to maximize the opportunities and enjoyment of living in a unique place like Suzhou. Joining together with others who have similar needs, experiences and interests creates a unique and special sub-community. The EAS community creates a network, for new and existing members alike, to temporarily replace those traditionally available in one’s home country. The EAS also creates opportunities for members to participate in social, cultural, sporting and educational activities more geared towards foreign interests than those that are otherwise found in Suzhou. Beyond the networking, social activities and outings, EAS also gives back to the community in which we reside by spearheading charitable activities benefiting locals in our new home.
