Quite far. If you want to buy books, there is a Beiyuan book wholesale market opposite the railway station. Although it is not very big, there are quite a variety of books.

Suzhou Wanbei Book Market is located in Suzhou Development Zone, at the southeast corner of the intersection of Jinhai Avenue and Pengcheng Road in Suzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone. In fact, it is almost a residential area.
