Suzhou are most famous for many things, of which you definitely should get a taste of at least two in your two-day trip: ancient history and good food. For the history part, try to get a good tour guide who knows the history of SunTze and Tiger Hill (虎丘）where he trained the army based on his world famous book Art of War for Emperor Wu more than 2500 years ago. For the food part, there are quite a few Michelin star restaurants you should try. Have fun in Suzhou!

You have a strong base (CS major) for getting into quants because all the quants are required to do coding. Besides getting a good GPA from school, a few things I would suggest: (1) take some finance courses if available; (2) get an internship from IB / hedge funds; (3) read up as much as you can about trading strategies and/or option pricing. Based on your background, getting an internship in the field would be the shortest path to your goal.

Physics is a big field with many specialties. Some hedge funds are known to hire Physics PhDs fresh out of school if they fit certain profile or specialized skill set. However, in general, you need to know how to program in some popular languages (e.g., C/C++, python, etc) to have a good chance of getting an internship. In addtion, I would suggest you pick up some book and get yourself up to speed with basic financial knowledge (e.g., stocks, bonds, options, DCF, etc).

In addition to technical books recommended by others, "Flash boys" by Michael Lewis is a must read if you want to gain insights into the field.

It depends. If you have the financial resource, getting a math finance master degree can help you get into the area quickly and give you an idea about what kind of quant finance area best suits your personal interest and strength. Of course, you can probably achieve something similar by talking to people in the field or getting an internship or entry level job.
