Suzhou is a city with historical significance and beautiful landscape gardens. It is regarded as "heaven on earth" since the Song Dynasty(960-1279), and Suzhou has been an important center for China's silk industry. Suzhou is very much a water town - it's thoroughly criss-crossed with canals and bridges - and you can still see traces of a very old lifestyle centered around the canals.
Within this trip, you will visit the Humble Administrator's Garden(RMB50-70), the most beautiful and famous one on the list of UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Sites, and depending on your time, we also recommend the Tiger Hill(RMB40-60), silk factory and Suzhou Museum.
