Additional Information
Tongli town, situated on the outskirts of Suzhou city, is famous for its elaborate canal system, earning it the moniker ‘Venice of the East’. It preserves many characteristics of a traditional Wu region town, including petite bridges, flowing streams, white walls, and black tiled roofs.
The town is segmented into seven small islands by 15 canals, arranged in a pattern resembling the Chinese character ‘川‘, and intricately linked by 49 historic bridges.
Despite visiting Tongli hundreds of times, its charm has not worn thin for me. I trust you, too, will appreciate its serenity and distinctiveness.
