Highlights

Suzhou City Tour

The Lingering Garden - Pick up service is arranged at your Suzhou downtown hotel or Suzhou train station. You will find a welcome sign.

Your first destination is Lingering Garden. The landscape architectural space processing is very exquisite, using a variety of artistic techniques to create a unique space system, making it one of the world’s exemplary cases of architectural space art processing.

Panmen Gate - Next, visit Panmen Gate. It is renowned for its numerous historic relics and abundant human landscapes. The Panmen scenic area has now become a tourist resort showcasing the unique historic and cultural features of Suzhou.

Hanshan Temple - Continue your tour to Hanshan Temple. The temple dates back to the 6th century and has been destroyed and repaired multiple times throughout history. Hanshan Temple is especially famous for its bell rings and Buddhist culture. Around the temple, you can also enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Maple Bridge, where Zhang Ji’s boat was once moored, and get a realistic feel of the ordinary life of the people living in Fengqiao Old Town.

Shantang Street - Then, you will visit Shantang Street. Shantang Street is regarded as “the No.1 Ancient Street in China,” showcasing the essence of natural views and human landscapes of Suzhou. It is rated as “the miniature of old Suzhou and the window of Wu Culture.”

Master-of-Nets Garden - Your last stop for today is The Master of Nets Garden. It is the most impressive garden in Suzhou because of its use of space, which creates the illusion of an area much larger than its actual size. You will then be driven back to your hotel.

Suzhou City Tour

Suzhou Museum - First, you will visit Suzhou Museum. It is a highly-regarded regional museum with a number of significant Chinese cultural relics. The museum is not only a monumental design building in Suzhou but also a significant construction that merges traditional Chinese architectural design with modern elements.

Suzhou Ancient Grand Canal - Stop at the Grand Canal (including a Private Boat Ride), a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is the longest canal or artificial river in the world and a famous tourist destination. The Grand Canal in Suzhou, with its wide surface and abundant, crystal-clear water, is considered the best part of the Grand Canal for shipping.

Tiger Hill - Take in the sights at the famous Tiger Hill, which boasts impressive rocks, deep dales, three matchless scenes, nine suitable occasions for enjoyment, 18 scenic spots, and ever-changing scenery. After the tour ends, you will be driven back to your hotel or Suzhou train station.

An Excellent Tour - Revisiting Suzhou after many years. Wanted a comprehensive tour of the main sightseeing spots in the city. This trip turned out to meet all my requirements. My guide Anita was well informed and an excellent tour guide. She was pleasant and kept me well informed of the itinerary at the start of both days updating it as we went along. She was efficient and sensitive to my needs as a single traveller ensuring time was well spent and not wasted on things I did not have an interest in. The 2 day tour itself was not rushed with more than adequate time available for visiting the various elements of the itinerary. Lunch was not included but Anita (and the Driver) were able to recommend excellent local restaurants and food for a foreign traveller. The drivers were considerate helpful and most of all gave confidence in their driving ability in a somewhat busy city. All in all an excellent choice to see the city in an unhurried but comprehensive way.
