If you enjoy hiking, you can make your way to the top of the hill and appreciate the beautiful scenery along the way.

If you choose the tour with the boat option, you will enjoy a relaxing boat ride along the peaceful canal, fully appreciating the charm of the “Oriental Venice.” After the wonderful tour, your guide will see you off at your Suzhou hotel or another downtown area as per your request.
