Suzhou, China

Suzhou, China


Suzhou is an easy day trip from Shanghai - about an hour by bullet train - and is one of the oldest towns along the Yangtze River, with a chronicled history of over 2,500 years. Often called the 'Venice of the East', Suzhou is a wonderful place to take a boat tour on the Grand Canal. The city is reknowned for its walled gardens, especially the Master of the Nets and the Humble Adminstrator's Gardens.
