Description

After experiencing the bustling urban life of Shanghai, head straight into the leisurely Suzhou-style ambiance. *You can choose professional Suzhou tour guide services. Stop at Hanshan Temple, which has withstood the test of time for over a thousand years and boasts a rich cultural heritage. Many famous ancient poems have depicted its beauty. After exploring Hanshan Temple, take a leisurely stroll along Shiquan Street and enjoy a meal, where you can experience the authentic local atmosphere of old Suzhou, avoiding the crowded tourist areas. After lunch, choose to visit a traditional teahouse to enjoy tea while listening to Suzhou-style Pingtan—a traditional South of the Yangtze River folk art—or opt for a 50-minute boat ride to admire the scenic views of the “Oriental Venice.” Following that, visit a typical Suzhou garden—Master of Nets Garden or The Lingering Garden. Among Suzhou's over 100 classical gardens, they may not be the largest or most talked-about, but they are exceptionally elegant and comfortable. After a wonderful day, seamlessly return to Shanghai.
