Description

Your private adventure begins with a comfortable pickup from your Shanghai hotel. Relax as your guide shares fascinating stories on the drive to Suzhou—China’s “Venice of the East.” Stroll through one of Suzhou’s legendary classical gardens—choose from the tranquil Master of the Nets Garden (our top pick!), the artistic Lingering Garden, or the whimsical Lion Grove Garden. Your guide will help you uncover hidden corners and explain centuries-old traditions. Next, marvel at the mystical Tiger Hill, famed for its ancient pagoda, charming bonsai, and dramatic legends. After a scenic drive, step back in time at Zhouzhuang Water Town. Drift along peaceful canals aboard a traditional boat (optional), admire arched stone bridges, and soak up the romance of Ming and Qing dynasty architecture. After a day of discovery, your guide returns you safely to your Shanghai hotel—full of stories and photos to remember.
