Description

Discover the best of Suzhou on a private tour from Shanghai. Visit the Lingering Garden, stroll along Pingjiang Road, and explore the iconic Tiger Hill. Learn about the silk industry at the Suzhou No.1 Silk Factory. Start with a visit to the Lingering Garden, one of the Four Greatest Gardens in China. Admire the traditional Suzhou gardens, which have synthesized almost all the classic features of Suzhou gardens. Continue to Pingjiang Road, a peaceful water town-style street with canals by the side. Stroll along the narrow lanes, humpbacked bridges, and archaistic cafes and shops. In the afternoon, head to the iconic historical site of Tiger Hill. The hill is only 36 meters in height, but covers about 3.5 acres with a number of historical sites, some of which have a history of over 2,500 years. See the Yunyan Pagoda, an over-1000-year-old pagoda with seven stories in height, and the Sword Pool where the King of Wu, He Lu, tested and buried his treasured swords about 2500 years ago. Transfer from Tiger Hill to the Suzhou No.1 Silk Factory for a great entertaining and educational experience. Learn about the ancient looms in different dynasties and different weaving techniques. See a demonstration of silk manufacturing from cover to cover, including silkworms eating mulberries, machinery unraveling cocoons, and workers spinning silk. Browse a sea of fancy silk items like scarves, pajamas, bags, cheongsams, and shirts.
