- Tongli Town - Begin your journey at the renowned Tongli Water Town, celebrated for its picturesque bridges, waterways, and traditional residential complexes. The town is segmented into seven distinct islands, crisscrossed by a network of 15 canals. Owing to the unique terrain, the majority of the town’s structures are situated along the banks of the water. Each building features small steps at the front, descending to the canals, facilitating the washing of clothes and enabling residents to navigate the town by boat. It’s as if you’ve stepped into an old Chinese town. There’s also the opportunity to experience a boat ride on the river at your own cost.
- Master-of-Nets Garden - Once you’ve taken in the sights of the water town, make your way to Suzhou city for a local lunch before continuing your adventure. Sample some regional treats or delicacies and take a moment to relax.
- Panmen Gate - Proceed to explore Panmen Gate - the most ancient city gate in Suzhou and the sole surviving water and land gate in China. Dating back to the Warring States Period of the Wu state, it is believed to be approximately 2,500 years old. The gate offers a captivating panorama of Suzhou’s old town.
- Tuisi Garden - Visit another example of a Suzhou-style garden, the Garden of Master of Nets. Despite being the smallest among Suzhou’s residential gardens, it stands out for its clever design that gives the illusion of a much larger space. The garden is a testament to the skill of Chinese garden designers in blending art, nature, and architecture into metaphysical masterpieces. It’s a must-see.
After your visit, you’ll be driven back to Shanghai and dropped off at a centrally located hotel, marking the end of your day trip to Suzhou.
