2-Day Suzhou Watertown Trip

Visit: The Humble Administrator's Garden, one of the most famous gardens in Suzhou and one of the four famous gardens in China, is listed as a world cultural heritage. It is also a classic work of Chinese garden making. It is a national treasure and a treasure of world culture together with the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, the Confucius Temple, the Terra Cotta Warriors of the Qin Dynasty and the Potala Palace. The characteristic of Humble Administrator's Garden is that the division and layout of the garden are very clever, dividing the limited space and fully using garden art such as borrowing and contrasting scenery. Therefore, the beauty of Humble Administrator's Garden is self-evident. Some people say that Humble Administrator's Garden is the first of the four famous gardens in Suzhou.
Tour: Pingjiang Road Historical District (tour time about 1.5 hours) has a history of more than 2500 years and is the most typical and complete ancient city historical and cultural protection area in Suzhou. Until now, it has maintained a dual chessboard city pattern with parallel roads and rivers, preserving the characteristics of Jiangnan Water City with small bridges, flowing water, homes, and deep ancient alleys.
Go to: Yangcheng Lake is located in the northeast of Suzhou city, spanning Suzhou city, industrial parks, and Kunshan city. It is one of the important freshwater lakes in Jiangsu Province. Covering an area of 120 square kilometers, approximately 180000 acres, it is divided into West Lake, Central Lake, and East Lake. It borders Suzhou City to the south and Changshu Mountain to the north, just like its name suggests. The water quality of Yangcheng Lake is clear, and the sunlight shines through from afar. The oasis in the lake, Lotus Island, looks like a crystal clear jade.

Tour: [Tongli Ancient Town 5A] The only ancient town with a world cultural heritage site, a Chinese film and television shooting base, and a millennium old Jiangnan ancient town with small bridges and flowing houses (tour about 1.5 hours). Visit attractions such as Tuisi Garden, Liangtang (Jiayin Hall and Chongben Hall), Sanqiao (Taiping Bridge, Jili Bridge, Changqing Bridge), and experience the charm of the Jiangnan water town with "small bridges and flowing houses".
Experience: [Tea Tasting and Music Appreciation] Kunqu tea, as a major feature of Tongli Ancient Town, perfectly integrates the two treasures of traditional Chinese culture - Kunqu and tea culture. Walking into the first tea house in Jiangnan, while tasting fragrant tea, listening to the beautiful melody of Kunqu, makes people feel like they are in an antique landscape painting. At the same time, you can also share this unique cultural experience with friends or family in the same industry, and together experience the charm of traditional Chinese culture.
Tour: "Tuisi Garden" was listed as a World Cultural Heritage site in 2001. It is not only an outstanding representative of traditional Chinese garden art, but also an important material for studying the society, culture, and art of the Qing Dynasty. The park is decorated with the theme of "spring, summer, autumn, winter, qin, chess, calligraphy, and painting", and the scenery changes with each step, making it visible everywhere. This design not only reflects the artistic quality of the garden, but also contains profound cultural heritage.
