Suzhou is famous for the water towns around it and its traditional Chinese gardens, like Humble Administrator's Garden.
Suzhou's gardens harmoniously mix man-made landscapes with natural scenery: architecture, painting, calligraphy, and horticulture are combined, and enclosed like pearls by walls.
China's water towns hold the quintessential image of traditional Chinese villages. Centuries-old wooden houses lining crisscrossing canals, arched stone bridges, and people in bamboo hats punting sampans, form the unique charm of the ten or so water towns around Suzhou. The most popular ones are Zhouzhuang (very commercial), Xitang, and Tongli.
30 minutes by high-speed train from Shanghai, 5 hours from Beijing, it is very convenient to combine Beijing, Shanghai, and Suzhou in a tour.
