A city of beauty, trade and culture
Suzhou is one of China’s most beautiful cities. Canals, stone bridges and old streets meet a long tradition of commerce, silk, poetry and scholars’ gardens. Its classical gardens are recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The classical gardens
Small worlds of nature, philosophy and architecture
The gardens were designed as complete worlds in miniature: ponds, rocks, bridges, pavilions, framed windows and winding paths for reflection and rest.
The Lingering Garden
One of China’s most celebrated gardens. Ponds, pavilions and small bridges are arranged so that almost every view resembles a classical Chinese painting.
Master of the Nets Garden
A small, intimate garden that creates a sense of space through perspective, narrow passages, framed windows and pools reflected against white walls.
Pingjiang Road
Lanes, canals and the rhythms of the old city
A stone street beside a canal, with small bridges, teahouses, shops and slow boats. It offers an easy glimpse of old Suzhou and of the canals that once served as the city’s main roads.
