Guided Tour of Suzhou city

Leave Shanghai behind when our private driver picks you up to transport you across the sweeping countryside to the historical city of Suzhou.
The capital of Wu culture over 800 years ago, Suzhou is a UNESCO World Heritage Site crossed by ancient moats, unique canals, and historic buildings.
You'll learn more about how these canals were built as you walk to the Humble Administrator's Garden, a stunning complex of bridges, bushes, and overflowing with flowers at every turn.
Uncover the history of the core surrounded by a moat that still sits at the center of this now modern city as you tour the residential quarters and pavilions that dot the garden.
Enjoy lunch at a traditional local restaurant and taste some of the region's cuisine before you make your way to Shantang Street, a prime example of a southern Chinese water town with incredibly preserved traditional architecture.
Visit the nearby Opera Stage and Boat museum, and then take a cruise down the Grand Canal to take another look at stunning Suzhou.
Continue to the Suzhou Silk Museum that details the history of silk in ancient China and its current status, shows off how silk is created and woven, displays numerous intricate patterns, and dives into the role silk has played in Chinese culture and trade.
After your museum visit, you'll be returned to your Shanghai hotel by our private driver.
