There's a Chinese rhymed saying 'Above is heaven, below is Suzhou and Hangzhou'. Unlike the natural beauty of Hangzhou, Suzhou is much more historical and elaborative. The city has been taking an important role in Chinese history for over 2500 years but still keeps elegant today. It's renowned for the ancient gardens, river towns, Kun opera and silk embroidery etc.

Take around 35 minutes by bullet train from Shanghai Railway Station to Suzhou Railway Station.
Go to the The No. 1 sight in Suzhou called Tiger Hill standing out with legend stories, tilting tower, bamboo grove and tea plantation, or the No. 1 traditional garden, the Humble Administrator's Garden to have a feel of the elaborately designed layout based on Chinese traditional aesthetics, and then take taxi to Shantang ancient street. Finally, visit the Silk Museum divided into several parts connected by the symbolizing ancient Silk Road, where we'll see weaving girls in ancient costumes demonstrating the procedure.
Inside the city we can find the traditional Jiang'nan (lower reaches to the Yangtze River) style architecture everywhere. We also have chance to taste the famous local noodles, sweet & sour pork balls and other more flavors.
Take the train back to Shanghai.
If you prefer a private car for a round trip you'd pay over USD100 in addition. |
