Built in 514 BC, Suzhou is an ancient city with a 2, 500 years' history. The unique characteristics of the past are still retained in present-day Suzhou. The double-chessboard layout of Suzhou, with 'the streets and rivers go side by side while the water and land routes run in parallel', are preserved basically intact. Strolling the streets, you can feel the unique lingering charm of this landscape left by its long history.
Renowned as "Venice of the East" and "Heaven on Earth", Suzhou is famous for its unique, elegant gardens, its network of rivers and canals, and its silk production. The water towns near the city are the must-see and highlights.
