What you can expect

Take a journey to the waterside city of Suzhou close to the eastern shore of Lake Taihu where the Grand Canal joins the Yangtze River. Experience unforgettable views of stone architecture, wander through labyrinth-like gardens, and learn why the town is an important centre for China's silk industry.

Get picked up from your hotel and reach the port of Suzhou—a popular site because of its fascinating historic architecture in the form of bridges and pagodas set on the water. Hop out of the vehicle and snap some photos of the snaking canals, pools, and island, connected by postcard-perfect zigzag bridges. Travel to Tiger Hill, named such because of its likeness to the shape of a crouching tiger. Enter through decorated gates and take a stroll around the hill, discovering impressive structures, including seven-story Yunyan Pagoda.

Next, see the natural wonder of Master of Nets Garden. The UNESCO World Heritage Site is skilfully designed to mix features of art, nature, and architecture to create a truly enveloping experience. After this, head to the Silk Factory, where you begin to understand the importance of silk in Suzhou's history and why the city continues to be a prominent producer of the luxurious fabric today. Finish your full-day trip at the Leoh Ming Pei-designed Suzhou Museum.
