What to Expect

China isn’t all concrete and steel. It’s full of scenic beauty both natural and man-made as well. This full-day tour is the best way to get out of the crowded city and enjoy some greenery and ancient Chinese history. Suzhou was a center of commerce and the beginning point of the famous silk road. Besides the fact that it remains an important center of silk-production and art today, it is also a place of surpassing charm and refinement. Suzhou is home to several idyllic gardens and famous historic sites which we will explore in detail. After we finish our time in Suzhou, we will stop at Zhou Zhuang on our way back into the city. Zhou Zhuang is an ancient water town with a rustic, yet perfect Chinese ambiance. It’s a great place for us to relax and wind down our day. I guarantee that by the end of the day you will return to Shanghai feeling refreshed and reinvigorated.
