Private Day Tour: Suzhou & Zhouzhuang Water Village From Shanghai

This full day tour will give you an opportunity to see a rural setting as well as a different urban setting to what you saw in Shanghai. It will take you to visit one of the most beautiful gardens in China-Humble Administrators Garden which is located in Suzhou. It covering about 52,000 sq. metres, is the largest and most reknown of Suzhous famous gardens. Its unique design, ethereal beauty, and enduring cultural significance have seen it proclaimed a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You will also have the chance to enjoy the beautiful view of the water town Zhouzhuang on the cruise. Known as the Venice of the East and Chinas garden city, Suzhou is a city steeped in history and natural beauty. Located on the shores of Taihu, one of the largest freshwater lakes in China, and just south of the mighty Yangtze River, Suzhou is reknown for its waterside architecture, with many areas still preserving the network of canals and waterways that used to crisscross the city. However Suzhous greatest claim to fame, more so than its canals, is its classical gardens. These splendid gardens date back to the Ming dynasty and have since been regarded as paragons of Chinese classical garden design.
