Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Pass By: Tongli Town, Wujiang District, Suzhou 215217 China

Your first stop is the famous Tongli Water Town, which are well known for their bridges, rivers, and ancient house complexes.  It is divided into seven islands intersected by 15 canals. Because of the landscape, almost all of the buildings in the town are along the waterfront. In front of the buildings, small stairs leading to the canals were built, which are convenient for residents to wash clothes and for traveling around the town by boat. You seem to have come to the ancient China Town. You may have a chance to take a boat in the river by your own expense.

Pass By: Master-of-Nets Garden, No.11 Kuojiatou Alley, Daichengqiao Road, Canglang District, Suzhou 215006 China

After exploring the water town, drive to Suzhou city and have the local lunch before the next station. Enjoy some local snacks or specialities and have a short rest.

Pass By: Panmen Gate, No.1 East Street, Canglang District, Suzhou 215002 China

Then to visit Panmen Gate - the oldest city gate of Suzhou and the only existing water and land gate in China. Originally built during the Warring States Period in the state of Wu, historians estimate it to be around 2,500 years old. You’ll enjoy the enchanting view of the whole old town of Suzhou.

Pass By: Tuisi Garden, Tongli Town, Wujiang District, Suzhou 215200 China

Next to visit a Suzhou style garden - Garden of Master of Nets, although it’s the smallest of the Suzhou residential garden, yet it is the most impressive because of its use of space which creates the illusion of an area that is much greater than its actual size. 

The garden demonstrates Chinese garden designers' adept skills for synthesizing art, nature, and architecture to create unique metaphysical masterpieces. Don't miss it.

Afterwards, drive back to Shanghai and drop you off at centrally located hotel to conclude the Suzhou day trip.

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Tongli water village and Suzhou gardens. This was our groups second tour with Catherine Lu Tours. Our first was a 3 day private tour in beijing with Peter was tour guide. Ruby our guide and the driver met us at the hotel on time. Ruby was funny and engaging and chatted to us all throughout the tour. We moved through the tour at a comfortable pace and was never rushed. We managed to get many memorable photos. Lunch was delicious. Ruby selected a great restaurant for lunch and ordered for us. It was very reasonably priced. I would recommend Ruby and this tour group to anyone considering a private tour. The van was clean. We were given water. We all had a great time. There wasn't anything we would change.
