Our trip to Suzhou and Tongli Ancient Town was a fantastic way to experience the charm of both places in one day. We began at the Master of the Nets Garden, where the peaceful atmosphere and beautiful design immediately captivated us. Our guide shared fascinating details about the garden’s history and design, which made the visit even more meaningful. Afterward, we explored Shantang Street, a charming area full of traditional architecture and local shops.

In Tongli, we visited Tuisi Garden, known for its peaceful beauty, and crossed the iconic Three Bridges, each offering picturesque views of the canals. We also had a chance to explore the historical Chongben and Jiayin Halls, which were full of cultural significance. The boat ride along the canals was the perfect way to see the town’s beauty from the water. Our guide was excellent, and the driver made the day smooth and enjoyable. A must-do tour for anyone wanting to experience the beauty and culture of Suzhou and Tongli!
