Detailed Itinerary

Drive to Suzhou to visit Lion Grove Garden. Lion Grove Garden is one of the four most famous and representative gardens of ancient classical style in Suzhou City. Built in the Yuan Dynasty, the garden is famous for its rockeries. In the courtyard you can see several piles of Taihu rocks shaped like lions, frogs, crabs or oxen. The ornamental pavilions and towers in different styles are also worth to visit.

Then visit Garden of the Master of the Nets. Garden of the Master of the Nets is the smallest but the most impressive one among the gardens in Suzhou. Because of its efficient space utilization, the garden creates an illusion of much more spacious than its real size. It is focused on a lake and decorated with plants, rocks, pavilions, and stone bridges.

Move on to visit Suzhou Museum. The museum has more than 40,000 pieces in its collections, mainly are unearthed relics, paintings and calligraphy of Ming and Qing Dynasty, and ancient crafts. The Prince Zhong's Mansion in the museum is the best–preserved historical building during the period of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom (1851-1864). The building is decorated with colorful carvings and paintings.

Visit Shantan Ancient Street.
