Know Some More About Suzhou:
The beautifully landscaped city of Suzhou is located in the center of the Yangtze Delta region and is renowned for its classic gardens, traditional waterside architecture, and traditional operas.
Suzhou was a prosperous ancient state capital, built-in 514 BC by He Lv, the King of Wu State. It grew in favor with China's dynasties - a summer retreat of emperors, and a well-placed trade center.
As the saying goes, "Gardens in the 'Yangtze South' area are the best in the world, and Suzhou gardens are the best among them." Suzhou's classical gardens have an international reputation. The classic gardens flourished in the mid-Ming to early-Qing dynasties (1500–1700). Most gardens are private ones built by aristocrats, scholars, and rich businessmen.
Today, more than 60 classic gardens remain in the city, nine of which have been listed as World Heritage, including the Humble Administrator's Garden, Lingering Garden, and Net Master's Garden.
Suzhou is located between Shanghai and Nanjing. Suzhou Railway Station is among the busiest passenger stations in China. The Shanghai–Nanjing/Beijing–Shanghai high-speed railways pass through Suzhou. There are frequent high-speed trains from Suzhou to Shanghai, Kunshan, Wuxi, Zhenjiang, and Nanjing. It only takes 25 minutes to Shanghai, less than 1½ hours to Nanjing, and 5 hours to Beijing.
The best times to visit Suzhou are March-May and September–November when the weather is pleasant.
You'd better visit on a weekday as it will be less crowded than on a weekend and holidays. Less than an hour away by high-speed train, Suzhou has become a weekend hangout for Shanghai folk, and the streets can be crowded.
