Suzhou in China is often referred to as the Venice of the East due to its myriad network of canals that meander through the city. Suzhou holds the record for the largest number of gardens in China, the highlight of which is the classical garden. Learn about the Chinese garden culture at the Humble Administrator's Garden and Lingering Garden. The gardens are known for their exquisite pavilions, grand architecture, lush flowers, and trees. Visit the Suzhou Silk Museum to discover the country’s 7000-year tryst with silk, the life of silkworms, and the silk weaving process. Hike up Tiger Hill, one of the cultural symbols of Suzhou.
