These three gardens together capture the essence of Suzhou's classical garden art.

What day trips can I take from Suzhou?

The full-day tours from Suzhou go to Tongli Water Town, where you can see the Tuisi Garden, a classic example of a Jiangnan water town. Other tours cover Suzhou's own classical gardens and food scene, or offer a flexible private car itinerary.

A day trip to the nearby water town of Zhouzhuang is also a common choice, known for its canals and bridges.

Plan 2 to 3 days for Suzhou. In two days, you can visit the Humble Administrator's Garden and Lion Grove Garden, plus a classical garden like 留园, and explore the old city.
