The Venice of China. Take a look at the old world charm and enjoy the old town and it’s walkways and eateries. Take a boat ride along the waterways of yesteryear...
Came on April 15, 2019. The ancient canal cruise is a highly recommended excursion project in Suzhou. Suzhou has an honor of "China's only", that is, it is the only city in China that has not been moved since its establishment. According to legend, since Wu Zixu built Helv City, the size and location of this city have remained basically unchanged, which is also rare in the world. The current ancient canal has always been the moat of Suzhou City. The tour of the ancient canal starts at 17:30 every evening. Board the ship from Xinshiqiao Pier. The ship will start when it is full. The boat first drove north to Xumen and turned around, then drove along the ancient canal to Shemen, and then returned to Xinshiqiao Wharf. The whole process took more than 1 hour. Sitting on the boat to enjoy the scenery along the coast, the staff on the boat will introduce you to some important scenic spots and related allusions, which can help visitors deepen their understanding of the historical heritage of Suzhou City. In addition, there is a Suzhou Pingtan show on the cruise, which is authentic.
Yesterday, the time-lapse photography taken at the Suzhou Grand Canal was not bad. Walked along the river, took a few photos, and blew the wind. Especially watching the sunset and sunset on the bridge, and the night scenes are very beautiful. A lot of photographers are taking pictures in good weather.
To travel to Suzhou, the ancient canal at night is a major feature. You can book tickets online and go to the dock to take a cruise on time, which is very convenient. There is an instructor on the cruise ship to introduce the history of the bridges on the ancient canal. You can also enjoy the Pingtan performance and the night view on both sides of the strait. After the tour, you can continue to walk along the moat and river fitness trail 🚶♀️🚶♀️
Suzhou, "there is paradise above, Suzhou and Hangzhou below". As long as you stay in Suzhou for two or three days, walk in the alleys and bridges of Suzhou, you will experience the beauty of Suzhou in paradise. The old bridge, the new bridge, and the canal flow under the old bridge. Since ancient times, the canal made Suzhou a prosperous city.
