Meals: Buffet breakfast, Special Lunch (Suzhou Cuisine)

In the morning, take a car ride to Suzhou, which is known as the "Venice of the East". Suzhou is a 2,500-year-old city renowned the world over for its traditional gardens, ancient canals and silk production. In 1997 Suzhou's classic garden was designated an UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Upon arrival, you will visit the Lingering Garden, which is known as one of the “Four Famous Classic Gardens” in China, and was listed as the World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO in 1997. The garden was built in the year of 1593. As a classic example of the refined art of gardening in ancient China, it highlights the delicate courtyard, magnificent halls, the green mountain, clear water and luxuriant trees.

Then head to the Surging Wave Pavilion (built in 1045 AD). Being the oldest extant garden in Suzhou, it has retained its original feature of "luxuriant plants, tall mountain, and expansive waters". Its natural scenery and simple design have earned the fame of "a mountain forest in urban surroundings".

Enjoy your special lunch in the time-honored Songhelou Restaurant. It provides the most authentic Suzhou Cuisine, such as the famous Sour and Sweet Squirrel-shaped Mandarin Fish.
 

Continue to take a small boat trip along the Grand Canal and get close to the world's oldest and longest canal.
 

Later, drive back to Shanghai.
