10 Things to do Good for Couples in Suzhou That You Shouldn't Miss

May 22, 2021 Kiesha Cripe

Suzhou is a major city on the lower Yangtze known for its canals, bridges, pagodas, and beautiful gardens.  These gardens were built and owned by wealthy families and emperors hundreds of years ago, and make for a pleasant place to wander during nice weather. Suzhou is also a major center for silk production and manufacturing, and a tour of a silk factory here provides an interesting and educational glimpse of this Chinese textile industry. Suzhou is designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Six Arts Museum

Six Arts Museum is the Shanghai / Suzhou Region's most astonishing Ancient folk arts museum! Six Arts Museum is devoted to the environmentally friendly rescue, preservation and display of ancient Chinese arts. Located in the beautiful ancient water village of Lili, Six Arts Museum exhibits architectural pieces, stone and wood carvings, and other religious and official pieces from all across China!

One of the most amazing museums I have ever seen. Not that far from my Shanghai starting point in the beautiful river town of Lili. Starting with the eloquently finished exterior, the massive five floor building has been wrapped what must be millions of ancient bricks. The colors and lighting of Six Arts at night is jaw dropping. When you first walk in you immediately notice a giant wall of statues in niches from floor to ceiling and lit up with a showy display of lighting. The layers of details in the displays in the museum are truly incredible. You are walking in and through exhibits and are given the opportunity to interact with and touch most of it. It takes at least 2-3 hours to see all of the floors but I feel like I could have taken more to fully appreciate this museum. I actually met the owner who was delightful and very informative. The museum has new developments planned and he mentioned they will be opening a hotel soon. I strongly recommend this masterpiece to anyone traveling in China!!

Tongli Town

Reviewed By denisepeterr

You can really get a "feel" of this water town as you walk in and stroll the streets with crafts to witness from clothes, indigo dyed fabric (well, that is what I was interested in), ceramics and on to architecture and people. There is a charm and intimacy as one sees daily living in what is also a well served tourist town.

The Lingering Garden

A Brief Description of the Lingering Garden Located at the outer side of the Chang Gate and built in the 21st year of the reign of Wanli under the Ming Dynasty (AD 1593), the Lingering Garden is reputed to be one of the four most famous gardens of China. In 1961 it was listed from the very first as cultural relics of national importance. Since 1997 it has been inscribed on the World Cultural Heritage List. The Lingering Garden, covering 23,310 sq.m., is divided into the middle, eastern, western and northern parts. The middle part features fascinating landscapes and waterscapes. The eastern part is noted for its architectural beauties and limestone rockeries. The northern part is famed for its beautiful bonsai garden. And the western part boasts the mountain forest scenery and the delights of wilderness. Celebrated for its superb handling of architectural space and spatial relations, the Lingering Garden serves as a fine specimen of ancient Chinese garden and landscape design and reputably tops all the well-known gardens in Suzhou. The Lingering Garden provides English tour guide for free every hour since 2017. You can also choose to pay for a professional English guide with different guiding route or a guiding machine. Hope that during your short stay here, you can not only satisfy your eyes, but also experience the real Chinese culture and have a better understanding of our philosophy.

On our entire trip to China, The Lingering Gardens at Suzhou, was one of the most memorable places we visited. The extent of the Lingering Gardens is difficult to describe. The Gardens, seemingly, went on and on and there was another lovely fascinating sight around each corner of the winding paths. Meticulously groomed, cleaned (constantly) and maintained, the whole Gardens were beautiful, whether you were looking at rock gardens, winding paths, ponds or fish pools, little bridges, or flowering plants, trees, and shrubs! How could so many things still be in bloom in November? I think my favorite things were the extensive bonzai tree collection in their area. All old (ancient?) and perfectly groomed, they seemed like silent sentinels of the past left for us to view and appreciate now in modern times. Even the bathrooms were works of art and the finest examples of WC's that we saw anywhere during our trip! The entire group decided that the Lingering Gardens WC's were Five-Star! DO NOT miss a visit to the Lingering Gardens if you are anywhere in the area. They are exquisite and I wish that we had several days to more fully explore the Gardens than the too short time that our group tour schedule allowed. The Lingering Gardens was definitely as high as the Great Wall and Terra Cotta Warriors in my esteem!

Humble Administrator's Garden

Reviewed By MattwalesNorthWales - Chengdu, China

This is one of the four most important gardens in China. Perfectly preserved and well maintained. Shows off the ancient Chinese fixation with stone formations and meaning. Great use of water with crisscrossing pathways shaded vantage points and focus on colour. Lovely collection of mature bonsais and plenty of opportunities to relax and unwind in a tranquil space despite the number of people. A highly recommended way to spend a couple of hours.
