Tour Itinerary


Highlights:

After pick up at the railway station (if requested), we will head out to the Lingering Garden, one of four most famous private gardens in China. Built approx. 400 years ago, the garden has everything a southern private garden came to be known for - petite, man-made lakes with decks on which pavillions stand, exotic rocks/stones placed amidst lush vegetation - all in an attempt to "shrink down" and squeeze vast areas of beauty into a single garden.

Han Shan Temple, our next stop, has been immortalized in the poem "Mooring for the Night at Fengqiao Bridge" by the Tang poet, Zhang Ji. And many flock here simply to admire the locale mentioned in their elementary school poem recital classes. Aside from evoking nostalgia, the temple is home to stone tablets with inscriptions from MANY famous patricians, poets, literatis etc. from China's past.

After a relaxing lunch, we will go on to visit Master of Nets Garden, another one of the "famous four". Its, along with Lingering Garden's, simple elegance has been emulated by private gardens throughout China.

We will end the tour with a visit to a local silk spinning mill where you will be able to see the production of the famed Suzhou silk at close range.

- Transportation and 1 meal included.
