Board a beautifully decorated cruise ship and sail in the moat. A river of starlight is stirred up, as if shattering a colorful dream. The moat of Suzhou was excavated by Wu Zixu, a minister of the State of Wu during the Spring and Autumn Period. There are rich historical and cultural relics left on both sides of the moat surrounding the ancient city. Under the illumination of landscape lights, the plank road fences on one side of the city are resplendent at night, just like palaces in the sky. On the other side are the ancient folk houses in the style of white walls and black tiles in the old city district. At night, one can still faintly see the ancient charm of the misty willows, painted bridges, and wind-blown curtain and emerald veil of the ancient city. There are cruise ships available throughout the day, but especially the night cruise on the moat. The gorgeous lights along the shore are reflected in the rippling water waves and on the swaying willow branches, complementing the ancient city buildings of Suzhou perfectly and integrating into one, making people intoxicated. One can fully appreciate the softness and delicacy of the thousand-year-old ancient city of Suzhou. Opening hours: Open all year round from 18:00 to 20:30.
