The Suzhou water tour has been a part of history for thousands of years. The ancient-style buildings with white walls and black tiles, the gently swaying bamboo groves and willows, the winding and deep ancient paths, and the flower-adorned banks reflecting the shimmering water all create a dreamlike atmosphere under the glow of lights, allowing you to fully appreciate the ancient canal, the water-land city gates, and the ancient bridges along the towpath.
