Upon arrival, we will immediately accompany you to tour the Humble Administrator's Garden, which is a classical garden full of graceful scenes. Situated in the northeast of Suzhou, the graceful Humble Administrator's Garden is the largest and best-known classical garden in the city. With a history of over 500 years, it was originally built in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) exquisitely and quaintly and has become a representation of Chinese private gardens. From a panoramic perspective, Humble Administrator's Garden can be divided into eastern, western and central parts, and they focus on lush greeneries and blooming flowers, delicate galleries and long corridors, fine and distinctive buildings in respective areas.

Then, we will go sightseeing through the Suzhou old town. Sitting on the tricycle, you can have a nice glimpse of the ancient constructions existing over the years within the old block.

After lunch, you will be guided to the Tongli Ancient Town. Due to the long history and thoughtful preservation, Tongli is a wonderful place where people can appreciate the glamour and charm of the water town along the Yangtze River in China. Tongli is a picturesque and time-honored town embedded with a net of waterways. There, people can see 49 ancient bridges and 7 small isles segmented by the rivers and their branches. Strolling along the flagstone walkways around Tongli Town, you can find that almost all the folk dwellings are constructed at the water's edge with many boats berthing in the front. Here, the classic Retreat and Reflection Garden (Tuisi Garden) is a highlight with almost all the buildings inside standing by the jasper-like pond.

At the end, your guide will escort you to your hotel lobby with a comfortable transfer. Your memorable day trip ends here.
