Classical gardens designed centuries ago as three-dimensional paintings you walk through, canals that earned the city its old nickname as the Venice of the East, and silk workshops still weaving by hand a short walk from the water.
The best time to visit Suzhou is Mar–May, Sep–Nov, when typical daytime highs reach about 23°C (74°F).
