Your first stop is Shantang Street, also known as Seven-mile Shantang, located in the northwest of Suzhou. Stretching for approximately seven li (3.5 kilometers), this ancient street has long been a popular destination for both domestic and international tourists, who enjoy strolling along the canal and soaking in the picturesque views. Historically, due to its strategic location and convenient transportation by both land and water, Shantang Street thrived as a major center for trade and culture during the Ming and Qing dynasties, earning the title of “the No.1 Ancient Street in China.” Today, after renovations, it serves as a living showcase of Suzhou’s rich cultural heritage, often referred to as “a miniature of old Suzhou and a window into Wu culture.” The street’s beauty is immortalized in a famous folk song that praises it alongside Hangzhou’s West Lake, saying, “There is a paradise in heaven, but there are Suzhou and Hangzhou on the earth. Hangzhou has the West Lake, while Suzhou has Shantang.” As you explore, your guide will share the fascinating history and cultural significance of this iconic location, offering a deeper understanding of Suzhou’s timeless charm.
As we continue our journey through Suzhou, we arrive at the Master of Nets Garden, a place that captivates visitors, especially in the soft glow of the evening light. The garden showcases the extraordinary craftsmanship of Chinese garden designers, who expertly blend art, nature, and architecture to create metaphysical masterpieces. It is meticulously divided into three distinct sections: the residential area, the central main garden, and the inner garden. Each area offers a unique experience, harmoniously combining traditional Chinese design principles with natural elements. Particularly favored by international visitors, the garden is praised for its intricate design and remarkably well-preserved structure, making it one of the most ornate and intact private gardens in Suzhou. Such is the admiration for its beauty that some tourists have even offered large sums of money in an attempt to purchase it. During the visit, the guide will share the garden's fascinating history and design elements, ensuring an enriching and memorable experience for all.
After the tour of the garden, you'll be treated to a captivating Folk Dance and Music show set within the serene atmosphere of this classic garden. The performance highlights the richness of traditional Chinese music, which is divided into eight distinct sections: Pingtan, Kunqu Opera, Suzhou Opera, Guqin, Flute Music, Zither, Jiangnan Sizhu Music from the South, and Classical Dance. The traditional music lasts approximately one hour, offering a rich and immersive cultural experience. During the performance, the actors will greet you and provide insightful explanations about the different forms of music, the significance of opera, the intricate use of costumes, and the elaborate classical makeup. Each essential element will give you a deeper understanding of Chinese Opera and the unique cultural heritage of Suzhou, leaving you in awe of the beauty and depth of these traditions.
After finished that, your tour ends and our guide will take you back to your hotel in Suzhou downtown or Suzhou train station.
