About This Tour
Hi, I’m Mao! Suzhou is my hometown, a picturesque riverside city known as “Venice of the East”. Joining my day tour, you will be able to escape from the crowds at famous tourist attractions and personally explore a hidden ancient water town, experience traditional Su-style cuisine made using ancient methods, visit stunning the “water temple”, cycle or just relax by the beautiful lake, and enjoy Chinese wine/tea tasting with me.
