Region Overview

This tour flows through the poetic water towns and lakeside cities of the lower Yangtze Delta. Suzhou, often called the "Venice of the East," is full of ancient canals, beautiful bridges, and private gardens from imperial times. It’s elegant and quiet, a place that values balance and design. From there, you'll float into Wuzhen, one of China’s best-preserved water towns. The town is a maze of stone streets, arched bridges, and wooden houses perched over water — especially magical at night. Finally, you'll arrive in Hangzhou, where rolling tea hills surround the tranquil West Lake. These cities are deeply connected to Chinese poetry, art, and slow living. If you're drawn to peaceful beauty, historical villages, and the sound of water everywhere — this region is a dream. It's also perfect for couples, photographers, or travelers who prefer serenity over speed.
