Suzhou, China's Venice of the East 🏮 | Gardens, Canals & Amazing Food

Suzhou was one of the highlights of our China trip! Known as the "Venice of the East", Suzhou is famous for its classical Chinese gardens, ancient water towns, picturesque canals, and rich Jiangnan culture. In this vlog, we spent 3 unforgettable days exploring some of the city's most iconic sights, wandering through centuries-old streets, visiting historic temples, and enjoying delicious local cuisine. From the peaceful gardens of Suzhou to the charming waterways of Tongli Ancient Town, every corner of this city felt like stepping into a traditional Chinese painting. ✨ Highlights from this trip: • Staying at the beautiful Pan Pacific Suzhou • Visiting the UNESCO-listed Humble Administrator's Garden • Exploring the historic canals of Pingjiang Road • Trying Suzhou's famous squirrel-shaped mandarin fish • Wandering through the charming Tongli Ancient Town • Seeing the iconic Leaning Pagoda at Tiger Hill • Experiencing the lively atmosphere of Qili Shantang at night 📍 Places featured (links shared are for the amap app, which I used for navigation in China): 2:32 苏州吴宫泛太平洋酒店 Pan Pacific Suzhou: https://surl.amap.com/45q4htA1u2gp 4:00 西园寺 Xiyuan Temple: https://surl.amap.com/yB8gXkMc1y 5:43 拙政园 Humble Administrator's Garden: https://surl.amap.com/3vcfRwe16dn8 6:55 平江路 Pingjiang Road: https://surl.amap.com/iRghpxkogjt 7:40 姑苏家宴 Gu Su Jia Yan (squirrel-shaped mandarin fish, dongpo pork): https://surl.amap.com/14ltwyu197cK 8:37 盘门景区 Panmen Scenic Area: https://surl.amap.com/14zSHLAw9pQ 10:09 苏州同里古镇旅游区 Tongli Ancient Town: https://surl.amap.com/5j65oUr7Q0my 12:14 虎丘山风景区 Tiger Hill: https://surl.amap.com/9hxr5kmh72s 13:04 瑞面 Rui Noodles: https://surl.amap.com/14XHcqK1rf1W 13:57 七里山塘景区 Qili Shantang: https://surl.amap.com/3yjFC4y1Aeae Music: 1.
