About Suzhou
Suzhou is a city in Jiangsu province just outside of Shanghai. It is famed for its beautiful gardens and traditional waterside architecture. The Classical Gardens of Suzhou were inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1997.
Suzhou was the capital of the kingdom of Wu from the 12th to 4th centuries BC. Historically, it has been the origin of Wu culture, which later nurture the city of Shanghai.
Today, Suzhou has become a core city of China's Yangtze River Delta economic zone, given its high GDP contribution to China. More recently, it has been a center of the silk trade and a place of gardens and canals. Suzhou has long been a haven for scholars, artists, and skilled craftsmen, and this is still the case today.
Suzhou is very much a water town- it's thoroughly criss-crossed with canals and bridges- and you can still see traces of a very old lifestyle centered on the canals.
