Suzhou, China

Music & Arts Tour in Suzhou

Suzhou's creative pulse is felt in its streets — in the music drifting from open doors, the murals on unexpected walls, and the galleries tucked into neighborhoods that guidebooks overlook. Walking is the only way to find them.

Suzhou is China's city of classical gardens and canals, where UNESCO-listed scholar gardens, silk heritage, and whitewashed canal-side lanes have earned it the nickname 'Venice of the East' for centuries.
