One day in Suzhou: Make the Most Out of 24 Hours in China’s Classical City

Looking to explore one of the most beautiful and well-preserved cities in all of china here’s how to make the most of one day in suzhou.

Suzhou is an ancient city located in the southeast of China’s Jiangsu Province. It has a long history and culture, dating back thousands of years ago.

Suzhou was once known as “The Venice of the East” for its beautiful classical gardens and canals that crisscross through the city center. Today it is a popular tourist destination in China for travelers who want to experience the laid-back vibes of this ancient city.

With so much to see and do in this gem of China , it can be difficult to know where to start when planning a trip here.

But with just one day in Suzhou, you could still make the most out of your time in this vibrant Chinese city with this itinerary!

One day in Suzhou

One day in suzhou: 7 top-rated things to do.

The best way to get to Suzhou is by taking the fast train. I recommend booking your tickets through Trip.com !

>> Book Your Fast Train Ticket to Suzhou! <<

1. Visit a Couple of the Classical Gardens

Suzhou is known for its 5 classical gardens, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. When you spend one day in Suzhou, you cannot miss out on visiting a couple of the well-known gardens: Humble Administrator Garden, Lingering Garden, Lion Grove, Master of the Nets, or Canglang Pavilion.

• The Humble Administrator Garden is the largest and most well-known of the classical gardens. This particular garden is known for the design of its landscapes, pavilions, and connected pools. You can easily spend up to 3 hours in this garden.
• The Lingering Garden is the best preserved of the gardens and is known for its architecture. This garden has the most structures and beautiful rock formations. You can see everything in the Lingering Garden in under 2 hours.
• Lion Grove is best known for its labyrinth of rock formations, pavilions, and towers. This garden gets its name from the formations of the rock, which tend to look like lions. Plan to spend about 2 hours here.
• The Master of the Nets Garden is the smallest of all the classical gardens in Suzhou. You’ll notice this garden has beautiful landscaping and represents the Chinese culture well with displays of Chinese musical instruments. You can see the Master of the Nets Garden in about 1 hour.
• The Canglang Pavillion is the oldest of the 5 classical gardens and has fewer visitors than the others. Instead of high walls, the Canglang Pavillion is surrounded by a lake on the north and mountains on the south side.

To make the most of your time, my personal recommendation is to visit The Humble Administrator Garden and either the Canglang Pavillion or the Master of the Nets Garden.

2. See the Silk Museum

Suzhou is also renowned for its long-standing tradition of producing fine silk fabrics. Visit the Suzhou Silk Museum to learn about the history of Chinese silk production in the city and take a tour of a traditional workshop.

You’ll also learn the history of how the Chinese have used silk over the years, from creating silk dresses to embroidery by spending 1-2 hours here.

3. Grab Lunch on Guan Qian Shopping Street

After a busy morning of sightseeing, it’s time to grab lunch at one of the many eateries on Guan Qian Shopping Street. This street is lined with shops selling all sorts of souvenirs, so you can pick up a few gifts for friends back home.

But even more than shopping, stop at Guan Qian Street for street food. You can head to Yaba Pan-Fried Bun Shop to grab some pan-fried buns that have a crisp outer shell and a soupy center.

If you sit down at a restaurant in Suzhou, be sure to try the sweet and sour exploding fish, called guiyu in Mandarin, where the deboned fish is covered in batter and fried with a sweet and sour sauce. Yum!

4. Explore Ruiguang Tower

Once you’re done with lunch, head to the nearby Ruiguang Tower. This tower was built in the Song Dynasty and is one of the best-preserved buildings in Suzhou. It was once in disrepair but has since then been renovated. Today you can climb up the narrow stairs to reach the top of this 60-meter-tall structure and take in views of the city from above.

Ruiguang Tower is also surrounded by beautiful gardens and ponds full of koi fish where you can feed them after your climb up the 7 flights of stairs.

5. Visit the Suzhou Museum

With free admission to the Suzhou Museum, head here to see one of the largest collections of Chinese artifacts and antiques. This museum is known for its impressive traditional architecture, and you can spend about an hour here browsing through the 15,000 artifacts of Chinese culture, art, and history.

6. Ride a Boat on the Canals near Piangjiang Road

Take a break from sightseeing and enjoy a peaceful boat ride along the canals near Piangjiang Road. The canals of Suzhou were once the lifeblood of this city, and you’ll get a glimpse into the past as you float along the tranquil waters.

Catch views of old bridges, historic buildings, and lush greenery as you drift along. This is an easy way to get great views of Suzhou’s classical gardens, and you can even embark on a guided tour with one of the many boat companies in the area.

>> Book Your Boat Ride in the Canals of Suzhou! <<

7. Explore Shangtang Street

Shangtang Street is a bustling pedestrian street lined with shops, restaurants, teahouses, and souvenir stands. Stop by one of the traditional teahouses for a cup of freshly brewed tea and people-watch as you stroll along this vibrant street.

Shangtang Street stretches about 2 miles and is similar to Pianjiang Road, but is best known for its nightlife, so you’ll want to stop here at the end of your one day in Suzhou.

As you can see, there is no shortage of things to do when you have just one day in Suzhou! From visiting the classical gardens to going for a relaxing boat ride along the canals, you will be sure

More Time? Options to Extend Your One Day in Suzhou

If you have more time to spend in Suzhou, there is so much more to see!

Stroll Along Jinji Lake

A 30-minute drive away, head to the Suzhou Industrial Park for a leisurely afternoon stroll along Jinji Lake, China’s largest city lake. Walk around Lakeside Avenue the Harmony Sculpture or visit the highest above-water Ferris Wheel in China.

You can also walk around Moonlight Harbor and have a panoramic view of the lake as well as European architecture filled with restaurants and shops.

Hike up Tiger Hill

One of the most iconic sights in Suzhou is Tiger Hill, known as Hu Qiu in Mandarin and often referred to as the leaning tower of Pisa in China. This site is an ancient hill with a 7-story and 8-sided pagoda located on top. The hill is said to have been named after the King of Wu who died of war and came back as a white tiger 3 days later.

Today, you can hike the stairs to get to Tiger Hill for great views and plenty of Chinese history. It’s about a 30-minute drive from the city center of Suzhou.

Visit Tongli Water Town

Tongli Water Town is about 40 minutes south of the center of Suzhou and is worth exploring. Surrounded by 5 lakes, Tongli Water Town is filled with old bridges that connect the islets of this small town.

There are more gardens to explore such as the Retreat and Reflection Garden or visit the Three Bridges, which is a popular highlight as walking on the bridges in order from Jili Bridge, Taiping Bridge, to Changqing Bridge is known to bring good luck!

Explore ZhouZhuang Water Town

Visit ZhouZhuang, another water town in Suzhou, which is about a 50-minute drive from the city center of Suzhou. ZhouZhuang is another very popular water town and is often favored by European travelers.

Walk across the double bridge, also known as Shuangqiao, which was painted by Chen Yifei, a famous Chinese artist. You can also visit numerous historic houses–that of Chen Yifei, wear costumes at Zhang’s House (Zhangting), or the wealthy home of the Shen family (Shenting).

How to Get to and Around Suzhou

To get to Suzhou, the most convenient method is by train . The city has several railway stations including Suzhou Railway Station, Suzhou New District Railway Station, and South Station.

The high-speed rail from Shanghai usually takes around 30 minutes while slower trains might take up to two hours. You can also take a bus from Shanghai to Suzhou. Buses leave from Shanghai South Long-Distance Bus Station and take approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes.

Once you’re in Suzhou, it is a highly walkable city. You can walk around the canals and easily get from the gardens to the museums. However, other places like Jinji Lake may require a taxi.

It’s important that you have access to maps while you’re spending one day in Suzhou. You can always use Bing, which is China’s Google. Or I highly recommend getting a VPN to be able to use Google Maps on your day of exploration.

My #1 go-to VPN is ExpressVPN, which provides security, coverage, and fast internet. Sign up with ExpressVPN and get your first month free!

When is the Best Time to Visit Suzhou

The best time to visit Suzhou is during the autumn months of September and October. You’ll experience comfortable temperatures in the low 70s, allowing you to explore all of the attractions while avoiding heat exhaustion.

During these months, you can also attend festivals like Mid-Autumn Festival or Mooncake Festival which are celebrated during this season. It’s also a great time to visit the Classical Gardens when they are in full bloom.

Overall, Suzhou has something to offer all year round and is worth a visit no matter what season you’re planning your trip!

What to Eat for One Day in Suzhou

With so many Chinese dishes to order in China , you can grab food as you go or head on over to a restaurant to try out Suzhou’s food scene.

☀️ The weather in Suzhou is usually mild and humid throughout the year so make sure to wear lightweight clothing. A sunhat , sunscreen , and sunglasses are also key items to protect you from skin damage due to prolonged exposure to the sun’s rays.

🎒 You’ll also want to have a day bag or fanny pack on you to keep your personal belonging and hold any souvenirs you happen to buy.

👟 Exploring Suzhou on foot is the best way to experience all of its attractions. Make sure to bring comfortable walking shoes that are also suitable for wet pavement, as some areas may be more prone to flooding during rainy seasons.

📸 Suzhou offers picturesque scenery and sites so make sure to pack a camera to capture all the beauty you’ll encounter in this classical city! If your phone is your camera, make sure to have an unlocked iPhone !

🧻 Packages of wet wipes are also useful for cleaning your hands when there aren’t any bathrooms nearby. It’s also not a bad idea to have tissues on hand when you do find the bathrooms!

🪫 Finally, bring a portable charger for your electronic devices throughout the day so that you never run out of juice!

If you are indeed spending more than one day in Suzhou, there are numerous options for you! I would recommend sticking close to the Old Town of Suzhou so that you can walk to all the highlights in Suzhou.
