Firstly, visit the Lingering Garden, one of the Four Great Gardens of China, incorporating all the classic features of Suzhou gardens. Afterwards, take a stroll to the Shantang Ancient Street to experience the trading and cultural centre of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

In the afternoon, you will embark on a journey to explore Suzhou's Tiger Hill, which is rich in historical sites. As Su Shi, a famous poet of the Song Dynasty (960-1279), said, "If you have been to Suzhou and have not been to Tiger Hill, it is really a regret of your life." There is also the Sword Pond, which is said to be the place where King He Lu of Wu tested and buried his treasured sword 2,500 years ago. In addition to its rich historical heritage, Tiger Hill is also an excellent place to take a walk, admire the natural scenery and experience local customs.

Afterwards, you will proceed to Suzhou No.1 Silk Factory to witness the magical transformation of silk from silkworm to finished product and gain a deeper understanding of the history and culture of Chinese silk.
