Description

Located in the Jiangnan water network zone, Suzhou is a well-known water town in the south of the Yangtze River. It has a pleasant scenery and a gathering of humanities. Since ancient times, it has the reputation of “there is paradise above, Suzhou and Hangzhou below”. Suzhou mainly takes “three ancients and one lake” (classical gardens, thousand-year-old city, water town and Taihu Lake scenery) as its unique tourism resources.

苏州地处江南水网地带，是著名的江南水乡，景色宜人，人文荟萃，自古就有“上有天堂，下有苏杭”之美誉。苏州主要以 “三古一湖”(古典园林、千年古城，水乡古镇和太湖风光）为其独特的旅游资源。
苏州是一座园林城市，现在仍保存完好的园林有70多处。苏州园林以“古、秀、精、雅、多” 而获得 “江南园林甲天下、苏州园林甲江南” 之盛誉。苏州园林被联合国教科文组织列为世界文化遗产。在苏州古城周围还有众多的水乡古镇，如周庄、同里、木渎等。这些古镇既有上千年的历史文化，又具典型的江南田园风光。
苏州古时又称“吴”。苏州古城始建于公元前514年，是世界上唯一经过2500 余年沧桑仍坐落在原址上的古城。苏州古城保持了 “水陆并行河街相邻 ” 及 “小桥、流水、人家”的水城风貌。
