This is #Suzhou# – a water town south of the Yangtze that has been flowing through the ages for over a millennium. Whitewashed walls and black-tiled roofs are set against small bridges and flowing streams; its classical gardens reveal changing vistas with every step, each concealing the ingenuity of Eastern aesthetics. The chime of the ancient temple bell still echoes across Maple Bridge, while the vibrant pulse of everyday life slowly unfurls amidst the glow of lanterns and the rhythm of oars. Why not slow down, seek elegance along winding paths that lead to serene retreats, savor the gentle charm while drifting through water lanes by oar, and encounter the poetic romance that belongs exclusively to Suzhou.
