Classical Gardens, History, and Bullet Trains in Suzhou

Nicknamed the Venice of the East due to its network of canals and traditional-style bridges, Suzhou's 2,500 year history sits alongside the modernity of the bullet train to Shanghai and towering structures of the business sector. Those interested in Chinese culture will enjoy exploring the many Buddhist temples, learning about the legends which inspired local landmarks, and discover the beauty of the classical gardens, which are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Suzhou's economy owes a lot to the manufacturing sector which includes iron, steel, IT, electronic equipment, and textiles. The city also has a large and growing tourism industry, which in turn has created a thriving services sector. With Shanghai nearby and lower operating costs, Suzhou also attracts foreign investment which the government assists with favorable tax policies.
