There’s no better way to immerse yourself in the rich history of Suzhou than by gliding through its ancient canals. Located in Jiangsu Province, Suzhou’s old quarter offers a glimpse into China’s past, and traveling by traditional boat brings the experience to life.
Much like the gondolas of Venice, these canal boats are piloted by skilled navigators using a single, long oar attached to the back. The pilots expertly push and pull in a figure-eight motion, propelling the boat smoothly along the waterways. It’s a unique journey that showcases the timeless beauty of Suzhou’s waterways and architecture.
