Just 30 minutes by bullet train from Shanghai to the 'Venice of the East,' Suzhou. The World Heritage Humble Administrator's Garden, I.M. Pei's Suzhou Museum, the canal-side Pingjiang Road old street, and the Shantang Street night view — the essence of Jiangnan water towns in a day. The top first-time day trip.
