Private Guided Day Tour of Suzhou Hanshan Temple, Humble Administrator's Garden, and Shantang Street

Hanshan Temple
  • Listen to the ancient bells at Hanshan Temple and appreciate the poetic mood of “midnight bell tolls reaching the passenger ships.” Explore the Jiangnan water town scenery of the Humble Administrator’s Garden and appreciate the exquisite charm of Suzhou’s classical gardens. Stroll along Shantang Street, and experience the local customs and ancient charm of the millennium-old street.

What to expect

In the morning, depart from Suzhou city center, with the first stop at Hanshan Temple. Hanshan Temple is famous for Zhang Ji's poem "A Night Mooring Near Maple Bridge." The simple and unadorned architecture and tranquil atmosphere inspire awe. Standing inside the temple, you can enjoy a distant view of the river, listen to the sound of the ancient bell, and feel the poetic sentiment of "Outside Gusu city is Hanshan Temple, the midnight bell tolls reaching the traveler's boat."

Next, head to the Humble Administrator's Garden. The Humble Administrator's Garden is the first of Suzhou's four great gardens. Its elegant and generous Jiangnan water town style and exquisite garden layout are breathtaking. Stepping into the garden, the rockeries, ponds, flowing water, flowers, trees, and buildings complement each other, as if you are in a beautiful ink painting, making you linger.

Finally, head to Shantang Street. Shantang Street is a thousand-year-old street with ancient buildings and the atmosphere of the common people, making you feel as if you have traveled back to ancient times. Strolling through it, the ancient shops and residences on both sides allow you to feel the ancient charm of Suzhou. You can taste local snacks and buy souvenirs (at your own expense).

After a wonderful day trip, a private car will take you back to Suzhou city center.
