The different between Chinese gardens with Western gardens 1. Chinese gardens are designed to asymmetry. 2. The landscape of Chinese gardens are designed as small scale of natural scenery that included mountains, rivers and forests. The rocks are symbol of mountains. The ponds or stream are symbol of river, lake. The plants are symbol of forest in the nature. 3. Keeping the plants in the garden as natural shape. Never trimming or pruning the plants like artificial shape. 4. The view of landscape will be variety when the people walk few meter away. 5. When you are inside the house, you will see the window view like a picture.

Have spent six years in Suzhou. Suzhou is my favorite city in China! Thank you for your filming, which recalls me some beautiful memory. I recommend you to go to the garden in autumn. This season many trees in Suzhou will become red or yellow. The scenery of garden will be more charming! Also, I guess you probably only visited the old city part of Suzhou. The new city of Suzhou called SIP would deserve to visit too. It probably has one of the best urban planning of new metropolitan area in China, which is entirely different to the image of an old city. It is so modern and clean, and less crowded. You should walk around the Jinji Lake and Dushu Lake in SIP. I promise you would never regret that.

If we are talking about Chinese water towns Suzhou can't hold a candle to Wuzhen. Suzhou's tower is cool and easy to get to therefore more touristy, but Wuzhen is way far more picturesque and authentic in every other aspect, if you only have a chance to visit one water town in China I'd definitely chose Wuzhen over Suzhou any day.

I love Suzhou 苏州。Home of the silk weaving. Did you check out the silk museum. The area is also famous for Osmanthus tea 桂花茶 one of my favourite sweet teas! I took a tour at the time and after seeing your video, I want to go back and spend 2 days there on my own to explore! The difference is that I went in the middle of winter and now I can see just how much more spectacular the city is during the warmer months. It's definitely very beautiful and scenic. Did you check out Master of Nets Garden, Tiger Hill and the Grand Canal? Personally, I enjoyed the older traditional feel of the canal town Zhujiajiao 朱家角 on the outskirts of Shanghai. I have pasted my description of Suzhou from my travel albums on Facebook: Situated on the lower reaches of the Yangtze River (Yangtze River Delta Region). Famous sites include Master of Nets Garden, Tiger Hill and the Grand Canal. The city is famous for silk production (rumoured to be amongst the best in China). Suzhou is one of the oldest towns in the Yangtze Basin. 2500 years ago during the Shang dynasty, local 'Gou Wu' tribes lived in the area that became the modern city. King Helu of Wu established the "Great City of Helu". In 496BC, the city was buried in Tiger Hill. Most of the architecture reflects the Tang Dynasty style.
