Situated in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, with Shanghai to the east and Zhejiang to the south, Suzhou is a well-known tourist and cultural city, as well as a economic opening area, with 2500 years of history. There is an old Chinese saying that comments on the welcoming atmosphere of Suzhou: "Paradise in Heaven, Suzhou and Hangzhou on Earth". No wonder why: Suzhou enjoys a favorable climate and a comfortable environment.
The town is reminiscent of the Venice of Italy, as it is built on a network of interlocking canals and lush gardens. The most famous place to visit in Suzhou is "Little Singapore", an industrial city built on the outskirts by Singaporean investment. Other notably cultural and historical sites are Hanshan Temple, the Temple of Mystery and West Garden Temple, both excellent examples of Daoist and Buddhist tradition.
