Zhouzhuang, often called the No.1 Water Town in China, is a beautifully preserved canal town with stone bridges (including the famous Double Bridges), white-walled houses and waterside tea houses. A private car gets you there comfortably from Suzhou or Shanghai and waits while you explore.
Fixed pricing from $110 includes the drive and driver waiting time. We can combine Zhouzhuang with a Suzhou gardens tour on the same day.
