Suzhou is 100 km west of Shanghai, about 1.5 hours by car via the expressway.
Humble Administrator's Garden (Zhuozheng Yuan) is the most famous and largest. Lingering Garden (Liuyuan) is more intimate. We recommend Humble Administrator's for first-time visitors.
Yes, but it makes for a very long day (12+ hours). We recommend either gardens OR water town, not both.
The train takes 30 min to Suzhou Station, but then you need taxis/buses between sites. A private car waits at each location and takes you directly back to your Shanghai hotel.
April-May for spring blossoms, September-November for autumn. Avoid national holidays (Oct 1-7, May 1-5) when gardens are packed.
