Walking along Pingjiang Road, you’ll see scenery as beautiful as a painting. One of the best ways to enjoy the charm of Pingjiang Road and its surroundings is by taking a traditional boat ride along the canals. Local boatmen often row you through the narrow water lanes, offering a different perspective of the area. It’s a relaxing and picturesque way to explore the old town of Suzhou.

Pan Gate was the only entrance to the wall that encircled ancient Suzhou.
