Fun 6 days private tour to Suzhou, Wuxi, Yixing and Xitang
![]() We had a fun 6 days private tour to Wuxi, Yixing, Suzhou and Xitang where MI 3 was filmed. Our tour guide Brenda is very knowledgeable about Chinese history, rearranged our schedule to avoid holiday crowds, took us to local restaurant where we got to try delicious authentic local specialties, and gave us great recommendations we requested outside our tour like restaurants in Shanghai and spa for massage. And she took many pictures for us :) Highly recommend. more

Suggested Itinerary
We'll pick you up in the morning from your hotel in Suzhou, and you will start your tour at the biggest classical garden in Suzhou, Humble Administrator's Garden.
As one of China's top four gardens, the Humble Administrator's Garden enjoys a great reputation, and it is a must-see garden in Suzhou. You will explore its leisure area and residential area, which include gardens, bridges, kiosks and exquisite halls.
Have lunch at a local Suzhou restaurant, and your tour guide will recommend popular local food for you. The most famous Suzhou food is squirrel-shaped mandarin fish; sweet and sour fish cooked in the shape of a squirrel.
Humble Administrator's Garden
The best way to see authentic Suzhou local life is to take a rickshaw ride. The rickshaw driver will bring you through small alleys along the Suzhou canyon, and you'll pass by primary schools, food markets, ancient wells and stone pagodas…
Different from classical gardens, Tiger Hill is not only a garden, but a combination of kiosks, pagodas, temples, pools, springs and bonsai garden. The hill has over 2,500 years of history, and has many interesting stories associated with it.
After dinner at local restaurant, start to explore a different Suzhou-- visit a garden at night.
The Nets Master Garden is only 1/6 of the size of the Humble Administrator's Garden, but it is the most ingenious classical garden in Suzhou. Explore such a lovely garden at night is totally different from during the day. Follow the step of the staff, and you will find amazing live traditional Chinese culture performance hidden in the pavilions.
