• Suzhou’s Sweet Start: In a city where breakfast leans sweet, fermented rice cakes fried crisp and filled with rose, mint or a savoury twist.
• Authentic Morning Noodles: Join the local ritual of tea, noodles and opera at a decades-old shop with the best broth in town and a spread of seasonal condiments to build your own bowl.
• Suzhou's Ancient Gardens & Temples: Walking the alleys and canals, visit Suzhou's only Buddhist nunnery and a secret Ming-dynasty garden built around five “peaks” of Taihu lake stones.
• Traditional Old-Suzhou Snacks: Just inside the ancient city gate, once the trading hub of the Grand Canal, grab fresh soy milk, local spring rolls, Chinese donuts and pancake-wrapped dough sticks.
• Floating Wontons: At a famous “bubble wonton” joint loved by celebrities and neighbours alike, try air-filled wontons that float on a bowl of rich broth.
• Classic Chinese Dessert: Finish at a dessert shop popular with the younger crowd, over slow-cooked red bean soup topped with chewy glutinous rice balls.
Plus More Surprises!
