Suzhou, Jiangsu: City of Gardens and Canals

#chinatravel

Located in Jiangsu Province, Suzhou is a photographer’s dream where classical beauty meets vibrant everyday life. Its UNESCO-listed gardens—like the Humble Administrator’s Garden—offer tranquil scenes of pavilions, ponds, and winding rockeries, perfect for framing in soft natural light. Narrow canals lined with whitewashed houses and stone bridges reflect the city’s poetic charm. I love capturing morning mist drifting over the waterways or the warm glow of lanterns at night. Beyond its elegance, Suzhou’s bustling markets and quiet alleyways reveal intimate moments of local life, making the city a timeless tapestry of culture, history, and living art.
