Known as “Little Shanghai”, Wuxi sits stoically on the Yangtze River Plain. Its location along the Great Canal has made it an important spot throughout China’s history, with Wuxi functioning as a hub for major markets and trading. Wuxi still draws plenty of traffic today, as visitors come to wander beneath the plum blossoms and azalea; to soak up the majestic scenery of Taihu Lake; and to step back in time at the millennium-old Xihui Garden.

One of the country’s most peaceful spots, Suzhou is a great spot to relax amongst azaleas and tulips, enjoy some freshly caught crabs, and enjoy epic sunsets in the “Venice of the Orient”. The iconic Suzhou Gardens provide a haven from the bustle of everyday life, while a boat ride on the Shantang River showcases another side of the city. One visit to the area and you’ll quickly understand the famous Chinese phrase: “In heaven there is paradise – and on earth Suzhou”.

Yangzhou is one of the country’s top destinations for leisure-seekers, and with its landmarks and cultural attractions, it’s easy to see why. Famed explorer Marco Polo fell in love with Yangzhou, making it his home for three years, and legions of globetrotters have since followed his path. To get the most out of a visit to Yangzhou, plan a day of sightseeing around the Grand Canal – making sure to sample some Huaiyang cuisine along the way – before visiting Lus Old House and Yangzhou Museum.

One of the Four Great Ancient Capitals of China, Nanjing’s place alongside the Yangtze River has made it a bucket-list spot for sightseers looking to soak up some of the region’s epic beauty. The scenic Confucian Temple and Purple Mountain should be near the top of any itinerary, but lesser-known spots like the Thousand Buddhas Hall – set deep underground – are well worth exploring. To get a true taste of local tradition, you can take a calligraphy class or attend a tea ceremony.
