See Suzhou’s historic waterways from the water on a relaxing 50-minute evening cruise along the ancient Grand Canal.

Board at Xinshiqiao Pier and settle in as the boat glides past illuminated city walls, traditional stone bridges, and Suzhou’s white-walled, black-tiled houses. Onboard commentary introduces the history of the canal and the classical Jiangnan scenery along the route.

During the cruise, enjoy a live Pingtan performance featuring traditional Suzhou storytelling, music, and singing. Watch the city lights reflect on the water as you experience one of Suzhou’s most atmospheric evening activities.

At the end of the cruise, disembark at Xinshiqiao Pier, the same pier where you boarded.
