An impressive claim1, but the only way to find out if Suzhou is indeed one of these two earthly paradises is to actually visit the place. Suzhou sits only four meters above sea level, so water features heavily in2 the landscape of its canal towns, as well as in the serene classical gardens that have been designated as World Heritage sites. This was immediately obvious on arrival, with rivers and canals crisscrossing the streets on the ten-minute walk from the train station to my riverside hostel. Because of Suzhous location near the mouth of the Yangtze, numerous canals were built to stabilize the flood-prone delta areas. Several other towns and cities in the region followed suit, creating what has become known as Chinas region of water towns.

In ancient times it was from here that silk would have been transported along the Grand Canal to Beijing, and eventually all the way along the silk road to places as far away as Rome4. Even today, Suzhous silk exports account for 30 percent of the countrys total. With its mild climate, fertile land and abundance of produce, it is no wonder that Suzhou is referred to as heaven on earth. Suzhous gardens date back as far as 600 AD. These gardens were designed by artists who were hired at the height of the Tang and Song dynasties, and used four basic elements to create aharmony between heaven and earth, trees, water, bridges and rock. With an abundance of water, and stones brought from nearby Lake Tai, it was the trees (the older the better) which were the most p
