Anyway, I'm going to be in Hangzhou and was planning to leave Sun a.m. to go to Wuzhen, spend the day there, and either go to Suzhou in the evening or first thing in the morning. Then, spend Monday day in Souzhou and take a train back to Shanghai on Monday evening. Is this do-able? Besides the gardens, what else does Suzhou have to offer that Wuzhen and Hangzhou don't? Just wondering if I can do Zuzhou in a day. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Though this is an old post, I'm sure still many of you have such question. Let me give some ideas from a local's perspective.

Okay, if in short, I have one sentence for you to figure out a general concept of this town. Suzhou, more than 2500 years history, is a city where you will be amazed to feel the different levels of time and development happening simultaneously, both old and new, peace and vitality, ancient and contemporary all at once.
