Suzhou, China, which is adjacent to Shanghai, combines historic charm and a 21st century economy. Because the city sits on the shores of Taihu Lake and is crisscrossed by a host of canals, it is often referred to as the Venice of China. Suzhou’s many classical gardens and water towns are major tourist destinations.
