Through the Suzhou Municipal Bureau of Culture, Radio, Television and Tourism\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s new #SecretsOfSuzhou Instagram campaign, foreigners based in China share their first-hand tips for making the most of a trip to Suzhou.<\/p>\n<p>The campaign launched last month with a trip organized by Time Out Shanghai, that brought a group of 30 expats and travel enthusiasts to Suzhou where they explored historical sites like the Suzhou Museum of Inscribed Stone Tablets, took in traditional cultural performances in Suzhou\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s classical gardens and on its romantic canals, experienced local life along Shantang Street, enjoyed the outdoors on a hike by Taihu Lake, and more. Several new weekend tour packages departing from Shanghai recently launched as a result of the trip which focus on Suzhou\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s architecture and history.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some of the recommendations from those who attended the trip and other foreigners who spend their days in the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153City of Culture &amp; Arts.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>Emily Axen, American living in Shanghai<\/p>\n<p>Emily recently attended the nighttime cultural performance held in Master of the Nets Garden and reviews it as a great look into ancient life in Suzhou. She also shares, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I think going to museums with a guide is key. You get so much more information from a guide as a lot of the information is not written in English.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>Christian Wischnewski, German living in Suzhou<\/p>\n<p>According to Chris, Suzhou has a great atmosphere with the perfect mix of history and modernity. He suggests getting out into Suzhou\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s beautiful natural areas, including Mudu Old Town, Sanshan Island, and the water town of Tongli. As for a bite to eat? \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I really like squirrel-shaped mandarin fish, with the sweet and sour sauce. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s something really unique that I haven\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t seen in more than 60 countries that I have visited until now,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d he says.<\/p>\n<p>Robyn Cronje, South African living in Shanghai (IG: @littlebitsofruby)<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Definitely visit the gardens and watch the Kunqu Opera. It is such a great way of storytelling that will leave you feeling like you have experienced a bit of China itself. The boat ride on the canals is also a must. It&#8217;s tranquil and really gives you the feeling that you&#8217;re in Venice!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Robyn says.<\/p>\n<p>Yunus Emre, Turkish living in Shanghai<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I always enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of Suzhou every time I&#8217;m there,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d says Yunus. He describes the city as \u00e2\u20ac\u0153culturally deep\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and recommends that visitors take the time to enjoy the Suzhou\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s historical side on any trip.<\/p>\n<p>About Suzhou<\/p>\n<p>For more than 2,500 years, Suzhou has been known as a center of arts and culture.
