Suzhou is located in the Taihu Lake basin of the lower reach of the Yangtze River, where the geographical conditions are perfect for constructing gardens. Sixty-nine classical gardens are preserved in the city, nine of which are included in the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List. As a classic representative of Chinese classical gardens, Suzhou Gardens have a long history.
Classical gardens of Suzhou are a combination of houses and gardens, which are designed to be admired, visited and lived in. The pursuit of artistic conception is an important feature of those gardens.
In overall arrangement and tiny details, classical gardens of Suzhou reflect the ancient Chinese spirit of harmony between heaven, earth and human beings.
Themed on "China in the youth's eyes," Journeys in China aims to present the cultural heritage, natural scenery, local customs and practices, and achievements in various fields of the country to the world through modern audio-visual technologies.
