Field Guides
Field guides for a Suzhou leg of a school trip. The first is the Chinese gardens guide: eight stations that work in any of the city's classical gardens, with examples from the Humble Administrator's Garden, the Lingering Garden, the Lion Grove Garden and the Master of the Nets Garden. The preview is online; the full guide goes to teachers and trip leaders on request.

Eight stations for any classical garden: rockeries, water, pavilions, covered walkways, windows and borrowed views, and why a scholar's garden looks inward while Versailles looks outward. The same guide works at the Summer Palace in Beijing.
On a Trip
For the gardens themselves, see the PreeChina page on the Classical Gardens of Suzhou. Suzhou is on the high-speed line between Shanghai and Nanjing, so a Suzhou day fits a route through Shanghai.
Full Guides
Teachers, school trip leaders and travel companies can ask for any guide through the request form. Say which guides you need and who they are for, and PreeChina emails the printable PDFs.
