Suzhou is one of China's oldest and most beautiful cities, located in Jiangsu province just 90 km west of Shanghai, home to approximately 7.5 million residents. Like all of China, it operates on China Standard Time (CST, UTC+8). Suzhou has been called 'the Venice of the East' — its classical gardens, canals, and white-washed walls with dark-tiled rooflines represent the pinnacle of Chinese residential garden design. The Classical Gardens of Suzhou, of which eight are UNESCO World Heritage Sites, include the Humble Administrator's Garden (Zhuozheng Yuan) — considered the finest classical Chinese garden in the world. Suzhou has been a centre of silk production for over 2,500 years — the Suzhou embroidery tradition, one of China's four great embroidery styles, produces work so fine that individual stitches are thinner than human hairs. Suzhou's proximity to Shanghai has made it one of China's wealthiest and fastest-growing cities, home to the Suzhou Industrial Park (SIP) — one of China's most successful high-technology development zones.
