Jiangnan, a study in water and gardens

Days 1–2 — Read Hangzhou through a short lakeside walk and a second, slower chapter chosen around your interests.

Day 3 — Keep transfer arrangements flexible until dates and connections are known.

Days 4–5 — Look closely at Suzhou’s garden spaces and their relationship with the city. The idea contrasts an open lake landscape with intimate garden views.
