Located in east China’s Jiangsu Province, Suzhou is a city known not only for its UNESCO-listed gardens and canals, but also for its transformation into a city of intelligence and innovation. Surrounded by rich history reaching back more than 2,500 years, it strikes a delicate balance: preserving heritage while embracing innovation. Follow the lens of our special program "Suzhou: Global City from Ancient Roots," as we take you on a Chinese path to modernization.
Yushan Mountain in Suzhou is famous for its "soaring eagle" trail, which spans over 10 kilometers and links natural and cultural landmarks. The trail traces the shape of a spreading eagle, hence its name, offering hikers scenic views of lakes and mountains while immersing them in nature’s beauty. At the top of Yushan Mountain, standing at an elevation of 261 meters, is the Jian Pavilion, where visitors can enjoy a panoramic view of Shanghu Lake and the city of Changshu.
