The canal city of Suzhou is located in western China down the Yangtze river, which is Asia's longest river and the world's third longest river after the Nile and Amazon. The most important feature that makes the city of Suzhou attractive is undoubtedly the uniquely beautiful canals formed by the waters of the Yangtze River as it passes through the city. Another element that adds beauty to the city is the unique garden designs and the stone bridges that give the city's architecture a characteristic look. Suzhou is also famous for its advanced silk trade, as it is close to the great canal where the most important waterway trade in the world takes place.
