The canals of Suzhou are watered by the Yangtze River delta.
The city is crisscrossed by an urban canal network, which is connected with China's Grand Canal.
Many narrow canals are still lined with traditional dwellings and filled by small cargo boats.
You can view the canals from the bridges, but the only way to fully appreciate them is on a boat.
More than Forty different stone bridges in a variety of styles cross the canals.
It is said that some of the rocks pulled out to build the canals and the Grand Canal were used to build parts of the Great Wall.
