Q: Are there any ancient villages or interesting sites near Suzhou?
Somewhere scenic, interesting or historical that's suitable for a daytrip, and please don't say Shanghai or Hangzhou!

Have you been to Zhouzhuang?
It's pretty close to Suzhou (30km southeast) and it's an old water town (the Venice of China!)
Here's a link:

It's close and pretty cool. Kind of touristy in places, but cool temples and that "historic" feel. Worth a day trip.
That's awesome Mr.Tibbles, thanks! I haven't heard about it but will check it out sometime soon.
Zhouzhuang is an old and beautiful town,you can search it .
Have about 200 pix from Zhouzhuang here :

thanks for the pics on facebook because many of us here can't even access that site.
the back villages of Anji, outside of Hangzhou, where the movie about the crouching dragon / flying tiger was filmed . It's bamboo country up there and the rural villages are a like a scene out of early 20th-century China. Good food, too.
I am sure "LuZhi" is the ancient town actually located inside of Suzhou. Can't be difficult to find.
