Suzhou

Billed as the "Oriental Venice", Suzhou (pronounced Su-Jo) was constructed in 512BC and was given its current name during the Sui dynasty (581 AD). It is a city interconnected with rivers, where canals run along many of the major roads and course all around the housing areas. Suzhou is also on the Grand Canal (1,700 kilometer), connecting Beijing to Hangzhou; the canal was built in the 5th century BC and then extended in the 7th and 13th centuries. Many Chinese consider this city a nice place to retire.
