Paper-cutting is a very distinctive visual art of Chinese handicrafts. It originated from the 6th century. Today, paper-cuttings are chiefly decorative. They are pasted on the walls, windows, doors, columns and lanterns to express people’s hopes, gratitude and other emotions. It is easy to learn about cutting a piece of paper but very difficult to master it with perfection. Let's experience traditional Chinese handicrafts by learning paper-cutting.

Stop At: Tuisi Garden, Tongli Town, Wujiang District, Suzhou 215200 China

After lunch, we will visit Tuisi Garden. This Chinese classical garden, built in 19th-century, delightfully translates as the ‘Withdraw and Reflect Garden’, so named because it was the retirement home of a demoted Qing government official. The 'Tower of Fanning Delight' served as the living quarters, while the garden itself is a meditative portrait of a shimmering pond, rockeries and pavilions.
