China: A variety of souvenirs including opium pipes and jade and bronze statues for sale outside Wangshi Yuan or Garden of the Master of the Nets, Suzhou, Jiangsu Province

Suzhou, the city of canals and gardens, was called the ‘Venice of the East’ by Marco Polo. An ancient Chinese proverb states: <i>‘In Heaven there is Paradise; on Earth there is Suzhou’</i>. The city’s love affair with gardens dates back 2,500 years and continues still. At the time of the Ming dynasty (1368–1644) there were 250 gardens, of which about a hundred survive, although only a few are open to the public.
