Editorial snapshot
Suzhou rewards the traveller who plans ahead. Book domestic connections six to eight weeks out for the best fares, and time your visit around April or October to dodge both the summer humidity and the Golden Week crowds. It suits culture-focused travellers, garden enthusiasts, and anyone who wants a slower, more considered side of China without sacrificing urban convenience.
Score based on Laters booking data and editorial review, 2026
April and October are the sweet spots for Suzhou: mild temperatures, low rainfall, and gardens at their photogenic peak. Avoid the July-August humidity and the Golden Week rushes in early May and early October, when domestic fares spike sharply and the gardens are crowded.
