There are many tea houses in the city, because drinking tea is an important custom in the area. A tea house is a great place to sip a cup of tea and rest after a day of excursions.

A unique opportunity offered by Suzhou is to sip a cup of tea in a beautiful garden. Shuang Zhao Lou, located in the Garden of Couple's Retreat, is a favorite place of local scholars. It is open from 8 am to 5 pm and can be reached by taking the No.701 bus. Bo Ya Tang in the Art Garden is on the water, so you can enjoy the charming scenery and watch fish frolic in the water while you drink your tea. Buses No.313, 204, 33, 301, 501 and the tourist special route No.1 can be used to get there. Another elegant and quiet place is Liang Lei Xuan in the Listening to Maple Garden. Fine tea sets and various kinds are available there. It is open from 8:30 am to 12 pm. Use buses No.1, 8, 32, 38, 101, 102, 103 and the tourist bus No.4.
