About the Feng Shui Gardens of Suzhou
A World without end....
The elements of a Classic Chinese garden have been consistent over time. They evolved from idealized representations of the natural landscape. To reproduce nature is probably one of the highest arts!
The Feng Shui Taoist masters of ancient times, through careful observations and study of nature, formulated the various elements and principals of gardens to harvest and circulate the beneficial good chi. Balance and harmony are the key factors, and is achieved by careful attention to detail. A good balance is evidence with exotic/ordinary, dark/light, wet/dry, square, irregular, smooth, round, rough, high, low, scale, patterns and the balance of the 5 elements. The essential principles of garden design were in the original landscape of China, e.g. mountain landscapes, island coastlines, rivers and oceans, and were integrated into the great historical gardens of the emperors and administrators.
An old Chinese proverb says a garden without water is like a body without blood. Rivers were the Earths blood, forests its hair and mountains its bones and foliage its flesh. The juxtaposition of the feminine gentle water with the hard strength and stillness of the rocks represents the union and partnership of yin and masculine yang. All that is required to experience a Feng Shui garden is to come to nature in a receptive mood and let your senses be your guide. This is the beginning of a world without end...

TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS
Hong Kong transfer
Once you have joined our study tour in Hong Kong, we will provide all transfers from there on. As people are arriving from many different locations to join the tour - in Hong Kong you simply need to transfer directly to the hotel from the airport.
The Chek Lap Kok International Airport is accessible by road and rail. The efficient Airport Express runs frequently between and 6am and 1am. The smooth and comfortable service reaches Kowloon in only 19 minutes and Central in 23. Catch the fast train from inside the airport terminal, which is easy to find. Get off at the Kowloon train station; catch a taxi to our hotel.
* Catch a taxi from Airport to hotel- keep in mind that the airport is quite a distance from the city.
* Catch a hotel coach from the airport i.e. there are coaches from the airport that do hotel drop offs, it may take a little longer to get there - but it is cheaper.
The train idea would cost approx. US$10 from Kowloon and aprox. US$20+ for the taxi to the hotel.
Transfers
On arriving in Hong Kong, participants must make their own way to the Hotel. As people are arriving from different countries at different times it is impossible to arrange a package transfer. All transfers from this point are inclusive in the costs.
Tipping: Brought in by the massive number of American and overseas tourists, tipping is becoming more common in the Chinese tourism industry today. When a porter delivers your luggage to your room, it is good idea to have 3.00 Yuan ($0.60) or 5.00 Yuan ($1.00) handy for him.
Because it is neccessary to book airfares as early as possible in both China and International flights- BOOK as EARLY as possible-
Refer to our Registration form for all our Tour package and Tuition costs.
Passport

It is usually done within a few hours, however please allow as much time as possible to get your visa. |

WHAT TO BRING - Recommend packing list for China
YOU MUST TRAVEL LIGHT
The general rule of thumb on domestic flights (flights within China) is 44 pounds for checked bags and 22 for carry-ons. The allowance for international flights used to be 70 pounds, but many U.S. airlines have lowered their limits to 50, so check with your airline. Either way - travel light - and leave room in your bag for shopping.
We have a number of domestic flights that limit your bags to 40 LBS and one carry on handbag. Over wise you will be charged for over sized luggage.
Pack your minimum requirements, TRAVEL LIGHT, it is a good feeling and it makes it easier to transfer, and there is less to pack!
Weather information:
In China the months of Oct - Nov are Late Summer - autumn and it is one of the best seasons for traveling to China. The weather is very comfortable, temperature averages 24ƒC. It is not too hot nor is it cold or rainy.
Things to Bring:
Clothes: October is the beginning of autumn in China. The following is a suggested example of a packing list.
Six long sleeve shirts and two pairs of long pants or jeans. Two T-shirts and two shorts/skirts.
One light jacket and a sweater for possible weather changes. Four pairs of socks and one pair of very comfortable walking shoes are considered absolutely essential.
Dark colored, drip-dry clothes are recommended, as most places in China are very dusty, and only hotel laundry service staff, have access to ironing boards. Laundry service is usually overnight and available at most hotels.
One set of 'dress up time" i.e. for Banquet dinners and party nites out.
Medications: It is recommended that you take with you required medications and tablets that you usually take or feel you may need.
A small first aid kit sometimes comes in handy
Confectionary: Fresh milk, western tea bags and instant coffee are not readily obtainable in China. It is a good idea to take some with you if you require these, i.e. coffee bags.
There is an unlimited supply of Chinese tea and boiling water at your hotel rooms and restaurants. Take some plastic cutlery with you if you are not familiar with chopsticks.
Other Items: A camera, a fold - up umbrella, insect repellent and sunscreen for daily use. It is a good idea to carry a face towel and a lock for each of your suitcases.
Hand tissues come in handy
Bring plenty of your favorite energy bars.
Instant miso soup - one of the best travel aids!
Note book and pens
Additional Information on Currency:
Credit Cards: A credit card is considered essential in the case of an emergency, and it is also ideal if you purchase expensive items. Most of the larger department stores in China accept American Express and Visa.
It is always best usually to travel with $US dollars in cash. You can bring travelers checks, and some hotels will change them, however if you need a trip to a bank, it can be a wait combined with an interesting adventure.
A combination of cash and travelers checks is always the best. China is very safe and most hotels have security boxes
Local Currency and Exchange Rates:
In China the local currency is called Renmimbi. Its basic unit is Yuan, Jiao and fen in which 1.00 Yuan = 10 Jiao = 100 fen. It is similar to the USA-Australian system, where $100 = 100 cents. The exchange rate is approximately A$1.00 = 5 Yuan. US $1.00 = 8 Yuan
You can change any remaining Yuan back into your own currency before you leave China, providing you still have the original foreign exchange receipt. If you have any US dollars from previous trips, you may like to use them in China, as they can be exchanged at most cities. US$1.00 = 8.00 Yuan.
Prices: Local products are much cheaper in China than they are in western countries. For example, good quality fashionable clothes cost about $10.00 per item, a pair of good quality leather shoes cost about $10.00 a pair. Fruit costs between $1.00 to $1.50 per kilogram, mineral water is about $0.50 for a small bottle. Most imported products are relatively more expensive. A cup of coffee may cost more than $5.00!
Here is a summary of what to bring:
Passport with visas
Summer clothes with warm jacket
Cotton wear
Cotton socks
Sandals
Comfortable walking shoes
Practical warm and loose clothing
One waterproof jacket/wind breaker
