Why is it said that Suzhou is the Venice of the East?

Because Suzhou is in the east, it is a water city, so Suzhou is a water city.

Because Suzhou is the land of fish and rice in Venice.

Some people say that Suzhou is the "Venice of the East".Suzhou, an ancient city in the south of the Yangtze River, has a lot of water, many bridges, and countless people live near the river, rowing boats on the water, which is indeed a little similar to Venice.

There are also people who say that Suzhou is the "Venice of the East".Suzhou, an ancient city in the south of the Yangtze River, has a lot of water, many bridges, and countless people live near the river, rowing boats on the water, which is indeed a little similar to Venice.

Because it is the second largest "water city" after Venice. Suzhou's water-colored mountains, pleasant scenery, and natural environment are pleasing to the eye; The streets and alleys of Suzhou are near the river, "people are all sleepy on the river, and the water town is Zeguo, which is known as the Venice of the East."

Suzhou is also known as the water capital, water city, and water town, and the 13th century "Marco Polo's Travels" praised Suzhou as the Venice of the East. The ancient city of Suzhou was praised by the French Enlightenment thinker Montesquieu as a "miraculous workmanship".

In 514 B.C., King Wu Lu ordered Wu Zixu to supervise the construction of a city with a double chessboard pattern of land and water, and since then, the geographical location of Suzhou has evolved to the present day. In 222 B.C., Qin Shi Huang set up Huiji County and Wu County in the capital city of Wu, and since then, Suzhou at that time was called Wu County, or sometimes called Wuzhou. In 589 A.D., Sui changed Wuzhou to Suzhou (named after Suzhou City Xigu Su Mountain, the name of Suzhou began here.

In addition, Gusu Mountain was named after Wu Wang Lu Jiangu Sutai, and there are still relics on the mountain). In 778 AD, the Tang Dynasty set Suzhou as the only "Xiongzhou" in the south of the Yangtze River (the Tang Dynasty was divided into seven classes, and "Xiongzhou" was the second class), and since then, the name of Suzhou has been fixed as a general name. In 1113 AD, the Song Dynasty changed Suzhou to Pingjiang Prefecture.

Comprehensive historical changes, Suzhou has many nicknames: Gusu, Wu, Wuxian, Dongwu, Pingjiang, Wuzhong and so on.

The difference between Suzhou and Venice is that they belong to different countries, have different reputations, and have different origins.

1. The country of belonging is different.

1. Suzhou: Suzhou is a prefecture-level city under the jurisdiction of Jiangsu Province in China, an important part of the Yangtze River urban agglomeration, and a national historical and cultural city and scenic tourist city.

2. Venice: Venice is a famous tourist and industrial city in northeastern Italy and the capital of the Veneto region.

Second, the reputation is different.

1. Suzhou: Suzhou has the reputation of "paradise on earth". Suzhou Gardens are the representative of China's private gardens, and nine classical gardens, including the Humble Administrator's Garden, the Lingering Garden, the Master-of-Nets Garden, the Huanxiu Villa, the Canglang Pavilion, the Lion Forest, the Art Garden, the Coupling Garden, and the Retreat Garden, have been included in the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List.

2. Venice: Venice has the reputation of "born because of water, beautiful because of water, and prosperous because of water", and enjoys the reputation of "water city", "water city" and "hundred island city".

3. The origin is different.

1. Suzhou: Suzhou has a history of nearly 2,500 years, is one of the birthplaces of Wu culture in the late Shang Dynasty, and one of the "four gatherings of the world" in the Qing Dynasty.

2. Venice: Venice was founded in the 5th century and consists of 118 small islands, and became the main shipping hub at that time in the 10th century.

Venice is a small town where the means of transport is mainly boats, and there are many rivers in the town.

There are also many rivers in Suzhou, the water system of the whole city is very developed, the moat surrounds the ancient city of Suzhou, and the small rivers in the city extend in all directions, and there are more"Small bridges and flowing water"reputation.

In the past, when transportation was not developed, boats on small rivers were an important tool for transporting goods and carrying people, like"Charged an extra three or five buckets"，"Maple Bridge Night Parking"and so on, there are boats.

Because it is a city on the water like Venice.

Hello, glad to answer for you.

1 The ancient city of Suzhou, bordered by Shanghai in the east and Taihu Lake in the west, is a bright pearl in the Yangtze River Delta region. The average annual temperature is in the temperate zone, with obvious mild and humid climate characteristics and four distinct seasons, and it belongs to the plain and hilly area. The ancient city covers an area of square kilometers, narrow from east to west, wide from north to south, and rectangular in shape.

There are two moats inside and outside the city around the city, and there are 7 water and land city gates and 1 land city gate around the city. Although most of the ancient city walls have been destroyed and the city gates have been demolished, the oldest Panmen water and land gates are still intact, and the moats, water alleys, and alleys can still be seen in parallel. There are many rivers in Suzhou, with a total length of 35 kilometers, and there are 186 arch bridges and beam bridges on these wide and narrow river surfaces.

Therefore, in the 13th century, the Italian travelers Marco and Polo called Suzhou the "Venice of the East" after traveling through Suzhou, and this reputation has been used to this day.

Because of the ancient city of Suzhou, the rivers are crisscrossed, the lakes are dense, and people seem to live on the water, so it is called the Venice of the East.

Suzhou and Venice have played an important role in the economic development of the region around water.

Both Suzhou and Venice are the birthplaces of modern commerce and the budding of capitalism.

Because of the crisscrossing of rivers in the city, they are all called water towns. I think it's mainly because Suzhou is in the south of the Yangtze River, with more lakes and small rivers.

There are many water systems, the Yangtze River and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal run through the city, many lakes are dotted, and the waterway transportation is developed.

Because Suzhou is particularly powerful, it is called the Orient and Venice.

Yes! Suzhou water ring city, all towns waterway through!
