Suzhou is known as the Venice of the Orient and is renowned for its beautiful stone bridges, pagodas, and meticulously designed classical gardens. In fact, 42% of the city is covered by water, which includes a vast number of ponds and streams in addition to the city's numerous canals. At present, more than 60 gardens are maintained in Suzhou, and a number of them, including the Humble Administrator's Garden, the Lingering Garden, the Garden of the Master of Nets, and the Mountain Villa with Embracing Beauty, have been listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Suzhou has also been an important center for China's silk industry since the Song Dynasty (960-1279) and continues to hold that prominent position today. Suzhou is located in the center of the Yangtze Delta, in the south of Jiangsu Province, with the Yangtze River to the north.
