travel by boat?

[KPT]

I am planning a tour by boat, starting from Suzhou, and travel to Hangzhou and then back to Yongzhou. Can somebody tell me if it is worth to do it as I can also travel by train and how could I arrange this trip? Heard from somebody that the boat is not comfortable.. Is it true? Thanks for your imput!

KPT,
Take the train the scenery is much nicer and the boat is uncomfortable.

Agreed! These ferries or boats are not clean, outdated , noisy and uncomfortable. If in winter need to add cold.

Thanks a lot, dkas, alexss and alfonso for your valuable information! I have changed my plan by boat and still took a train as the weather is not good to be in water. Wind kills.
