I want to see the gardens in Suzhou and the west lake in Hangzhou, but want to fit in a short trip on the canal in either of the 2 cities. an hour or so would do. Are there short canal trips running? Which city should I do this in? What times should I do this (given the time restrictions of the other sights)? Thanks for any suggetsions.

Yes, the canal trip is still available nowdays and you are suggested to experience it in Suzhou. Go to Xinshiqiao Dock, which is at no. 798, Panxu Road. You may choose the daytime or night cruise trip on the canal.

I will be in Shanghai for a week in early mid May 2017.
