Mudu ({{zh|s=木渎|t=木瀆|p=Mùdú}}; Suzhounese: {{translit|wuu|⁸moq-doq₈}}, {{IPA|wuu|moʔ˧ doʔ˦}}) is a town in Wuzhong District, Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, China. It takes about 1.5 hours to drive from the downtown in Suzhou to Mudu. Mudu is a small town which is famous for its history. During the Qing dynasty, the Qianlong Emperor visited Mudu six times when he traveled around the country.{{cite web|url=http://www.mudu.com.cn/ |title=古镇木渎-乾隆六次到过的地方 |publisher=Mudu.com.cn |date=2011-08-29 |accessdate=2011-09-18}} Nowadays, many teleplay groups also come to Mudu frequently to film television series. Due to this, many outlanders came to Mudu to make their business by renting out costumes and taking photos for visitors. There is a famous street in Suzhou named Shantang Street, Mudu also has one. It is shorter than the one in Suzhou downtown, but if you go straight along the street, one can approach to the Linyan Mountain. Many visitors will first visit this mountain when they visit Mudu.
