_TI***3xIt’s ac really beautiful garden but it is best to enjoy it with a guide so you can fully understand the story behind it. It is crowded on the day we visited but was still ok.

Delfina董董Take a walk, climb the mountain, and enjoy the scenery. There aren't many steps, and the path isn't very wide. You can take an electric cart up the mountain from the outer edge. Inside, there are many unique shops selling paper cutting, hand-painted items, and more. The autumn scenery is perfect for taking lots of photos. It'll be really cold this weekend; your hands will be freezing!
44.7/5Delfina董董The Humble Administrator's Garden was too crowded, so I was squeezed into the Lingering Garden. The autumn and winter scenery there was melancholic and desolate, yet it held a unique flavor that lingered in my heart. White clouds drifted away, autumn stretched endlessly, flowers filled the steps, and old memories, in the blink of an eye, had flowed eastward like a river.

M60***46This is one of the most worthwhile gardens to visit in Suzhou. The owner was a voracious reader, and several rooms served as studies, each with its own unique charm visible through the windows. What I loved most was the stunning lake view; sitting in the pavilion by the lake was incredibly pleasant!

135***16Canglang Pavilion, located in the south of Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province, is the oldest garden in Suzhou. Canglang Pavilion is renowned for its borrowed scenery. Before even entering the garden gate, a pond of green water surrounds the outside. Inside, the main feature is the rockery, with the Canglang Stone Pavilion perched atop an earthen hill. A pond is carved at the foot of the hill, and winding covered corridors connect the landscape, with latticed windows in the flower walls offering views from both sides.

rikardoCouple's Garden, a world-renowned gem, is hidden within the Xiangmen Gate of Suzhou. Surrounded by water on three sides and connected to the city by a single path, it rests against the city moat to the east, a place where the wind and energy converge, its layout is exceptionally auspicious. Sitting under the corridor of the East Garden, one can see the uniquely shaped rocks within the garden and the verdant scenery outside the city like a screen, the inner and outer worlds reflecting each other, truly a delightful sight.

M28***65The garden is small yet exquisite, a truly delightful place. In the early morning, when few people are around, the sunlight shines down, making the ginkgo trees particularly beautiful; some are over 400 years old. The ancients meticulously planned the pavilions, terraces, waterside pavilions, and flower rooms. The lady of the house gets up early, takes a stroll, has breakfast, rests for a while, and then enjoys afternoon tea. At dusk, she wanders through the garden and along the lake, has dinner, and then it's dark. The garden is so vast, encompassing all four seasons; no wonder she rarely leaves the grounds!

xiaolaba0801The place is small, winding through a narrow alley; you might not even find it without navigation. The environment inside is quite nice, but because it was the weekend and the weather was good, many people were out for a stroll, so even this less-known spot was packed. There were people taking wedding photos, people having artistic portraits, and groups of older women enjoying themselves. But if you can't avoid the crowds, just blend in. Seeing their bright smiles is a kind of scenery in itself.
104.6/5Anonymous userIt is an old academy. When you walk in, you feel that the view is very broad, but it is not as exquisite and beautiful as private gardens such as the Humble Administrator's Garden. Ke Garden is just opposite the Canglang Pavilion. Because I visited the Canglang Pavilion, I visited Ke Garden by the way.
