Together with the Summer Palace in Beijing, the Summer Resort in Chengde and the Lingering Garden in Suzhou, it is honored as one of the four famous gardens in China.
Suzhou garden is not only the product of history and culture, but also the expression of Chinese traditional ideology and culture. From the naming of the garden, couplets, engravings, Windows and flowers and trees, you can feel it. It mainly contains the history, thought and cultural background of each dynasty and generation.
Move to the exquisite Lingering Garden.
