Anonymous userTo witness the unparalleled beauty of the Yi and Liang Pavilions, I made a special trip to the Humble Administrator's Garden, the premier garden in Jiangnan, Suzhou. I strolled westward through the garden, only to find a large crowd of fellow enthusiasts, resulting in a 40-minute long, serpentine queue. However, it was absolutely worth it! The aesthetic sense of our ancestors! The 70 RMB entrance fee is quite expensive.

我的外号叫老建The environment is exceptionally nice, with many trees, artificial hills, pavilions, and towers, creating a profound and evocative atmosphere. There's also a fantastic coffee shop with a beautiful view; sitting there and enjoying a cup of coffee when you're tired is a truly delightful experience.

_We***28The teacher's explanation was excellent. I took my child there, and the explanation was very detailed. It had a different focus than the explanations I've had at other museums, and I learned a lot more.

方圳海The Master of the Nets Garden is an exquisitely crafted small garden, and it also has a connection with Zhang Daqian. Zhang Daqian and his friends kept a tiger in the garden and often painted there. Compared to the Humble Administrator's Garden, the landscaping in the Master of the Nets Garden is more delicate and refined, especially the views through the empty windows and the lake rocks, which are varied in shape.
