Suzhou Master of the Nets Garden | Bamboo shadows sway, as if one strolls within a painting
A small garden achieves more with less - the Master of the Nets Garden, hidden in the alleys, was originally built during the Southern Song Dynasty's Chunxi period (1174-1189 AD) on the former site of the 'Ten Thousand Scrolls Hall', with the garden's name 'Fisherman's Retreat' signifying a withdrawal from the worldly life, which was the precursor to the Master of the Nets Garden.
After several changes of ownership, during the Qing Dynasty's Qianlong era, Song Zongyuan, the Minor Prefect of the Imperial Board of Works, acquired the garden and renamed it 'Master of the Nets Garden'. At the center of the garden is a large pond - the Colorful Clouds Pond, around which all the buildings are constructed. To the east is the residential area, to the north is the study area, to the west is the inner garden area, and to the south is the entertainment area, with the southeast gate serving as the main entrance. A counterclockwise tour allows visitors to make a full circuit of the garden.

Small and elegant, especially exquisite garden, before entering the garden, there will be staff to send fans, the performance does not need to rush to see the field, there will be the next round, see happy. I bought Suzhou silk cultural and creative bags in the store and they are particularly beautiful.
Personally, I think that many gardens in Suzhou look similar, but in fact, every attraction is worth it. You can do a good job of strategies and connect them together to play together. The garden is still very pleasant. I like the atmosphere here very much.
Sure, here's a more casual version:The Master of the Nets garden is like stepping into a peaceful oasis in the middle of Suzhou. The gardens are well-kept and beautiful. It's definitely a highlight if you're visiting Suzhou!
I heard that the net teacher garden is exquisite, and it is so! I went to the Lingering Garden, Yixuan and the net teacher garden. My favorite is the net teacher garden. The courtyard is medium in size, and there are many places to take pictures. The pond in the garden is very popular around. There are also many flowers, especially like the vines inside, super beautiful. Going to Qingming Festival, the yellow wood fragrance waterfall at the door is blooming brilliantly, super beautiful!
The distance between the Master of the Net Garden and the Langlang Pavilion is not too far. Compared with the Master of the Net Garden, the area of the Langlang Pavilion is larger. Zhang Daqianzeng lived in it. It is still a place where a tiger is buried. There is a sense of story. Several courtyards have their own characteristics. The scattered flowers are like brocades, the peony is in full bloom, and the scenery is quite good.
The smallest net teacher garden is the only garden to visit Suzhou. First, it is a time problem. Second, there are too many people in other gardens. Is it not fragrant to bask in the sun quietly in winter? Why go to the Humble Administrator's Garden to crowded to see the head?
I thought that the net teacher garden was very small, but I didn’t expect it to be quite good. We went shopping for three hours from morning to afternoon. The net teacher garden was quite interesting. After returning, I heard the local teacher say that the allusions of the net teacher garden are very interesting and worth recommending.
The most beautiful garden, one step at a time, the young ladies in ancient costume are also a scenery, everyone is also a scenery when trying to take orchids, the most beautiful season in Jiangnan is spring, bring parents, and then dress up for mother, take more beautiful photos, it is also a scenery in my heart ❤️
