An article describing a tourist attraction

As a world famous historical and cultural city, Suzhou has accumulated the charm of Wu culture for more than 2500 years. Around 1 1 century BC, the local tribe called itself "Wu Gou" and Suzhou called it "Wu".

In 5 14 BC, He Lv, the king of Wu, established his capital here, and its scale and status have not changed so far, which is rare in the world.

There are not only magnificent lakes and mountains here, but also picturesque scenery in the south of the Yangtze River with small bridges and flowing water-Suzhou, known as the "land of plenty in the south of the Yangtze River", is rich and beautiful, and is one of the first 24 historical and cultural cities announced in China.

Suzhou has been the economic and cultural center of Jiangnan since ancient times, with complete urban pattern, beautiful scenery and unique natural landscape. This is a famous tourist attraction. Suzhou gardens, which are world-renowned, adopt the method of shrinking the landscape, giving people the artistic effect of seeing the big from the small, and winning the reputation of "garden city" for Suzhou.

The history of Suzhou classical gardens can be traced back to the gardens of King Wu in the Spring and Autumn Period in the 6th century BC. Private gardens were first recorded in Dongjiang Garden in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (4th century). Gardens flourished in past dynasties, with more and more famous gardens. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Suzhou became the most prosperous area in China, with private gardens all over the ancient city.

16 ~ 18 At the peak of the century, there were more than 200 gardens in Suzhou, and now dozens of them are well preserved, making Suzhou known as a paradise on earth.

As typical classical gardens in Suzhou, Humble Administrator's Garden, Lingering Garden, Master's Garden and Huanxiu Mountain Villa were all born in the heyday of private gardens in Suzhou. They have become models and representatives of many classical gardens in Suzhou with their profound artistic conception, exquisite construction, elegant art and rich cultural connotation.
