The diamond-shaped glass on all sides is blue and white, and what you see from the inside out is a window and a scene. You can enjoy Kunqu Opera, which is the most beautiful ancient drama in China.

2. Lion Forest

Lion Forest is the only existing garden in Suzhou, which was built in China in14th century. It was built by a Zen master in memory of his teacher. Because the Tathagata is compared to the roar of a lion in Buddhist scriptures, this classical garden built by Buddhist children has the name "Lion Forest". Lion Forest blends the magnificent mountains and rivers into the unique beauty of Suzhou classical gardens.

Step 3 stay in the park

Covering an area of 30 mu, Lingering Garden is the most exquisite classical garden in Suzhou, and its present style represents the garden style of China in the Qing Dynasty in the18th century. The promenade in the whole garden is more than 700 meters long, winding and undulating along the wall, leaving a little curved space between the walls, planting some plants and placing some lake stones to form a miniature landscape of the garden, which is vivid and interesting. This is also a typical corridor construction technique in Suzhou classical gardens. Xuan paper, pen and ink, cool breeze and beautiful scenery are wonderful moments for China literati to realize life.

4. Lotus Garden

The Yellowstone rockery in the garden is another masterpiece of Suzhou gardens. Surrounded by water on all sides, it is suitable in size and highly natural, living in harmony with surrounding buildings and becoming a beautiful landscape. 130 years ago, a couple lived in seclusion here. In order to alleviate his wife's homesickness, her husband built a tall building-Tingling Building. This is almost the only building in Suzhou classical gardens that embodies the meaning of equality between men and women.

5. Tiger Mountain

Tiger Hill enjoys the reputation of "the first scene in Wuzhong" with its beautiful scenery and long history and cultural landscape. According to legend, in the Spring and Autumn Period, Fu Cha, the king of Wu, buried his father here. Three days after the burial, a white tiger sat on it, hence the name. The mountain is about 36 meters high, with towering old trees and numerous hills. The Millennium Tiger Hill stands on the top of the mountain. Su Song Dongpo said, "It's a pity to go to Suzhou instead of Tiger Hill".
