The Humble Administrator's Garden covers an area of 78 mu (52,000 square meters), and the whole garden is divided into three parts: East, Middle and West. Another residential part is now the garden museum exhibition hall. The east is bright and cheerful, mainly with Pinggang Yuanshan, Songlin Lawn and Zhuwu Qushui. The middle is the essence of the Humble Administrator's Garden. The pool water area accounts for 1/3, mainly water, the pool is wide and lush, the scenery is natural, and the water is arranged with different shapes and scattered buildings, the main and secondary. The western pool is curved, characterized by the taiguan stand-off, the corridor is undulating, the reflection of the water wave, unique taste, gorgeous and beautiful decoration, the main building is close to the residential side of the six halls. [3] Although the whole environment of Humble Administrator's Garden is made by people, the wild fun of the natural ecology is very prominent, and it still retains the style of the early construction of the park in the Ming Dynasty, which is considered to be a representative work of classical gardens in Jiangnan and a precious heritage of Chinese garden art.
To play in Suzhou, you must visit Suzhou gardens. The most famous Humble Administrator's Garden must spend the most time and the greatest energy to slowly appreciate it. For insurance reasons, I bought a ticket on Trip.com the first day. Because I was worried that the first time period was too tight, I had breakfast at the hotel in the morning and then took a taxi to the past time, so I made an appointment for the second time period, 8:30 to 9:30. Although there is room for the appointment time, the time to get up in the morning is still as far as possible. Take a taxi to Humble Administrator's Garden immediately after breakfast. We have arrived at the main entrance of Humble Administrator's Garden just 8:30. It doesn't seem that there are many tourists in front of the door, although they still have to walk back along the fence, but the speed is very fast. After entering the main entrance, unlike in other gardens, walk and watch the flowers according to the strategy I have done in advance. Instead, I have carried out a deep tour and appreciation in two steps. The first step was to spend 180 yuan to ask a manual interpreter to take us to the main attractions for about an hour. After that, we visited for more than an hour, and stopped to enjoy it slowly, and took pictures. The only regret is that before I came, I knew that there was one of the most famous pens in the Humble Administrator's Garden, Baoen Temple Tower (Beisi Tower), I wanted to take a good photo. But there was a crane between the Beisi Tower and the Humble Administrator's Garden that day with a long crane arm tilted, which made it difficult to take pictures. This aspect is a pity, on the other hand, for the next time to come to Suzhou, and then visit the Humble Administrator's Garden reserved a perfect reason.
The park is really big, divided into three areas, East, Central and West, the central part is the essence of the park, the overall feeling layout is natural, but you have to go early, because there are too many tourists and a bit crowded
Humble Administrator's Garden, the representative of Jiangnan Gardens, the largest area of classical landscape gardens in Suzhou Gardens, is one of the four ancient gardens in Suzhou, and the largest and most famous one in Suzhou Gardens. It is listed in the World Heritage List, which can be called the classic Chinese private garden. Founded in the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty, the area of the park is about 83.5 mu, and the open area is about 73 mu. Among them, the central, western and late Qing Zhangzhiwan residence (now the old Suzhou Garden Museum) is the heritage of the late Qing Dynasty architecture and gardens, about 38 mu.
The first garden of the Humble Administrator's Garden was veritable. I entered the park before 8 o'clock. I lingered in it and took a lot of videos and photos. Unfortunately, I missed the flower season and only saw the rhododendron. 440 years of wisteria, white wood, magnolia, peach cherry blossoms, ramen blossoms, all perfect missed, of course, it is impossible to see all the flowers at once. Favorite the water and scenery near the reflection building.
Take the children to Suzhou together, visit the Lion Forest during the day, afraid that the children will become tired, so they set a night tour of the Humble Administrator's Garden. The experience is very good, the winter tour of the Humble Administrator's Garden, the night lights make up for the winter pale, the light and shadow effect, the interactive experience, the intersection of water and moon, the interpretation of Kunqu, it is worth seeing.
Suzhou Humble Administrator's Garden, one of China's four famous parks, is definitely a crowd of tourists in the sunny spring. After entering the park, scan the code at the explanation office to rent a voice guide for accompanying positioning. It is also very convenient to go anywhere. The Humble Administrator's Garden covers an area not small. Historically, tycoons and high officials have occupied it for a while, and literati and ink guests have lingered, and there are famous poems and paintings. Small landscapes, pavilions and pavilions, trees, flowers, a beautiful garden scenery.
