Humble Administrator's Garden Photos: Trip Moments
Before you go to Suzhou, listen to my advice!Suzhou gives me a very healing feeling, as life here moves at a slow pace. Taking a break without feeling guilty is possible. Sitting on a small bridge in the Pingjiang Road historical district (free) and watching an old man play chess across the river, young people chatting and laughing on a boat, and girls in qipao taking photos under the trees is very comfortable and leisurely... (For sisters who love photography, you can buy a qipao or Hanfu before going to Suzhou, it's very photogenic) The local delicacies are made delicately and exquisitely, with a dazzling variety of pastries and diverse fillings, giving a sense of a small sparrow with all its vital organs. (Too much can be cloying, so taste in moderation) The noodles are slightly sweet, and the dishes tend to be sweet as well. If you're not used to it, prepare some chili oil or Lao Gan Ma in advance, otherwise, after a few days here, your blood sugar will soar! This is advice from someone from Hubei. The main attractions are gardens, which best represent Suzhou's aesthetics. The structure of the garden construction and some of the bonsai shapes are very characteristic of Suzhou style, and you will be captivated by the classical Chinese beauty here. The Lion Grove Garden and the Humble Administrator's Garden are similar in style, and you only need to visit one. They both require an entrance fee of 70/80 RMB. The commercial streets are mainly beautiful at night. In the evening, Shantang Street (free) is very crowded, with alleys on both sides of the small river packed with people. There are snacks, pubs, music, etc. (Be mindful of your belongings! With the crowds, it's easy to get separated from friends.) After staying in Suzhou for four days, it was very pleasing to the eyes, as I really like the scenery and the classical atmosphere here. The only thing is that I'm not quite used to the sweet taste of the food, but everything else is greatMAKENZIE COHEN3

Encounter the treasure of autumn travel📍 Yunnan·China The autumn in Yunnan is like the most beautiful color on the palette of nature. Blue sky, white clouds, clear waters, and green mountains compose a colorful painting. In this season, experiencing the Bai culture in Dali, strolling through the ancient town of Lijiang, and exploring the snow-capped mountains and meadows in Shangri-La are all perfect encounters with autumn. 📍 Tibet·China The autumn in Tibet is a mysterious and magnificent land. The golden wheat fields shimmer under the sunlight, and the nomadic people's leisurely life intertwines with the faith of Tibetan Buddhism under the azure sky. Circumambulating in Lhasa, admiring the autumn at Yamdrok Lake, and feeling the grandeur of nature at Mount Everest will fill you with awe and longing for this land. 📍 Suzhou·Jiangsu The autumn in Suzhou is leisurely and elegant. The maple leaves turn red, the autumn breeze cools, and the tour boats shuttle through the ancient canals, as if returning to the dream of the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River. In Suzhou, taste a cup of fragrant tea from the gardens, walk through the winding paths of the Humble Administrator's Garden, and feel the charm of the culture of the south. 📍 Nanjing·Jiangsu The autumn in Nanjing reflects the city's historical prosperity and modern vibrancy. Climbing the Purple Mountain, visiting the Confucius Temple, and wandering around the Laomendong area, you can feel Nanjing's profound cultural heritage. Strolling along the Qinhuai River and listening to a tune of Qinhuai ballads, you'll feel as if you're in a bygone era on an autumn evening. 📍 Guizhou·China The autumn in Guizhou is colorful and mysterious. Amidst the green mountains and clear waters, the unique customs of various ethnic minorities such as the Miao, Dong, and Buyi are hidden. Going to Southeast Guizhou to experience the pristine natural scenery, to Guiyang to experience the charm of a modern city, and to Libo to explore the millennia-old karst landscape is a journey into the colorful secrets of Guizhou. Autumn is a great season for travel. Whether following the sunshine into Yunnan, feeling the mystery of the highland Tibet; whether admiring the ancient city of Suzhou under the flowers and moon, or experiencing the historical depth of Nanjing; whether exploring the colorful secret realms of Guizhou, you can find the beauty of travel that belongs to you in this season. The harvest is not just the scenery, but also the sedimentation and shock of the soul. May we meet a better self in this autumn. 🍁🍂W.ll.@m K.ng

Suzhou! Truly a paradise on earth!Following the trend was the most successful this time A real-life version of the Dream of Splendor The most comprehensive two-day, one-night guide to Suzhou Shantang Street is really crowded But the sunset and night view are truly beautiful! Sitting on a black-awning boat is so romantic～ There are too many delicious things on Pingjiang Road! It takes more than half an hour to walk down one street, all spent eating and drinking (There's also Guanqian Street, which I think every city has, more or less the same) Suzhou·Jiangsu I love Hanshan Temple, it's so beautiful～ It's not inferior to the neighboring Lingyin Temple (remember to buy incense at the entrance in advance, it's more cost-effective!) The pond full of koi is really stunning In the morning, you can have a bowl of the famous vegetarian noodles nearby You can finish touring the Humble Administrator's Garden in about fifteen minutes (not free) It's not as amazing as I imagined But it's still pretty good for taking photos It turns out that the Suzhou Museum and the Lion Grove Garden are on the same route You can plan to finish them in half a day You need to book the museum one week in advance! (The picture is of the main museum, the West Museum can be booked one day in advance) But the museum is really, really, really beautiful and photogenic! The area selling souvenirs is also worth a long visit! Lots of desirable items～ The old man on Pingjiang Road who paints names is already booked until December ! So scary! Families, come early to reserve a spot right at the entrance Soak in a hot spring♨️ If you have enough time, you can drive to Wang Yan Hot Springs I heard it's the biggest outdoor hot spring in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai, and it's really fun! And there's a pool full of little yellow ducks! So fun you won't want to leave! Food category : 1. To eat the 'Crab Three Treasures,' you need to reserve two and a half hours (You can queue up first and then go to Pingjiang Road and the Humble Administrator's Garden, there's plenty of time) 2. There's really no need to go out of your way to buy the siu mai from Dongguan Took a 40-minute ride to check it out, and it was not impressive at all 3. The three stores of 'Tea Color Misty Rain' are all on Pingjiang Road, but they are super crowded The photos look good, but the trash cans are full of unfinished milk tea, you know what I mean! 4. 'Overlord Tea Princess' is quite popular, but it's really good Little Tea Color Delight is truly 5. The six-grid puzzle dish, called 'Xin Meihua,' is frequented by locals, delicious!ExpeditionDreamer#22
Chinese Aesthetics·Suzhou GardensLocation: Suzhou's Humble Administrator's Garden Every step reveals a scene so exquisitely beautiful that it defies description. One cannot help but marvel at the sophisticated aesthetic of the ancients. A gentle breeze wafts through the garden, and the crabapple blossoms sway like little pink bells in the wind. Paired with the garden's framed views, they fill the scene with the colors of spring in the Jiangnan region. Warm spring sunlight is refracted by the lake's surface, Casting shimmering golden reflections on the ancient walls of the garden. In an instant, Suzhou transforms into the poetic and picturesque city of Gusu as depicted in paintings. This is what Li Qingzhao wrote about in her poetry: "I ask the person rolling up the screen, but he says the crabapple remains the same. Do you know, do you know? It should be that the green is plump and the red slender." Pro tip: Be sure to choose a sunny day, the feeling is completely different!briannalikesadenovirus

A day in Gusu, revisiting the old places!Traveling from Wuxi to Suzhou, this time I chose to stay in the old city area, which is closer to various attractions, making dining, lodging, and transportation very convenient. The small city and small scenes are full of life! The old city area of Suzhou has largely maintained its original appearance, with no high-rise buildings, white walls and black tiles, small bridges over flowing water, and an antique charm! A day in Gusu, in the morning, visit the Lion Grove Garden, Humble Administrator's Garden, and Suzhou Museum together, and in the afternoon, go to Tiger Hill, Maple Bridge/Cold Mountain Temple, and Lingering Garden for a tour. The Lion Grove Garden is one of the four famous gardens in Suzhou, and the most famous feature is the lake rockery, where the rocks resemble lions, forming a 'forest of lions'! The Humble Administrator's Garden is ranked first among the four famous gardens in China and is a model of classical gardens in the south of the Yangtze River. It is famous for its long history, natural style, and elegant scenery. The Suzhou Museum was originally established in 1960 at the site of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's Loyalty King's Mansion. In 2006, the Suzhou Museum designed by I.M. Pei was completed. The new museum combines traditional Suzhou architectural style with modern minimalist architectural features, looking both classical and elegant as well as fresh and beautiful! 'The foremost scenic spot in the land south of the Yangtze River,' they say, is Tiger Hill. The most famous attractions of Tiger Hill are the Tiger Hill Pagoda and the Sword Pool. The Tiger Hill Pagoda is the world's second most leaning tower and has a history of over a thousand years. This seven-story, eight-sided tower is 47.7 meters tall and leans towards the northeast. The top of the tower is 2.34 meters off-center, with a maximum inclination of 3 degrees and 59 minutes, and the Tiger Hill Pagoda is also known as 'China's Leaning Tower of Pisa.' From above, the Sword Pool resembles a flat-lying sword and is the most mysterious place in Tiger Hill, with many legends surrounding it. 'Moon sets, crows cry, frost fills the sky; Maple trees and fishermen's lights face my sleepless sorrow. Outside Gusu city, Cold Mountain Temple, midnight bell reaches the passenger boat.' This timeless quatrain has made the famous Cold Mountain Temple in Gusu. Once one of China's ten famous temples, the temple has many ancient relics, including the stone inscription of Zhang Ji's poem 'Mooring by Maple Bridge at Night,' stone carvings of Hanshan and Shide, fragments of inscriptions written by Wen Zhengming and Tang Yin, and outside the temple, the ancient Maple Bridge. The Lingering Garden is one of the four famous gardens in China, a large classical private garden representing the Qing Dynasty style. The garden is known for its architectural art, with spacious and magnificent halls, courtyards full of changes, and an irregular layout that integrates garden buildings with mountains, water, and rocks to create a natural charm, truly unique!BRIDGER POWELL

This is the first garden I visited in Suzhou! It's really beautiful! I will come again if I have a chance in the future!
The scenery is still very good, but today Sunday, the crowd of Wuqi seriously affects the experience. I advise friends not to go on holidays. There are really too many people. It is best to find a tour guide to explain it. You can get a lot of knowledge. 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
The Humble Administrator's Garden is worthy of being the first of the four major gardens, the mother of Chinese gardens, step by step is the scenery, and it looks good everywhere. I used to go to see the flowers. I did a little homework before I went this time. I paid attention to its characteristics, obstacles, leaks, borrowing scenery, etc., and it was really hidden. The Humble Administrator's Garden can store luggage for free at the entrance, which is very good. I hope to add another service: 2 free explanations per day.

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.
