Lion Forest Garden Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Lion Forest Garden, Humble Administrator's Garden, Lingering Garden, and Canglang Pavilion are collectively known as the “Four Famous Suzhou Gardens”. The Lion Forest was built in the Yuan Dynasty and was originally a back garden of Zen temples. It was later purchased as a private residence. This garden was treasured by Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, who always stayed here during his visits to Southern China. Although the Lion Grove Garden is small, the artificial mountains in the park are very well-known. The strange rocks resemble dancing lions. The connection between the artificial mountains is not dissimilar to a maze. You can play hide-and-seek in the stone maze or count the number of observable stone lions.

Lion Forest Garden Photos: Trip Moments
Locals tell you, one garden in Suzhou is enough!Visiting Suzhou without exploring its classical gardens would be a wasted trip. However, if you're short on time and can't visit all four major gardens, locals recommend just one—the Lion Grove Garden. Lion Grove Garden is already exquisitely delicate, and it's currently hosting a chrysanthemum exhibition, serving as the main venue. A variety of chrysanthemum bonsais compete in beauty, the garden's ginkgoes have turned yellow, the maple leaves red, and with the recent crystal-clear blue skies, it's simply a feast for the eyes, perfect for taking photos📸 with great results. When visiting Lion Grove Garden, you must climb the most famous rockery, which is like a three-dimensional maze, so interesting. But be careful when it's crowded! Visiting Lion Grove Garden is recommended to book in advance, especially during holidays when visitor flow is controlled. p.s. The Humble Administrator's Garden is very close to Lion Grove Garden, just a 10-minute walk away. However, after visiting the exquisite Lion Grove Garden, you might find the Humble Administrator's Garden a bit dull.stellan_4861

Push open the gates to spring in the Lion Grove GardenLion Grove Garden is one of the four famous gardens in Suzhou, located in the western part of Suzhou city. The garden's scenery centers around a pond, blending mountains and water harmoniously, with lush flowers and trees, and pavilions and towers scattered in an orderly fashion. The magnolia trees are a major feature of the Lion Grove Garden. Every early spring, the magnolias bloom at their best, exuding a fragrance that attracts many tourists to come and admire. In the Lion Grove Garden, magnolia trees are distributed in every corner, some beside rockeries, some by the pond, and some next to pavilions. When spring arrives and the magnolia flowers bloom, the entire garden is enveloped in their fragrance, as if one has stepped into a fairyland. In the Lion Grove Garden, there are many different varieties of magnolia flowers, such as the white 'Suxin' and 'Xuetao', with their delicate and soft petals emitting a strong fragrance.

The Lion Grove Garden in SuzhouThe Lion Grove Garden is a classical garden in Suzhou, Jiangsu, China, located at No. 23 Yuanlin Road in the northeastern corner of the Suzhou city area, covering an area of 11,120 square meters. The Lion Grove Garden is one of the four famous gardens in Suzhou and represents the Dai garden style. It is also the only remaining example of China's early grotto-style rockery groups and is known as the "Kingdom of Rockeries". The Lion Grove Garden not only has the cultural landscape of pavilions, terraces, towers, attics, halls, and galleries that are typical of Suzhou classical gardens but is also world-famous for its lake and mountain rocks and deep and secluded grottoes, earning the reputation of the "Kingdom of Rockeries". The rockeries of the Lion Grove Garden are both numerous and exquisite, with the lake rocks being delicate, the grottoes winding, and the paths twisting and turning as if entering a maze, known as the "Eighteen Scenes of the Peach Blossom Land". The tops of the grottoes are lined with strange peaks and rocks, all resembling dancing lions, with famous peaks such as Huanhui, Tuyue, Xuan Yu, and Ang Xia. "The best place in the city is the Lion Grove, where one seeks the light rain and gentle breeze." Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty visited Jiangnan six times and held the Lion Grove Garden in high esteem, inscribing poems to praise its beauty and twice bestowing the words "True Interest", reflecting his unique fondness for the Lion Grove Garden. Although the Lion Grove Garden is small, only 16 acres, roughly one-fifth the size of the Humble Administrator's Garden, it is world-famous for its lake rockeries. The rockeries in the garden are majestic, with ingenious designs and cleverly winding grottoes. In the rockery forest, one can clearly see the pavilion ahead, but after turning around, it seems impossible to find the way out, as if entering a labyrinth, which is really interesting! The garden, which is over 600 years old, has been visited by so many people that the rocks have been polished smooth and shiny, and the stone steps are slippery. Elderly people and children must be careful when visiting on rainy days.CATHERINE MANN

I thought the Humble Administrator's Garden was the pinnacle until I encounteredThe gardens of Jiangnan, including the Lion Grove Garden, are also exquisitely beautiful. Every door, window, wall tile, table, chair, and plant in the garden has its own beauty, and the Taihu rocks are stacked layer upon layer, with strange shapes and full of charm. The lake water reflects the blue sky and white clouds, the lotus leaves seem to grow in the sky, and the fish appear to swim in the heavens. I love to watch the slowly shifting light and shadows in the garden and the gently trembling bamboo forest; time seems to slow down at this moment. 'Garden days are spent in delight,' once you have seen the gardens of Jiangnan, it's easy to become fascinated, addicted.SAVANNA MARTIN

The Lion Forest, the courtyard is deeply deep and the second stop of the Suzhou trip. The Lion Forest is a monk to the private to the state. The owner changes and changes, and the repairs are round after round. The Lion Forest is worth it. The diamond head hole is very interesting, the design is exquisite and attentive, the landscape is very beautiful, and the impression is very deep. The Lion Forest is really dense in landscape. Although it is not as big as the Humble Administrator's Garden, it has a deep and deep courtyard, and it is a bit of fun to move one step at a time!
One of the four major gardens in Suzhou, named after the rockery. I didn't feel anything special when I first entered, and I didn't appreciate its wonderfulness. I listened to the explanation of the tour guide before I understood the good intentions of the craftsmen and opened a happy trip. What really opened people's eyes was that they passed the treasure of their town garden and entered the back garden. This is simply a paradise for children. Hidden and hiding can play for a day. The rockery monster stone maze will get lost when it comes up and down to meet this road. Who can only meet in two directions recommended recommended recommended recommended recommended recommended
It's a lovely place to visit. A classic Suzhou garden and the housing that are attached to it. Well described historical markers and delightful examples of bonzai trees everywhere. Gorgeous stained glass windows. The rock garden was exquisite. As always, visiting during a national holiday is not recommended as it's insanely crowded.
