Outstanding

Exploring the Suzhou Museum on your own is like "looking at the building," but a guided tour is like "reading the story of Jiangnan." This time, I booked a guided tour with Director Jiao, who started with I.M. Pei's concept of "Chinese yet modern, Suzhou yet modern," and immediately explained the rockery, the light and shadow corridor, and the framed views. The celadon lotus bowl, the pearl reliquary, and the painted wooden casket of the Four Heavenly Kings were no longer cold exhibits, but stories of Song Dynasty aesthetics, Wu region craftsmanship, and the eastward transmission of Buddhism. The tour was unscripted and unhurried, with a comfortable pace, and I gained a lot. They even guided us to avoid peak hours. It turns out that the Suzhou Museum's "white walls and gray tiles" conceal the entire city of Suzhou. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
