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 Travel Guide Simple and easy to understand📍Suzhou three-day two-night itinerary | Suzhou is charming at any time👀||| Day 1🎈: Arrive at Suzhou Station at 19:12, proceed to the hotel for check-in. Take Line 4 for just 1 stop to reach Beisita Station, then walk for 10 minutes to the hotel. After placing the luggage, take a bus to Shantang Street, where the night view is stunning, and it's bustling with people (the bus stop is right outside the hotel | The bus stations in Suzhou are all built in a retro style, which greatly surprised me as an outsider🤩. On the bus, I also met a warm-hearted Suzhou grandpa, who knew we were tourists and kindly told us where to get off and where to start exploring Shantang Street more appropriately). Day 2🎈: Visit the Humble Administrator's Garden (80 yuan/person) and the Suzhou Museum (free reservation, closed on Mondays, be sure to book in advance) in the morning | The hotel I stayed at is just 2 bus stops away from the Suzhou Museum, and the Humble Administrator's Garden is closely adjacent to the Suzhou Museum. In the afternoon, head to Pingjiang Road, which is 5 bus stops away. Pingjiang Road is a must-visit place in Suzhou, as the saying goes, 'A single Pingjiang Road, half of Gusu city,' and it lives up to its reputation. Had dinner at a restaurant named Taohuayuanji on Pingjiang Road (see picture 7), which was affordable, and also tried the 'Emperor's Smile' favored by Wei Wuxian. Additionally, I happened to come across a celebrity filming, heard someone say it was Chen Zheyuan, but unfortunately, I did not see him. In the evening, went to the Gate of the Orient, took photos with the iconic building of Suzhou, and watched the fountain show at Jinji Lake (for specific show times, you can follow the Suzhou Industrial Park official WeChat account. I thought I had missed the fountain⛲️ show, but it turned out I just caught the 8:30 one). Day 3🎈: In the morning, visit Beisita (free), which is about a 10-minute walk from my hotel, then take the bus for 13 stops, about 20 minutes to reach Hanshan Temple (18 yuan/person), and saw the 'Night Mooring by Maple Bridge' from the books. The itinerary on the third day was not rushed, only visiting these two places, slowly savoring the charm of Suzhou, then returning to the hotel to pick up luggage, and heading to the next destination.OwenFletcher81

The moment I stepped into the Humble Administrator's Garden, I felt like I was brought into a classical and exquisite Jiangnan water town. This historic garden, with its unique charm and layout, made me feel the charm of traditional Chinese garden art.
The Humble Administrator's Garden is worthy of being one of the four famous gardens in China. It is picturesque, with flowing water shuttled in the garden, and the buildings are scattered in the garden, and the heights are scattered. On the landscape, a variety of techniques are applied, and cash is withdrawn for borrowing and framed scenes, as well as beautiful flower windows.
The Humble Administrator's Garden is a representative work of classical gardens in the south of the Yangtze River. It was built in the early years of Mingzhengde. It is a theme of water and has a beautiful layout. It is divided into three parts: East, Middle and West. The middle is the essence, the pool is wide, the trees are lush, and the scenery is natural. Humble Administrator's Garden is known as one of the "Four Famous Gardens in China", and is now a key cultural relics protection unit in the country, and is a must-visit place to visit Jiangnan gardens.
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.
Reported to Ctrip's East China Group, the weather is particularly good, the experience is very good! The most impressive is the Humble Administrator's Garden, the scenery is picturesque, recommend Feng Hongmei tour guide's group, the tour guide is warm and responsible!
There are too many people, affecting the mood of viewing. I went there once on Saturday, queued up to the main road, decisively gave up, and went again on Monday. There were many fewer people in line than on Saturday. It was still overcrowded into the garden. Many attractions were closed for maintenance, resulting in many roads being dead alleys. Everyone crowded to just a few roads, can't walk, there are fewer people in the afternoon, the main attractions have been seen, there are still a few pavilions that have not been seen, the Humble Administrator's Garden is still worth seeing, it is recommended to go in the afternoon
