I go to Suzhou several times a year, and I always remember the countless encounters with those gardens. I have been to many gardens several times, but there is always a sense of freshness, which is irresistible. Among them, many gardens are not crowded even on weekends. Compared with the well-known gardens such as the Humble Administrator's Garden and the Lion Grove, wandering in these gardens always gives people a leisurely and comfortable feeling. Sitting on the bluestone, watching the green water around the pavilion, listening to the willow waves and cicadas, tasting a pot of tea, letting time slow down, this is the way of life that should be on the weekend! 6 less crowded treasure gardens for the weekend ①Cou Garden No. 3 Canglangting Street, Gusu District, located opposite Canglangting Exit 2 of Sanyuanfang on Line 4, about 500 meters walk after getting off Opening hours 07:30~17:00 ②Huanxiu Villa No. 272 Jingde Road, Gusu District Exit 1a of Chayuanchang Station on Line 4, need to walk 960 meters Opening hours 08:30~16:30 ③Yi Garden Yi Garden, Taohuawu Street, Gusu District Exit 5 of Chayuanchang Station on Line 4, still 1.5 kilometers away, you can go to Huanxiu Villa before going to Yi Garden Opening hours 07:30~17:30 ④Couple's Garden No. 6 Xiaoxin Lane, Neicang Street, Gusu District Exit 3 of Xiangmen Station on Line 1, about 750 meters Opening hours 07:00~17:30 ⑤Yi Garden No. 1265 Renmin Road, Gusu District Exit 8 of Leqiao Station on Line 4, about 200 meters Opening hours 07:30~17:00 ⑥Master of the Nets Garden No. 11 Kuojiatou Lane, Daichengqiao Road, Gusu District Exit 4 of Nanyuan North Road Station on Line 5, about 600 meters Opening hours 07:30~17:00 How to experience Suzhou gardens from multiple angles ①Suzhou gardens perfectly create a deep and far-reaching artistic conception that changes with every step through eight major landscaping techniques such as borrowing scenery and framing scenery, giving people a magical experience of seeing the big from the small. ②Every time I go to Suzhou gardens, I am always attracted by various window frame designs in the garden. It is simply a window, a painting, a world. The window frame seems to put in the sunshine, and also puts in the full garden of spring. ③I also like to observe some corners that no one cares about, watching moss climb all over the wall, like a natural ink painting, the wall is paper, moss is ink, and bamboo enters the painting. The charm is full and makes people linger.
