Suzhou Gardens-private gardens built in ancient China
Most of the gardens in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, were private gardens built in ancient China. They are tranquil, exquisite, elegant, and harmonious with nature.
Accordingly the builders invented ingenious techniques to put a cramped space to best use. There are flowers and trees, pools, hills, and pavilions, thus forming a natural yet richly landscaped environment. The most famous gardens in Suzhou are the Humble Administrator’s Garden, the Garden to Linger In, the Wangshi Garden, and the Lions Grove.
