First, stay in the park.

Lingering Garden was listed as a national key cultural relic for the first time from 196 1. It covers an area of 23,365,438+00 square meters and is famous for its artistic way of dealing with the space between various architectural forms. Buildings account for one-third of the total area of the garden, among which the hall is the most striking in Suzhou. The garden is divided into central, eastern, northern and western parts. The ancestral temple and the house are located in the south of the garden.

The central part of the garden is the original site of Xudong Garden and Liuhanbi Garden, with artificial landscape in the west and garden courtyard in the east, which is the essence of the whole garden. East, North and West are the extensions of Sheng Garden. The east is famous for its peculiar limestone, the north is idyllic and the west is pleasant woody hills.

There is a winding walkway with a roof behind the small entrance of the garden, which leads to a quiet place, showing the clever use of the contrast between big and small, straight and curved, light and shadow. After a walk of about 50 meters, you can catch a glimpse of the semi-visible landscape garden behind the lattice window. Interestingly, this view is changing at every step.

The central part of the garden is centered on the lake, with artificial mountains in the northwest and many attractive buildings in the southwest, such as Hanbishan villa, transparent tower, shade pavilion, winding flow tower, Haopu pavilion and Qingfeng pavilion by the lake. These mountains are mainly composed of Yellowstone and mud. They are thought to have been designed and piled up by Zhou, and they look very old and spectacular. The amazing crane tower, the small garden of Shilin, and the oriental book returning study with Wufeng Tiangong as the main structure perfectly integrate indoor space and outdoor space. With the infinite call, they succeeded in becoming a maze.

The 6.5-meter-high Yunding Peak is the highest limestone in Suzhou classical gardens, flanked by Xiangyun and continuous Yunfeng. It is believed that it was left by the royal collectors in the Northern Song Dynasty. In order to highlight the Yunding Tower, a large number of buildings were built, including the old hermit's bookstore, Yunding Tower, Yunding Platform and Daiyun Temple. Now there is a bonsai garden in the north, with about 500 precious bonsai on display.

In the west of the garden, there is a beautiful example of an earthen mountain, which is covered with Yellowstone National Park and maple trees. There is a winding stream with peach trees and weeping willows on both sides.

The number of stone pillars in Lingering Gardens has never been surpassed by any other gardens in Suzhou. These precious stone tablets are engraved with the works of more than 100 calligraphers from Jin, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, revealing the evolution of China's calligraphy in the past 1000 years.

The park has 42 rooms and halls, 670-meter-long covered walkways, 200 different types of lattice windows, 44 parallel couplets and stone carvings, 373 stone pillars, and 17 precious ancient trees, such as ginkgo biloba and southern wisteria. Divided into 8 categories.

2. Humble Administrator's Garden is in Humble Administrator's Garden.

Gardens in China can be roughly divided into two categories: royal gardens, represented by the Summer Palace in Beijing and the summer resort in Chengde; Private gardens are represented by private gardens in Suzhou.

Humble Administrator's Garden is located in the northeast of Suzhou, with a total area of 5 1.950 square miles. It is the largest private garden in Suzhou and one of the four classical gardens in China (the other three are Summer Palace, chengde mountain resort and Suzhou Lingering Garden). At about 15 13, in the Ming dynasty, the imperial envoy Wang retired and returned to Suzhou, where he established his garden. The name Humble Administrator's Garden was inspired by an article "It is the policy of humble people to cultivate my garden and sell my vegetable crops".

This garden is a representative of the classical gardens of Ming Dynasty in China, with a central pond as the center and pavilions nearby. Humble Administrator's Garden is divided into three parts: East, Middle and West.

The central part is the essence of the garden. Shan Qi has beautiful water, exquisite architecture and lush flowers and trees, which reminds people of the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River. After careful consideration, the designer of the garden adopted the architectural technique of "borrowing scenery" in this part of the layout, aiming at expanding the horizons in a limited space. Looking west, you can see a pagoda located in Xiyuan, which is actually located at 1 km away from Xiyuan.

The buildings in the west of the garden are built by the lake, the most important of which are the 36 Yuanyang Hall and the 18 Camellia Hall. Both halls are equipped with ancient furniture, and paintings and calligraphy are hung on the walls, which reflects the owner's leisurely life. At the end of the West Garden is a bonsai garden, which displays about 700 bonsai trees and is worth visiting.

Humble Administrator's Garden is a typical representative of garden art in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is an art treasure house integrating architecture, calligraphy, sculpture, painting and bonsai art. Yu 196 1 is listed as a national key cultural relic.

Third, lion grove garden.

Shizilin Garden is located at No.23 Garden Road in the northeast of Suzhou. This city has profound cultural heritage and convenient development advantages. Lion Forest Garden is one of the four classical gardens in Suzhou. The other three are Bibo Pavilion (Canglang Tower), Lingering Garden (Liuyuan) and Humble Administrator's Garden (Zhuozhengyuan).

Lion Grove Garden was built in Yuan Dynasty (1279-1368)1342. It was built by Tian Ru monks and a group of Zen disciples to commemorate their master monk, and its name was changed many times. Its changeable history is due to the fact that the monk Zhongfeng once realized Taoism in Lion Cliff in West Tianmu Mountain, Zhejiang Province. There are many grotesque stones in the garden that look like lions. Its original name was Lion Forest, which was changed to Bodhi Orthodox Temple (Bodhi Zong Zheng) in 1342. Lion Forest Garden was once the center of literati and Buddhist activities. Many paintings and poems are inspired by the gardens at this time.

After the death of monk Tian Ru, his disciples were dissolved, and the Lion Grove Garden became increasingly dilapidated. In the Ming Dynasty 1589 (1368- 1644), Ming Xing monks asked for donations to rebuild the Qing Kangxi period (1644-1911). Huang Xingzu, the governor of Hengzhou, bought this garden and renamed it Sheyuan. His son, Huang Zai 177 1 restored and decorated the garden and gave it a new name-Wusongyuan. The good times didn't last long-Lion Forest Garden was abandoned again because of the fall of the Huang family, and was bought by the Bay family on 19 17. After the liberation of China, Lion Forest Garden was donated to People's Republic of China (PRC). Since then, the garden has entered a stable and well-protected period.

Covering an area of about10,000 square meters (2.5 acres), Lion Forest Garden is an ideal tourist attraction because of its rich decorative pavilions and towers of different styles. Everyone has their own history and story. Zhenqu Pavilion is known as the most magnificent building in Lion Forest Garden because of its royal style. Emperor Qianlong of Qing Dynasty visited the garden six times in 1765 and wrote a plaque for it. Xue nave (Li Xuetang) got its name from a Buddhist story about a devout Zen believer who stood in the snow all night to worship his master. Yingmeige is a place where painters and poets create. Except for the plum trees around the exhibition hall, all the furniture and utensils in it are decorated or carved with beautiful plum blossom patterns. In addition, the Lion Grove also preserved many precious inscriptions, paintings and calligraphy, including Panorama by Ni Yunlin (also known as Ni Zan), a famous painter in the Ming Dynasty, and Twelve Scenes of the Lion Grove by Xu Ben.

However, as a representative garden of Yuan Dynasty, the most striking scenery of Lion Forest Garden is a labyrinth rockery, which is mainly made of limestone from Taihu Lake in Wuxi. The rocks known as the "rockery kingdom" are cleverly piled up, and most of them look like lions with different postures and verve: playing, roaring, fighting, sleeping and even dancing. It is said that looking from the small square hall to the north, you can see nine stone lions lined up, that is, the Nine Lion Peak. Due to the change and destruction of time and climate, the mountain peaks are almost similar to lines now. A total of 9 paths and 2/kloc-0 caves pass through steep peaks, steep cliffs and narrow valleys composed of countless grotesque rocks. Through the numerous winding paths and caves in the intricate first forest, people can easily get lost. Ancient pine and cypress trees, the whole landscape represents the real scene of mountains and forests.

The overall structure of Lion Forest Garden embodies the Zen style and is a model of garden architecture. Part of the Qing Dynasty Royal Summer Resort in Chengde, Hebei Province is an imitation of Lion Forest Garden. This garden occupies a very important position in history and represents the diversity of cultural and architectural development in Suzhou for many years.

Fourth, Canglangting Canglangting Garden

Canglang Pavilion is one of the oldest gardens in Suzhou, located near Sanyuanfang in the south of Suzhou. Canglang Pavilion is the first famous garden in Suzhou with its simple structure and elegant and lively windows. Because the garden is a place for public activities, it is open.
