    "Humble Administrator's Garden is one of the four major gardens in Suzhou. The whole garden is divided into three parts: East, Middle and West. A large number of flowers are planted in the garden, pavilions are built near the water, and there are rockery scattered, giving people a small bridge and flowing water. It is best to go early, there are fewer people to take pictures, otherwise there are many tourists and there are people everywhere. The whole park is not very big, and it is enough to visit for an hour or two. It is a two hundred meters walk from the Humble Administrator's Garden to the Pingjiang Road block, so these two attractions can be visited together."

    "Not bad, with Suzhou Museum, Humble Administrator's Garden, Pingjiang Road, very classic one-day route, ticket price is OK, personally feel that the lion forest can come to stroll, there are many stones and bamboo, and there are some differences with other gardens."
    Suzhou.Guanqian Street/Pingjiang Street/Downtown
    >100km from Xuyi
    Highlights: Lion Forest Garden, Humble Administrator's Garden, Lingering Garden, and Canglang Pavilion are collectively known as the “Four Famous Suzhou Gardens”. The Lion Forest was built in the Yuan Dynasty and was originally a back garden of Zen temples. It was later purchased as a private residence. This garden was treasured by Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, who always stayed here during his visits to Southern China. Although the Lion Grove Garden is small, the artificial mountains in the park are very well-known. The strange rocks resemble dancing lions. The connection between the artificial mountains is not dissimilar to a maze. You can play hide-and-seek in the stone maze or count the number of observable stone lions.

    "The Qinhuai River cruise ship in the matinee is also very good. There are not many people.

Here you can visit a large group of gardens, take a boat to feel the vastness of Taihu Lake, climb Taihu Fairy Island to explore the secrets, or come here in spring to enjoy the cherry blossoms and experience the artistic conception of "Taihu Lake is the best place, after all, Yuantouzhu".The blooming of cherry blossoms every spring is a great spectacle here, and there is also a lively Cherry Blossom Festival.Yuantouzhu is surrounded by water on three sides.

There are many types of early cherry blossoms, and the flowering period (from initial opening, full bloom to flower falling) is one week. The late cherry blossom period can be 7-10 days. Affected by the temperature rise rate, there is a 5-12 day interval between the early and late flowering periods, during which some hybrid varieties of cherry blossoms bloom. Generally, Somei Yoshino cherry blossoms enter the peak flowering period in mid-to-late March, which is the best viewing period. The specific period of peak flowering depends on the weather at the time. If there is cold air, the peak flowering period may be delayed.You can enjoy beautiful lotus flowers in summer.Yuantouzhu also has many historical sites and private gardens built by celebrities in the past, such as Hengyun Villa with the gatehouse of "the best place in Taihu Lake" and Changchun Bridge, and Guangfu Temple, an ancient temple in Wuxi.

The entire Attraction is mainly composed of Yuantouzhu Peninsula, Taihu Fairy Island, and Zhongdu Mountain. It takes about a whole day to visit all the attractions.

    "The Tiger Hill Scenic Area is mainly to see the Tiger Hill Tower, which is said to be the second leaning tower in the world. Under the tower, I really feel that the tower is tilted so badly. At present, the tower is protected and can only be viewed from a distance and cannot enter. There are several other famous attractions in the scenic area, such as Jianchi, Zhenniang Tomb, Erxian Pavilion, Guanyin Palace, etc., you can stroll around and take pictures. The Huqiu Mountain Scenic Area is not very big overall, and it is almost the same as setting aside two or three hours to play. Then you can take a boat to the Shantang Street scenic spot at the entrance of the scenic spot to continue shopping."

    >100km from Xuyi
