China - Suzhou the city of Gardens

Amidst the current development of this beauty city, Suzhou still retains the charm of its ancient past. Take a stroll along the streets, one can feel and view landscape that remind us of its long history.

Suzhou is well known for its gardens, in my opinion, these gardens are the best and most well kept in China...Matter of fact, some has been listed in the World Heritage list. These gardens were constructed to withstand the test of time, and each has its natural beauty and unique attractions. Go to any travel site, and you will get loans of information pertaining to the famous classical gardens and exquisite water townships.

Here are some photos I have taken in Suzhou one autumn. One has to be there to experience the beautiful scenery and fresh air. Ideally, get a guide to explain the elaborate thought process behind the traditional architectural. Every structure was built according to the Chinese Feng Shui 風水, harmonizing nature and man.




Just outside the gardens, the streets are bustling with activities. What caught my eyes was an adorable little girl, standing outside her shop as if waiting for us to come.

How to get there?
Suzhou is accessible by all mode of transportation. We took a day trip that include tasting of local cuisines. If time permits, spend a few days to enjoy the serenity of this city...enjoy it while sipping a cup of tea at any teahouse.
