Suzhou Gardens -- World Culture Heritage
Classical gardens have been a local obsession in Suzhou for centuries, and a set of distinctive design principles lie behind the city's elegant gardens.  Suzhou's gardens' differ quite dramatically from many gardens in the West - they are neither like the grand geometric gardens of France, nor the rambling, semi-natural gardens of England and America. . . 

Humble administrators garden
The Humble Administrator's garden is widely recognized as one of the finest classical gardens, not only in Suzhou, but in all of China. . . 

Tiger Hill
Celebrated in poems and a favorite sight of emperors, the Tiger Hill in the north of Suzhou remains just as captivating today, with a rich historical atmosphere, an ancient leaning pagoda, and centuries old relics in a beautiful natural setting. . .

Lion Grove Garden 
The Lion Grove Garden is perhaps the most distinctive of all of Suzhou's gardens, and probably the most fun to visit. . .

LiuYuan
The Liu Yuan, or Lingering Garden, is one of Suzhou's finest gardens and has been registered as a UNESCO World Heritage site. . .

Canglang Ting
The oldest of Suzhou's classical gardens, the Pavilion of Calm Waves (Canglang Ting) has perhaps the most natural mood. It incorporates a nearby canal, a small wooded hill, and a meandering, almost maze-like arrangement of walkways, groves, and walls to create a feeling of great size, natural calm, and unexpected surprises. . . 

Jichang Garden
While many of Wuxi's most famous gardens are along the shores of Lake Taihu, one of the city's most beautiful sights, the Jichang Garden and Qin family mansion, are located in the north of the city, between two hills. . .

He/Ge Yuan
Yangzhou boasts two excellent smaller gardens, called the He Yuan and the Ge Yuan. . .
