Information
The Humble Administrator's Garden, located in the northeast corner of the ancient city of Suzhou, was built in the early years of the Ming Zhengde period. It covers an area of about 52,000 square meters and is the largest existing classical garden in Suzhou. It was established in 1509 during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). Over the centuries, the Humble Administrator's Garden has undergone several changes, serving as a "private" residence, a "golden house" for hiding beauties, and a "prince's residence" for governance, leaving behind many intriguing relics and anecdotes. The entire garden is centered around water, with mountains and water intertwining, exquisite halls and pavilions, and lush flowers and trees, showcasing the rich characteristics of the Jiangnan water town. The garden is divided into three parts: east, middle, and west. The east garden is open and spacious, the middle garden is the essence of the entire garden, and the west garden features exquisite architecture, each with its own characteristics. To the south of the garden is a residential area, reflecting the typical multi-courtyard layout of traditional Jiangnan residences. There is also the Suzhou Garden Museum to the south, which is a museum dedicated to gardens. The Humble Administrator's Garden, along with the Summer Palace in Beijing, the Chengde Mountain Resort, and the Lingering Garden in Suzhou, is known as one of China's four famous gardens. The garden has beautiful scenery in all four seasons, and no matter when you visit, you will be moved by the beauty within. If you come to Suzhou, you must not miss it. The tour of the garden is on foot, and a visit time of about 1-2 hours is recommended.
