Locals tell you, one garden in Suzhou is enough!

Visiting Suzhou without exploring its classical gardens would be a wasted trip. However, if you're short on time and can't visit all four major gardens, locals recommend just one—the Lion Grove Garden. Lion Grove Garden is already exquisitely delicate, and it's currently hosting a chrysanthemum exhibition, serving as the main venue. A variety of chrysanthemum bonsais compete in beauty, the garden's ginkgoes have turned yellow, the maple leaves red, and with the recent crystal-clear blue skies, it's simply a feast for the eyes, perfect for taking photos📸 with great results. When visiting Lion Grove Garden, you must climb the most famous rockery, which is like a three-dimensional maze, so interesting. But be careful when it's crowded! Visiting Lion Grove Garden is recommended to book in advance, especially during holidays when visitor flow is controlled. p.s. The Humble Administrator's Garden is very close to Lion Grove Garden, just a 10-minute walk away. However, after visiting the exquisite Lion Grove Garden, you might find the Humble Administrator's Garden a bit dull.
