I went to Suzhou for a trip and came to Tongli Ancient Town. Tuisi Garden is the most famous attraction in the ancient town. It is one of the representatives of Jiangnan Gardens. It was built in the Qing Dynasty Guangxu 11-13. The whole garden includes sitting in the Spring Wangyue Book Building, the piano room, Tuisi Caotang, and the red one. Mianyun Pavilion and other Suzhou characteristic buildings. The retreat garden was originally Ren Lansheng who returned to his hometown to Tongli, let the painter Yuan Long design, and later the original site was damaged, and later renovated, and opened as an attraction.
The garden is not big, but it is beautiful, there are not many people, the experience is very good, it is the shooting place of Mr. Zhang Guorong's film "Fengyue", it is worth coming in and punching in, there is a group photo of the crew and Mr. Zhang's signature, the experience is full.
The national key cultural relics protection unit, a model of small Jiangnan gardens, consists of courtyard garden houses, using low-key east and west to the layout, is the only garden in Suzhou gardens that are not in the urban area, and you can take the subway to Tongli and transfer to the ancient town.
The best time to enter the park is personally thought to be night tour 5.30 admission, you can experience the two different beauty of the park during the day and night, there are special programs for the Dragon Boat Festival, the overall is very good, the garden is really beautiful
