Lion Forest was first built in the Yuan Dynasty, and now there is a loft specially displaying many pieces of Lingbi Stone of Taihu Lake and collecting large historical records and introducing the front and back of this garden. Walking into the second floor of the showroom, you can see the art illustrations of the lion forest built by the great monks of the Yuan Dynasty, as well as the portraits of Emperor Qianlong and his story about the origin of the title "Zhenyi Pavilion" of the lion forest, but the most introduced is the Bai family. The origin of Bai's Lion Forest and Suzhou Lion Forest since modern times was introduced by a whole exhibition. In 1917, Bai Runsheng, the king of pigments in Shanghai, bought the Lion Forest for a huge sum of 100,000 silver yuan. It is said that the gardens at that time had been abandoned for a long time and were in ruins. Only the real interesting Pavilion at the Qianlong Plaque was left. Since then, Bai Runsheng spent more money and time to renovate and expand the Lion Forest, including purchasing. The old name of Yuan Dynasty is still used in the building of East houses and high walls around them. It took nine years to renovate and make it the landscape we can see today. After his grandson took over the garden, he made a complete donation to the government after liberation. Therefore, in order to commemorate the famous industrialist such as his merits, there are still bronze busts of Berenson and some old photographs of him and Lion Forest in the exhibition room.

    Very beautiful, except for many people, there is nothing wrong with it! The windows of all kinds are really beautiful. I feel more beautiful than the hospital. I originally planned to change the itinerary without the Lion Forest. It was a surprise.

    The child likes the lion forest very much and is very happy to shuttle in the rockery. Probably an hour of play time is enough. Except for a little bit of people, everything else is pretty good. The off-season may be better. The scenery is good.

    One of the four major gardens in Suzhou, named after the rockery. I didn't feel anything special when I first entered, and I didn't appreciate its wonderfulness. I listened to the explanation of the tour guide before I understood the good intentions of the craftsmen and opened a happy trip. What really opened people's eyes was that they passed the treasure of their town garden and entered the back garden. This is simply a paradise for children. Hidden and hiding can play for a day. The rockery monster stone maze will get lost when it comes up and down to meet this road. Who can only meet in two directions recommended recommended recommended recommended recommended recommended

    It's a lovely place to visit. A classic Suzhou garden and the housing that are attached to it. Well described historical markers and delightful examples of bonzai trees everywhere. Gorgeous stained glass windows. The rock garden was exquisite. As always, visiting during a national holiday is not recommended as it's insanely crowded.

    Very satisfied, the explanation is professional and smooth, vivid and interesting. When I played in the Lion Forest before, although I also did my homework to understand the relevant knowledge points, there were still some details that I didn't find. After the explanation, I found a lot of interesting talking heads, which made the tour more rewarding. The commentator Rong Jun is very dedicated and actively cooperates with my time requirements. Thank you very much.

    Originally made an appointment for the Suzhou Museum, but it was closed late. Decisively went to the nearby Lion Garden, and the most famous in modern times belonged to the world famous architectural designer Bei Xuming. Missing the museum he designed to see their family gardens is not a time-space staggering. Many of the stone peaks in the garden are similar in shape to the lion, so they are named "Lion Forest". In addition to the stone peak, the building inside the lion forest is also a highlight. Yanyutang, Jianshanlou, Waterfall Pavilion, Wenmei Pavilion and other main buildings are scattered, and they echo each other with natural elements such as stone peaks, lakes, trails, etc., forming a beautiful picture. The Lion Forest has also undergone an important change in modern times. Mr. Pei Xuming, the world-renowned architect, introduced the western gardening technique and home to the garden, which gave the lion forest a new vitality and vitality. Mr. Pei Yuming's transformation of the Lion Forest not only retains the classical charm of the garden, but also integrates modern elements, making it a temple garden that integrates the principles of Zen and the garden. In the Lion Forest, you can also see the family of the shell family. This home was built by Mr. Bei Xuming's grandfather, Bei Runsheng, to commemorate the ancestors of the family and inherit the family culture. The existence of the family not only adds a sense of history and culture to the Lion Forest, but also reflects the importance and inheritance of the family culture of the Bai family.

    From the north, I have visited the Summer Palace. The lion forest is not big, but it is too good to visit. The exhibits are very careful, and the bonsai of Lamei is so beautiful. No wonder Emperor Qianlong has to come many times. Every place seems to feel the daily life of the owner. Unlike other exhibitions, put tables and stools to finish. It is worth checking in again.
