The Lingering Garden - A Classical Garden of Suzhou in April

Описание: Located outside the Changmen Gate, the Lingering Garden was built in the 21st year of Emperor Wanli’s reign of the Ming Dynasty. In 1961, together with the Humble Administrator’s Garden in Suzhou, the Summer Palace in Beijing and the Mountain Resort in Chengde, Hebei Province, the garden was selected to be one of the first batch of places enjoying the status of the key cultural and historical relic site under state-level protection. It has been known as one of the “Four Famous Classic Gardens”, and was included in UNESCO’s the World Cultural Heritage List in 1997. The year 2010 witnessed the garden added to the list of national 5A-level scenic areas.

Covering an area of over 0.02 square kilometers, the Lingering Garden can be divided into four sections, namely the central part with the east, west and north sections. The east part highlights magnificent halls, a delicate courtyard and an exquisite rockery. The central part boasts in a green mountain, clear water and luxuriant trees planted in ancient times. The north part centres on a bonsai garden. The west part features solitude and rustic delight. The garden layout is known for its arrangement of space, which is recognized as a classic example of the refined art of gardening in ancient China. The garden thus has been referred to as “the best garden in the Wu area”.
