Strolling through Suzhou Gardens: an aesthetic feast spanning a thousand years Stepping into the Suzhou gardens is like opening a dusty ancient book, each page of which is filled with the depth and romance of oriental aesthetics. Every brick, every blade of grass, and every tree here speaks of the gentleness and elegance of the Jiangnan region, making people intoxicated and unwilling to wake up. The Guanyun Peak of the Liuyuan Garden stands in the courtyard like an elegant scholar who is isolated from the world. This Taihu stone has been carved over the years, and its characteristics of "wrinkles, holes, thinness and transparency" are fully revealed. The pores between the stones seem to hide traces of clouds and mist, casting fine light and shadows under the sun. Strolling around Guanyun Peak, you will see the Flower Street under your feet paved with broken stones in patterns of lotus and butterflies, with flowers blooming at every step. The Wufeng Xianguan nearby is simple and elegant, with mahogany tables and chairs exuding a warm luster, and the calligraphy and paintings on the wall exuding the fragrance of ink, fully displaying the elegance of literati. The Humble Administrator's Garden is centered on water, outlining the lively beauty of the Jiangnan water town. Yuanxiang Hall is ventilated on all sides. In midsummer, the lotus fragrance drifts in, making people feel relaxed and happy. A small flying rainbow stretched across the water, and the vermilion railings were reflected in the blue waves, like a gorgeous rainbow. Walking along the winding corridor, the lattice windows are arranged like lines of poetry, framing the scene of swaying bamboo shadows and banana trees listening to the rain. Every step you take is like a beautiful ink painting. The rockery complex in Lion Grove is a wonderful adventure. Taihu stones are stacked into mazes of various shapes, with winding stone steps and hidden cave entrances. Wandering through it, sometimes the view suddenly becomes clear, sometimes everything becomes brighter, as if you have entered a fantasy world. Climb to the top of the rockery and overlook the whole garden. Pavilions, towers, green trees and flowers are in full view, and the breeze blowing on your face will make you forget the hustle and bustle of the world. The double corridor of Canglang Pavilion is a unique feature of the garden. Surrounded by clear water, with winding corridors on it, carved beams and painted buildings on the inside and facing the Feng Creek on the outside, it cleverly integrates the scenery inside and outside the garden. The lattice windows on the corridor have various shapes, including diamond-shaped, fan-shaped, plum blossom-shaped... Through the lattice windows, the green bamboo in the garden and the water and mountains outside the garden complement each other, and the virtual and the real complement each other, like a dynamic landscape painting. Suzhou gardens are a cultural treasure left to the world by the ancients and a vivid interpretation of oriental aesthetics. Here, time seems to slow down, allowing people to calm down and savor the ingenuity and poetry behind every scene. Whether it is admiring the scenery, taking photos, or feeling the influence of history and culture, Suzhou gardens can bring a unique experience, allowing people to find a spiritual pure land in the misty rain of Jiangnan.
