Humble Administrator's Garden, Suzhou

I really love this place. So beautiful and peaceful. Love it so much! But be careful with crowd. I came to this place with some mass tourist, and it's so terrible. 😑 But this place so huge, just make sure to move more quickly and you can pass them 😂

Beautiful and peaceful. You have a lot of scenery to take amazing pictures with small streams, bridges and pagodas. Highly recommend if you happen to be in the area. Its only about half an hour bullet train ride from Shanghai...

One of Suzhou's most famous traditional Chinese garden and a popular tourist spot among local and regional visitors. The entire garden is vast, impressive along with well maintained landscape and architecture to match. Highly recommended if you enjoy spending a couple of hours relaxing and a long strol in the park. One more thing, upon arrival before the main gate, especially for out of town or foreign visitors, one will be pestered with tour guide services from local trade which can be annoying; but then again, it is not necessarily bad if you came with a big group, needed guidance and Mandarin is not your native language.

The Humble Administrator Garden is one of the most iconic tourist attractions in the area and I hate to say it but we were a but let down by this one. In between the heavy crowd loads, which drove difficulty exploring the Garden without continuously being bumped into or obstructed views from tour groups. We also went during fall, which we thought would be pretty but it seems like a lot of the garden was not in good condition. The temples were beautiful and the overall ambiance was calming and serene. But overall I would not personally recommend the Humble Administrator Gardens and just enjoy the beautiful city instead

Absolutely beautiful gardens! One of the best in China! You have to get the guide to take you around for the full experience, you have to hear all of the stories about why the buildings are in a certain area or why the bridge is not straight across the water etc. Some very interesting stories about the old days. Definitely worth a visit. Also the food in SuZhou is fantastic! I would certainly recommend these gardens and I would go again, also very cheap to get in.
