Panmen Gate, Suzhou

4.3

#7 of 32 in Historic Sites in Suzhou

Part of the 6th-century BCE city wall that once surrounded Suzhou, Panmen Gate now stands as the only well-preserved water-and-land city gate in the world. It leads to a place soaked in history with ancient landmarks, including a pagoda and bridge. Inside the gate tower itself, history beckons among the ancient weapons on display on the first floor, while an extensive view of the whole city awaits you at the top. Once you pass through the gate, absorb the beauty of the carefully designed scenic area as you cross the small bridges over streams full of koi, admire the elegant pavilions, or take a boat tour.

入り口には団体バスがたくさん止まっていて、どうなることかと思いましたが、敷地が広く、人の多さは気になりませんでした。庭園は新しいものだそうですが、広々していて気持ちがいいです。盤門は堂々としていて、見ごたえがあります。中の茶室で写真を撮るには順番待ちができていたので、希望の方は時間に余裕を持った方がいいと思います。 more »

But I thought that happens to a lot of tour buses had stopped at the entrance to the premises were extensively and did not care how many people. Gardens new stuff seems to have been, it feels good. Pan gate, and are spectacular. I think we were ready to take a photo in a tea room in the waiting list, so if you would like with spare time.
