We caught the fast train to Suzhou and after negotiating the touts at the gate picked a sweet looking man who was supported by an English speaking woman in a 'pink' booth. We paid to see gardens 5 gardens and hopped on a bus ready to explore the delights of the garden city as it said in the guide books as our Chinese friends in Melbourne had told us. Wow we were disappointed shops shops shops
We did not ...
If you decide to go to Suzhou for a visit make sure you stop by the Master of the Nets garden. It is the smallest garden in Suzhou, but is most well known because of its beauty. It was built in the 12th century, then abandoned until it was restored in the 18th century. This garden is one of the most beautiful gardens in all of Suzhou. You can walk through the old house and admire the beautiful architecture and magnificent woodwork. Take a few moments to sit and just enjoy the beautiful garden with its strange and wonderful trees and plants. This can be a very relaxing place to escape to after all the hussle and bussle of the city.
