A Chinese Classical Garden

The Humble Administrator’s Garden, built during the 16th century, is a really pretty park, and is the largest of all the famous “gardens” in Suzhou.  The four main elements of a classical garden are: rocks, water, architecture, and plants. The Chinese have a saying about “classical” gardens: one step, one scene.  The garden is so well planned and laid out that every time you take a step, the scene changes. We spent three or four hours walking and climbing everywhere and snapping hundreds of pictures.  Even on that foggy, drizzly day, it was absolutely beautiful.
