The ancient charm of Suzhou
Looking back at the Jinxiu Garden is unforgettable, and smiling at the memory of Misty Rain Alley. Suzhou, this ancient city that is comparable to paradise, has accumulated a strong ancient charm in the long history, but it is also leisurely and gentle, full of a strong Jiangnan flavor. "Little bridges and flowing water, people" are so fascinating. In the scene, he showed a calm attitude.
Walking into the old town of Suzhou, walking along the white walls and black tiles, stepping on the mottled bluestones, thinking about the ups and downs of history, without any purpose, just strolling quietly, feeling the uniqueness of Suzhou Elegant, savor the strong scholarly fragrance of Suzhou City and appreciate the antique fragrance.
Walking across the stone bridge and standing by the Suzhou River, the river flows quietly, singing its soft and graceful poetry for thousands of years. The summer wind seems to have infected the ancient city. Gentle and gentle, the smokey willows on both sides of the bank quietly accompany the flowing water. Are they blown by the wind and give rise to that unique style?
Walking through the alleys and walking around the streets in the center of Suzhou, compared to the old city, the city center has a bit more modern atmosphere. There are high-rise buildings in the city center, and the streets are full of various Shops, teahouses... But despite this, there is no trace of the hustle and bustle of the city. Everything is so calm and elegant. Passing by the teahouse, I was attracted by the Jiangnan tunes floating inside, and walked into this antique teahouse. Sitting on the rattan tables and chairs, sipping a pot of tea and listening to a Jiangnan tune, my heart calmed down. Following the tune, I seemed to feel the profound heritage of Suzhou City, its timeless and implicit beauty.
After leaving the teahouse, I strolled on the streets of Suzhou, watching the people coming and going, and felt comfortable in my heart.
“The gardens in Jiangnan are the best in the world, and the gardens in Suzhou are the best in Jiangnan.” I was so immersed in W Nong’s soft words in Suzhou City that I almost forgot the main purpose of this trip. No visit to Suzhou is complete without visiting the gardens. When talking about gardens, we have to mention the Humble Administrator’s Garden, known as the “Mother of Chinese Gardens”.
The Humble Administrator's Garden was built in the Ming Dynasty. Wang Xianchen was the first owner of the garden. In his later years, his official career was not satisfactory. "The meaning of the sentence is named "Humble Administrator's Garden".
Walking into the Humble Administrator’s Garden, you can’t help but be attracted by its ingenious design, which divides the limited space and fully uses the art of borrowing and contrasting views. It is full of strong southern flavor. Compared with the northern architecture, Solemnity and elegance are combined with a sense of spontaneity and well-proportioned beauty. The pavilions, pavilions, and weeping willows all contain a kind of exquisite beauty. Looking at the surface alone, the Humble Administrator's Garden may seem too gorgeous and inappropriate for Suzhou, but the names of every scenic spot are full of strong Suzhou. For example, the main hall in the east, "Lan Xue Hall", is named after Li Bai's "Independent world, the breeze scatters orchid snow." However, the Humble Administrator's Garden still has a unique connotation of Suzhou, which occupies the hearts of the world. holds a unique position.
Going out of the garden, wandering around in Suzhou’s large and small shops, pieces of exquisite embroidery, and silk round fans full of poetic charm are really hard to put down. Buy some as a souvenir. Also keep the feelings of Suzhou in your heart.
At the beginning of the lanterns, I was rafting on an unknown small river. People on both sides of the bank had already lit up lanterns. The dim yellow lights were shining on the river with circles and ripples, which brought the end of this trip to Suzhou. , standing on the boat, I seemed to hear the bells of Hanshan Temple, and the dust of history made me fall into the ancient dream of Suzhou that I didn’t want to wake up for a long time...
