Description
Under the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), the city of Suzhou was the site of more than 270 sumptuous gardens. By the 20th century, however, most were in ruins. Today, of the dozen or so that remain intact, the Garden of Harmony is one of the most popular. Situated in the city center, it was revamped during the 19th century to incorporate features from other gardens. In the southern section of Suzhou stands the Garden of the Master of the Nets. This delightful spot features a handsome array of plants as well as several buildings. Another Suzhou landmark is one of China's oldest gardens -- the Garden of the Pavilion of Azure Waves. It once surrounded a general's villa during the 10th century. A low retaining wall and a double arcade connecting the inner and outer sections distinguish it from other gardens in the city.
