拙政园
Humble Administrator's Garden
The Humble Administrator's Garden was built in the Ming Dynasty. It is one of the four famous gardens in China and a representative work of Jiangnan classical gardens. With water as the center, the mountains and rivers are lingering, dense and dense, and the atmosphere of the literati is very strong. In early summer, the lotus leaves are just unfolding, and it is full of green. The wonderful thing is "changing the scene with each step". Standing at one place is a painting, and taking two steps is another world.
