Huqiu Parc with Yunyan Pagoda
by Museeuw
While my wife was looking for a wedding dress, I went to visit this parc with the temple and pagoda by myself. I just wandered around a bit, and I totally didn't know anything about the history of the place, but it was quite relaxing. Apparently the pagoda is also called China's leaning tower of Pisa, although it's much older than the Italian tower.
North Temple Pagoda
by cheezecake_deli
Originally part of a temple complex, the North Temple Pagoda (Beisi Ta) dates from the 3rd century, though most of the current structure dates from the Song dynasty. At 76 metres high, it offers panoramic views of Suzhou and dominates the skyline in the north of the old town. It is famously utilised in the "borrowed" view of the nearby Humble Administrator's Garden. Open daily from 0800 to 1600.
Suzhou - Capital of Chinese Gardens
by socrates_07
Finally I made it, a trip to Suzhou. I have been in Shanghai already but the last time was in February. (from there it takes less than two hours by train) I think, most of the tourists go to Suzhou because of its gardens. And for sure, September is a better season then February.
