Wangshiyuan (chinese: ºô®v¶é)
by sunnywong
Wangshiyuan (Master-of-Nets Garden), an old site for Wanjuantang (Ten-thousand-book Hall). It belonged to Shi Zhengzhi, an assistant minister of Northern Song Dynasty and was once named by him as "Fishing in Seclusion". During the reign of Qianlong in Qing Dynasty, an observer named Song Zongyuan rebuilt it by digging ponds and constructing rockery and building houses. In reference to the original name "Fishing in Seclusion", the new garden was named "Fisherman's Villa", hence the name "Fisherman's Garden". The garden is on the list of Cultural Relics under State Protection and also listed as the World Natural Heritage.
Peaceful Han Shan Si

This photo was taken at the entrance of Han Shan Si.
It is winter and the leaves are falling off from the trees.
They look so pretty with the peach sky in the background.
I love the color of the photo looks so artistic.
Suzhou Museum
by Willettsworld
Founded in 1960, Suzhou Museum has been a highly-regarded regional museum with a number of significant Chinese cultural relics. This new museum was completed in October 2006 and covers roughly 3,600 square meters including a garden. It houses 1,160 exhibits dating from the prehistoric era to the Qing dynasty. The main exhibition area contains four permanent exhibits: Lost Treasures from the Kingdom of Wu, National Treasures discovered from Ruiguang Pagoda, the Legacies from the Region of Middle Wu, and Paintings and Calligraphy from the Wu school. It's a very good museum and well worth a visit, especially when the weather isn't great.
