Canglang Pavilion and Keyuan Garden

1️⃣ Canglang Pavilion was built in the Song Dynasty and is the oldest garden in Suzhou. Together with Lion Grove Garden, Humble Administrator's Garden, and Lingering Garden, it is one of the "Four Great Gardens of Suzhou." The Canglang Pavilion is the highest point in the garden, and you can climb up to enjoy the view. There are many windows in the garden, which are great for taking photos. The bamboo garden on the north side has a variety of bamboo species, and you can wander around and relax. 2️⃣ Keyuan Garden: I didn't plan to visit here at first, but since it is right across from Canglang Pavilion, I decided to go in. Although it is not very big, it is the only existing academy garden in Suzhou, and it is worth a visit. It reflects the importance and recognition of education in Suzhou. There is also a stone boat in the distance, which extends into a small pond and creates a beautiful scene. The temperature dropped suddenly, and it started to rain. I wanted to visit the Garden of the Master of the Nets, but I didn't have enough time and energy, so I gave up. I'll share it with you next time.
