Classical Gardens of Suzhou, How Ancient Chinese Harmonized Conceptions of Aestheticism | 4K HDR
The Classical Gardens of Suzhou are a group of gardens in Suzhou region, Jiangsu province, China, which have been added to the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Suzhou is a city of gardens.
The first garden can be traced back to the 6th century BC.
The private gardens reached their zenith in the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) dynasties, with about 200 gardens being scattered around the city.
Today, there are 69 preserved gardens in Suzhou, nine of which have been designated as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
------------------
Classical Chinese garden design, which seeks to recreate natural landscapes in miniature, is nowhere better illustrated than in the nine gardens in the historic city of Suzhou. They are generally acknowledged to be masterpieces of the genre. Dating from the 11th-19th century, the gardens reflect the profound metaphysical importance of natural beauty in Chinese culture in their meticulous design.
------------------
1. Humble Administrator's Garden - Suzhou's Largest Garden
Covering an area of 5.6 hectares (13.8 acres), the Humble Administrator's Garden (拙政园) is the largest garden in Suzhou and recognized as one of the four most famous gardens in China.
This garden was constructed in 1509 during the Ming Dynasty. It is a masterpiece of the Ming Dynasty's garden landscaping.
The garden is divided into three major parts: the eastern part, central part, and western part. The Central Section is the main and elite part of the garden.
It is outstanding for its smart use of ponds, interconnected via narrow streams that flow underneath charming bridges. Numerous pavilions, corridors, rockeries, and ancient trees are dotted across the garden, creating a relaxing, harmonious atmosphere.
Location: 178 Northeast Street, Suzhou City
Area: 5.6 hectares (13.8 acres)
Time needed: 2-3 hours
Ticket: 70 yuan (Apr 16-Oct 30); 50 yuan (Oct 31-Apr 15)
Features: a maze of connected pools, numerous pavilions and bridges
------------------
2. Lingering Garden - Famous for Its Striking Architecture
Lingering Garden is one of the best preserved gardens in Suzhou, and praised as one of China's four famous gardens, along with the Humble Administrator's Garden, the Summer Palace in Beijing, and Chengde Summer Palace.
Originally built in the Ming Dynasty and improved to its present layout in the Qing Dynasty, Lingering Garden is a classic example of the Qing Dynasty's garden landscaping.
This garden is famous for its striking architecture. It has the most buildings among Suzhou's gardens, perfectly combined corridors, artificial hills, rocks, and water features.
The garden is divided into four distinctly themed areas: artificial hills in the west, pastoral scenery in the north, halls and pavilion structures in the east, and hills and water features at the center.
Location: 338 Liu Yuan Road, Jin Chang District
Area: 2.3 hectares (5.6 acres)
Time needed: 1½-2 hours
Ticket: 55 yuan (Jan, Feb, Mar, Jun, Nov, and Dec); 45 yuan (Apr, May, Jul, Aug, Sep, and Oct)
Features: striking architecture, remarkable rock structures
------------------
3. Canglang Pavilion - the Oldest Garden in Suzhou
Canglang Pavilion or Surging Waves Pavilion (沧浪亭) is a classical garden built in 1044 during the Song Dynasty. It is the oldest among the existing classical gardens in Suzhou, keeping its original Song Dynasty layout.
Different from Suzhou’s other gardens, which are usually surrounded by a high wall, Canglang Pavilion is situated by the side of a lake to its north and faces a miniature mountain to its south.
The garden itself is small and peaceful with fewer tourists compared with other more famous gardens in the city.
Location: 3 Canglangting Street, Suzhou City
Area: 1.1 hectares (2.7 acres)
Time needed: 1-1½ hours
Ticket: 20 yuan (Apr 16-Oct 30); 15 yuan (Oct 31-Apr 15)
Features: a perfect combination of architecture and nature

Chinese classical gardens were not public areas but rather private homes. That is why they feel so intimate and detailed. The use of space is so complete that even small gardens look alot bigger and offer many different views and elements. They also look fantastic all year round and have an air of sophistication. Max, your video captures all that. You are a national treasure for China tourism.
