Beibanyuan

I enjoyed the afternoon tea set of Chinese tea and cake in the tea room in the Chinese garden "Kitahanen". We used a set for 2 people for 3 people. (At that time, I needed to add one cup.) The cake was placed on a Chinese stand and it was nice 💓 Chinese window frames also look good 😁 If the weather is good, the outside seats can be used. Northern half garden is a historic Chinese classical garden built in the middle of the Qing Dynasty. Although it is a small garden, elements of Chinese classical gardens such as Chinese architecture east houses and corridors are arranged around the pond, and you can enjoy four seasons of 々 plants such as wisteria flowers and osmanthus.

North Banyuan is also called Lu's Banyuan, a classical garden building built in the middle of the Qing Dynasty. It covers an area of 1130 square meters and is located at No. 60 Baita East Road. The park was built by Shen Shixu during the Qing Shunzhi period, Shen Shixuan, the word Han Bo, the Zhuzhai, the people of Wuxian County, Jiangsu Province, and the officers went to wash the horses for 12 years. During the Qingxianfeng period, the Daotai and Anhui people Lu Jiemei were expanded, named "Half Park", and because of the north of the Shi's Half Park in Cangmi Lane, commonly known as "North Half Park".

The whole half garden is small and exquisite, and the area is only 3 acres. The pool is in the middle, surrounded by boat hall, water raft, qu gallery, half pavilion, and the building is mostly characterized by "half". Half bridge, half pavilion, and half pavilion can be described as "true half garden".

Being able to find half a garden is purely a surprise when I stayed in Pingjiang Mansion last year. Later, I learned that this is a station known as the most "Suzhou taste". At the same time, it is also convenient to walk to Pingjiang Road, Guanqian Street, Suzhou Museum, and even Humble Administrator's Garden, Lion Gion, etc. Therefore, with the addition, Pingjiang Mansion is still worth it. Although it is part of the hotel, Banyuan is the only private garden in Suzhou that is free to open to the outside world. The most valuable thing is that unlike the tourists of several famous gardens such as weaving, there are very few people who know the half garden. It is said that even if it is old Gusu, it may not be heard. Therefore, there are few people here and there is a real atmosphere of private gardens. If you want to drink tea, you can sit under the osmanthus tree like an umbrella and leisurely experience the mood of the scholar's doctor; if you don't want to consume, no one is haunted and rushed, it is a small and exquisite place to experience the beauty of southern Chinese gardens quite comfortably. It needs to be emphasized that there are no tickets for half the park. Early September this year, that is, last week, I just took my friend to go, it is a second visit to the garden.
