The elegant cat of Yi Garden and the fragrant lilacs

The lilacs are not common in Suzhou, but there is an ancient purple lilac in the courtyard of the Plum Blossom Hall in Yi Garden, which is currently in bloom with an overwhelming fragrance, even attracting mosquitoes to dance chaotically. The purple lilac can be used for medicinal purposes, has a particularly short blooming period, and its intoxicating fragrance is quite unique. The cats in Yi Garden especially like to climb trees, and it would be even better to capture a photo of a cat with the lilacs in the same frame. Opening hours: 07.30–17.00 Ticket price: 15 yuan. (Close to Leqiao subway station exit number 8)
