Lion Forest Garden Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Lion Forest Garden, Humble Administrator's Garden, Lingering Garden, and Canglang Pavilion are collectively known as the “Four Famous Suzhou Gardens”. The Lion Forest was built in the Yuan Dynasty and was originally a back garden of Zen temples. It was later purchased as a private residence. This garden was treasured by Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, who always stayed here during his visits to Southern China. Although the Lion Grove Garden is small, the artificial mountains in the park are very well-known. The strange rocks resemble dancing lions. The connection between the artificial mountains is not dissimilar to a maze. You can play hide-and-seek in the stone maze or count the number of observable stone lions.

Suzhou Gardens, this is how you should capture its essence! Traditional Chinese cheongsam, a dream back to the Republic of China era🎢【Suzhou Gardens Day Portrait Guide】 【Cheongsam Portrait Shooting Guide】 🗓Itinerary: Choosing the location Cheongsam is suitable for shooting in the Republic of China style streets or Ming and Qing Dynasty style grey tile white wall garden buildings. So this time we chose Suzhou Gardens for shooting. Suzhou Gardens are famous for their unique classical architecture and exquisite garden landscapes. However, there are many tourists, so you can choose relatively less popular gardens. Suitable gardens: Liu Garden, Canglang Pavilion and Ke Garden are just across the street, Yipu, etc. When choosing a shooting location, you can decide according to the style and scene you want. For example, Humble Administrator's Garden is famous for its exquisite architecture and waterscape, suitable for shooting elegant portraits; while Lion Grove has a unique rock landscape, suitable for shooting portraits with a certain wildness. 🕙Shooting time: One hour before the opening and closing of the garden, avoid the crowd, you can enjoy a truly quiet garden. 📝Tips: Make full use of the light in the garden, find the time near sunset. Create rich shadows and light and dark effects. For example, when shooting portraits, you can choose where the sunlight shines through the leaves, using the tree shadows to add a sense of layering to the picture. 🧳Composition techniques Use garden elements: Suzhou Gardens are famous for their unique architecture and garden elements, these elements can serve as the background or props for portrait shooting. For example, when shooting portraits, you can choose to shoot in the garden's corridors, pavilions or stone bridges, using these buildings as the background for the portraits, enhancing the artistic sense of the picture. Capture the moment: There are often some unique moments in Suzhou Gardens, such as ripples on the water, petals falling, etc. Pay attention to composition and posture: When shooting portraits, the choice of composition and posture is very important. You can try different angles and shooting methods to create unique picture effects. At the same time, pay attention to the model's posture and expression, let them relax naturally, showing their best state. The most important thing is to make good use of the various shapes of door frames and stone windows in the garden: The background of Suzhou Gardens is often exquisite architecture and landscapes, which can echo with the portraits. When shooting portraits, you can use the garden background, interact with the model, and create interesting picture effects. For example, when shooting portraits, you can let the model and the flowers and plants in the garden complement each other, adding a sense of liveliness to the picture.leona_ortiz_navigator9

Exploring the famous Lion Forest Garden 🦁The Lion Forest Garden in Suzhou is a mesmerizing destination that transports visitors back in time. I took a day trip from Shanghai to Suzhou and it took me just 30 minutes to get there. While strolling the city, I visited the famous Lion Forest Garden and I was enchanted by the intricate architecture and tranquil atmosphere of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. The garden's name is derived from the rock formations that resemble lions, adding a touch of whimsy to the experience. Exploring the meandering pathways, ornate pavilions, and delicate bridges, I felt immersed in the rich history and culture of ancient China. Lion Forest Garden a must-visit for anyone seeking a glimpse into the country's imperial past. #localescapesivonne8a9318

Get lost in this Suzhou garden!Lion Forest Garden is one of Suzhou's most famous landmarks. I'm on a mission to explore all of Suzhou's gardens so was excited to cross this one off the list. Lion Forest Garden is quite a large garden, and it may not be the most picturesque Garden in Suzhou, but it is certainly the most fun. The main part of the garden is a huge stone maze with different paths intersecting eachother, it really is incredible. You can easily spend an hour getting lost among all the rock formations, a great place for a huge game of hide and seek! #suzhou #awesomepic #tripblazersrobynwhaley16

The Lion Forest Garden in SuzhouMy family and I visited the Lion Forest Garden over the spring festival, and it was very busy, as one would expect over the holidays. However, it was very difficult navigating through the caves with children and a stroller, as the caves are quite narrow and the stairs are very steep. It's best to take a baby carry bag but even so, one has to be extremely careful when going up and down the narrow and steep stairs. The lion forest garden is absolutely beautiful with so much history and great architecture. The entrance fee to the park is 30 yuan per person. Keep in mind #suzhou #lionforestgardenMurray Family12

I thought the Humble Administrator's Garden was the pinnacle until I encounteredThe gardens of Jiangnan, including the Lion Grove Garden, are also exquisitely beautiful. Every door, window, wall tile, table, chair, and plant in the garden has its own beauty, and the Taihu rocks are stacked layer upon layer, with strange shapes and full of charm. The lake water reflects the blue sky and white clouds, the lotus leaves seem to grow in the sky, and the fish appear to swim in the heavens. I love to watch the slowly shifting light and shadows in the garden and the gently trembling bamboo forest; time seems to slow down at this moment. 'Garden days are spent in delight,' once you have seen the gardens of Jiangnan, it's easy to become fascinated, addicted.SAVANNA MARTIN

The Lion Grove Garden in Suzhou | Suddenly suspecting it descends from the heavens, it seems not of this worldThe Lion Grove Garden was established during the Yuan dynasty, and after several ups and downs, the temple, garden, and residence were separated and then merged again. The traditional gardening techniques are integrated with Buddhist thoughts, and the Bei family of modern times introduced Western gardening techniques and family shrines into the garden, making it a temple garden that combines the philosophy of Zen Buddhism with the joy of gardening. It is a representative of Chinese classical private garden architecture. Here, you can find the cultural landscape of Suzhou's classical gardens with pavilions, terraces, towers, chambers, halls, verandas, and galleries. It possesses the largest surviving ancient rockery group in China, earning the reputation of a 'rockery kingdom'. The rockeries in the Lion Grove Garden are among the most tortuous and complex examples in Chinese classical gardens and are the only survivors of large-scale rockeries in Chinese gardens. The rockery group features undulating peaks, winding caves, 21 cave entrances, and 9 routes like a labyrinth, surrounded by pools of water, creating a visually stunning scene of mountains and waters. Emperor Qianlong of the Qing dynasty would always visit the Lion Grove Garden when he traveled to the south of the Yangtze River. He deeply loved the natural charm of the Lion Grove Garden. It is said that he once got lost in the rockeries of the garden and spent several hours finding his way out. Upon exiting, he immediately wrote down the three characters for 'truly interesting', which is what we now see at the 'True Interest Pavilion'. He also replicated the Lion Grove Garden in the Old Summer Palace in Beijing and the Chengde Mountain Resort, which shows that the Lion Grove Garden was truly beloved by Emperor Qianlong. 📍 Address: No. 23 Garden Road, Gusu District, Suzhou City, Lion Grove Garden 🎫 Ticket: Off-season 30 yuan, peak season 40 yuan.

The Lion Grove Garden in SuzhouThe Lion Grove Garden is a classical garden in Suzhou, Jiangsu, China, located at No. 23 Yuanlin Road in the northeastern corner of the Suzhou city area, covering an area of 11,120 square meters. The Lion Grove Garden is one of the four famous gardens in Suzhou and represents the Dai garden style. It is also the only remaining example of China's early grotto-style rockery groups and is known as the "Kingdom of Rockeries". The Lion Grove Garden not only has the cultural landscape of pavilions, terraces, towers, attics, halls, and galleries that are typical of Suzhou classical gardens but is also world-famous for its lake and mountain rocks and deep and secluded grottoes, earning the reputation of the "Kingdom of Rockeries". The rockeries of the Lion Grove Garden are both numerous and exquisite, with the lake rocks being delicate, the grottoes winding, and the paths twisting and turning as if entering a maze, known as the "Eighteen Scenes of the Peach Blossom Land". The tops of the grottoes are lined with strange peaks and rocks, all resembling dancing lions, with famous peaks such as Huanhui, Tuyue, Xuan Yu, and Ang Xia. "The best place in the city is the Lion Grove, where one seeks the light rain and gentle breeze." Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty visited Jiangnan six times and held the Lion Grove Garden in high esteem, inscribing poems to praise its beauty and twice bestowing the words "True Interest", reflecting his unique fondness for the Lion Grove Garden. Although the Lion Grove Garden is small, only 16 acres, roughly one-fifth the size of the Humble Administrator's Garden, it is world-famous for its lake rockeries. The rockeries in the garden are majestic, with ingenious designs and cleverly winding grottoes. In the rockery forest, one can clearly see the pavilion ahead, but after turning around, it seems impossible to find the way out, as if entering a labyrinth, which is really interesting! The garden, which is over 600 years old, has been visited by so many people that the rocks have been polished smooth and shiny, and the stone steps are slippery. Elderly people and children must be careful when visiting on rainy days.CATHERINE MANN

The garden is not very big, about an hour can be visited, the rockery is spectacular, and you can see it everywhere, the rockery is like a maze, very interesting, worth a visit
The child likes the lion forest very much and is very happy to shuttle in the rockery. Probably an hour of play time is enough. Except for a little bit of people, everything else is pretty good. The off-season may be better. The scenery is good.
It's a lovely place to visit. A classic Suzhou garden and the housing that are attached to it. Well described historical markers and delightful examples of bonzai trees everywhere. Gorgeous stained glass windows. The rock garden was exquisite. As always, visiting during a national holiday is not recommended as it's insanely crowded.
One of the four major gardens in Suzhou, named after the rockery. I didn't feel anything special when I first entered, and I didn't appreciate its wonderfulness. I listened to the explanation of the tour guide before I understood the good intentions of the craftsmen and opened a happy trip. What really opened people's eyes was that they passed the treasure of their town garden and entered the back garden. This is simply a paradise for children. Hidden and hiding can play for a day. The rockery monster stone maze will get lost when it comes up and down to meet this road. Who can only meet in two directions recommended recommended recommended recommended recommended recommended
Very satisfied, the explanation is professional and smooth, vivid and interesting. When I played in the Lion Forest before, although I also did my homework to understand the relevant knowledge points, there were still some details that I didn't find. After the explanation, I found a lot of interesting talking heads, which made the tour more rewarding. The commentator Rong Jun is very dedicated and actively cooperates with my time requirements. Thank you very much.
Originally made an appointment for the Suzhou Museum, but it was closed late. Decisively went to the nearby Lion Garden, and the most famous in modern times belonged to the world famous architectural designer Bei Xuming. Missing the museum he designed to see their family gardens is not a time-space staggering. Many of the stone peaks in the garden are similar in shape to the lion, so they are named "Lion Forest". In addition to the stone peak, the building inside the lion forest is also a highlight. Yanyutang, Jianshanlou, Waterfall Pavilion, Wenmei Pavilion and other main buildings are scattered, and they echo each other with natural elements such as stone peaks, lakes, trails, etc., forming a beautiful picture. The Lion Forest has also undergone an important change in modern times. Mr. Pei Xuming, the world-renowned architect, introduced the western gardening technique and home to the garden, which gave the lion forest a new vitality and vitality. Mr. Pei Yuming's transformation of the Lion Forest not only retains the classical charm of the garden, but also integrates modern elements, making it a temple garden that integrates the principles of Zen and the garden. In the Lion Forest, you can also see the family of the shell family. This home was built by Mr. Bei Xuming's grandfather, Bei Runsheng, to commemorate the ancestors of the family and inherit the family culture. The existence of the family not only adds a sense of history and culture to the Lion Forest, but also reflects the importance and inheritance of the family culture of the Bai family.
From the north, I have visited the Summer Palace. The lion forest is not big, but it is too good to visit. The exhibits are very careful, and the bonsai of Lamei is so beautiful. No wonder Emperor Qianlong has to come many times. Every place seems to feel the daily life of the owner. Unlike other exhibitions, put tables and stools to finish. It is worth checking in again.
