Lion Forest Garden

Suzhou Top 5 in Can't Miss Attractions

When you come to Suzhou, you must visit the garden. There are more than a dozen gardens in Suzhou, and the most famous one is the Humble Administrator's Garden, and it is also the most visited. There is also a small garden in the Humble Administrator's Garden, which is also very popular with tourists, called Lion Forest. The history of the lion forest is much longer than that of the Humble Administrator's Garden. The Lion Forest was built in the Yuan Dynasty to the second year (1342), 150 years earlier than the Humble Administrator's Garden, and the Lion Forest was originally a temple. 1341, Gao Yantian came to Suzhou to teach the scriptures, and was embraced by his disciples. In the Jubilee Year (the last emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, Shun Emperor to Zhengzheng two years), a disciple of Tianru Zen Master was built to build a temple for his teacher. His first name was "Lion Lin Temple". The area of the lion forest is small, only 1.1 hectares, which is more than ten acres. During the Qing dynasty, the Emperor Qianlong visited the Lion Forest six times, and gave the Mirrors of the Mirrors, the Temple of Painting and the existing "True Fun". Lion forest is also very similar to the architectural master Pei Ming. In 1917, Shanghai pigment giant Beirun (Bei Yuming's uncle) bought the Lion Forest, spent huge sums of money to renovate, and added some new attractions. With the present look. This garden is famous for its rockery. The rockery can be said to be the crown of Suzhou garden. There are 9 lines and 21 holes in the rockery. It is also very interesting for tourists to get lost here.

Lion Forest, it gives me a different feeling from other Jiangnan gardens. Other gardens have a grand atmosphere, some jasper is quiet, they are dignified or gentle, and Lion Lin has a unique taste for it. among them. Qianlong used to read the book: "True fun" is enough to prove the true interest of Lion Lin. In the classical garden, the rockery is indispensable, and in the lion forest, the rockery is a landscape, and it is also a large labyrinth. It enters along the entrance of the labyrinth. It is sometimes dark and bright when it is dark, sometimes narrow and sometimes bright, sometimes in one The layer, suddenly turned to the second floor, and each time out of the maze is a new world. Tourists are lost in this way, and slowly feel the surprise of the ancient real fun for us today. Lion Lin tickets 40 yuan, half price for students, the stone maze between the pavilions and pavilions in the park is really interesting and worth a visit.

Lion Lin is much smaller than the Humble Administrator's Garden on the map, but the playability is very high, which gives me a big surprise. The Lion Forest is dominated by rockeries. It is said that many lions are hidden in these rockery mountains, so it is called the Lion Forest. Qianlong likes the Lion Forest very much, but it has not been transferred for a long time in the Rockery. The story of the six-year-old childrens version of the Journey to the Silk Cave is here. After coming here, everyone is turning around in the rockery, and the rockery itself is very similar, so the Lion Forest is more like the Humble Administrators Garden. I am pleasantly surprised. A rockery near the entrance may not be a hundred square meters, but the inside is very deep, so don't think about it if you go in. When I took this photo, I took a rockery from a road. I wanted to find a place to shoot her from the front. So I entered the rockery exploration mode and walked along the stairs and found it was taken to another hole, a rockery. In fact, it is 3D, there are roads below and above, but this road must lead to different places, and later found that lost in the rockery! The rockery at the entrance has been turned for a long time, and most of the physical strength has been consumed. Later, we dare not easily enter any rockery that looks small, because it has a hundred ways to make you Not coming out! In addition to rockery, the lotus pond in the Lion Forest is also beautiful and can be taken from all angles. The gardens in Suzhou stop visitors at 4 o'clock and close at 5 o'clock, so after 4 o'clock, the tourists are getting less and less, and we can finally take some big scenes.

Lion Forest is one of the four famous gardens in Suzhou. It has a history of more than 650 years. It was originally built by the Zen Master of the Yuan Dynasty. Ni Yunlin, a famous painter at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, once wrote "Lion Lin Tu". Qing Emperor Kangxi and Qianlong had been fortunate for several times, and they were copied in Yuanmingyuan and Summer Resort. Lion forest has both the classical garden pavilion and the attic victory. It is also known as the large lake stone rockery group. It is known as the magical mountain kingdom, and it is like a lost circle. The whole park is compact in structure, and the promenade runs through the surrounding area. It is centered on the central pool. It is built in the mountains, moved to plant trees, and has a pavilion. It is rich in the concept of squatting in the mountains and forests. The rockery accounts for about two-fifths of the yard, the rockery is twenty-one holes, and the nine roads seem to be very complicated, but in the end it is necessary to return to the main road. In the religious sense, it is the ninety-nine. There are four routes, sometimes piercing the hole, sometimes crossing the bridge, the mountain road is full of mistakes, and entangled with each other, often making it difficult for people who are visiting for the first time to discern the path, and it is extremely tortuous. The most fun thing is to hide and seek in the rockery group. If you dont know what you are, its easy to get out.
