Lion Forest is a special garden in the Suzhou Classical Garden of World Cultural Heritage. The original owner of this garden is not a long-haired literati, but a sorghum named Tianru Zen Master. In the middle of the 14th century, the disciple of Tianru Zen Master purchased a garden-style temple to facilitate his lectures. This temple is the predecessor of the Lion Forest. After the death of the Zen Master, the garden was abandoned until the Ming Dynasty was rebuilt by the Ming Dynasty and the Shang Dynasty. In the Qing Dynasty, the temples and gardens of the Lion Forest were opened. Later, the Lion Grove went through the Huang Xingzu and Beirunsheng generations of garden owners. This classical garden also showed new charm under their management and renovation.
It is said that both Kangxi and Qianlong have visited Lion Grove. Among them, Qianlong is the most infatuated and has visited the whole time six times.
The rockery is the biggest feature of the Lion Forest. The garden can see the rockery in almost every corner. The scenic spot even opens up the tour route to the mountain. You can climb to the mountain or the mountain trail along the mountain trail. Looking at the landscape, the nine-curve and eighteen bends sometimes make people get lost.
Compared to the rockery landscape, the lake view, pavilion and bridge view of the Lion Forest are more poetic. In the spring, the willows on the shore will be Yiyi; in the summer, the lotus flowers will be beautiful. Standing on the arch bridge to see the scenery, I have become the scenery of others.

Very beautiful and exquisite private garden, bridge flowing water, strange stone bench, set the representative of Suzhou garden, no wonder the emperor Qianlong also admired, the garden has various forms of lions, the world architecture is not the master Bei Ming ancestral home.
After you go in, you will start drilling in the rockery! After turning around, you will understand why Qianlong will mention these three words. It's quite interesting. Friends with children remember to see it. The rockery is very slippery and pay attention to safety.
I thought a lot to find out what Lion Forest makes me feel to write a review about. I can only say it's uniqe and beautiful. When you walk inside the rock formations you feel like you are lost. Highly recommended.
It’s a beautiful garden with interesting rock formations, however I wouldn’t recommend going on the weekend. It’s overly crowded. You can walk the whole thing in about an hour. make sure you bring your passport for the tickets.
generally Suzhou is a nice place (environment, calm, nice food ) and like lion garden as well
