Lingering Garden
The Lingering Garden, one of the four most famous gardens in China, occupies an area of 23,310 square meters. It has changed hands several times, first built in 1593 during the Ming Dynasty by a retired official named Xu Tai. Like other famous gardens, the Lingering Garden seeks to create stunning natural landscapes within limited space. According to the style of the buildings, the garden can generally be divided into four parts: the central, eastern, western and northern parts. Of the four parts, the central part is the essence of the whole complex. This part was the original Lingering Garden while the other three were added during the Qing Dynasty.

Surging Waves Pavilion
The Surging Waves Pavilion, covering an area of 10,656 square meters, is the oldest of the Suzhou gardens that can be traced back to the Northern Song Dynasty. Unlike other gardens, Surging Waves Pavilion emphasizes the harmony between man made buildings and the natural environment. Walking along the corridors that follows a path alongside the unique stone formations and strategically planted ancient trees, it seems walking in a primitive forest. The architectures that have been built in the garden are simply and classically designed which present a Qing 2015/10/25 11 Dynasty style.
