Lingering Garden, Classical Chinese garden in Suzhou, China.
The Lingering Garden spreads across 20,000 square meters, divided into four sections with distinct features including halls, courtyards, rockeries, and a bonsai collection.
Built in 1593 during the Ming Dynasty by scholar Xu Zhenqing, the garden underwent several modifications through different owners until reaching its current form.
The garden exemplifies traditional Chinese landscaping principles through carefully arranged structures, water elements, and plant compositions that create miniature natural landscapes.
Visitors can reach the garden by taking Line 2 of Suzhou Metro to Shilu Station, followed by a 600-meter walk west along Liuyuan Road.
The central section contains trees planted centuries ago, surrounding a green mountain formation and clear water features that form the heart of the garden.
