Suzhou gardens are all about balance and harmony, and blending nature into daily life. Imagine walking among lush flowers and trees, hearing the rain on lotus leaves, and catching subtle floral scents in the air. It's a sensory escape that calms the soul. Rocks form the garden's structure, while flowing water brings movement and life. These uniquely shaped stones spark the imagination, while the streams and ponds bring everything together in perfect harmony. For the poets and scholars who lived here, the gardens were more than something to admire; they were a place to reflect, recharge and reconnect with nature.
