Step into Houleyuan Garden, a hidden gem among Suzhou's classical gardens where serenity reigns! Marvel at the exquisite rockeries and ponds framed by century-old trees, each turn revealing postcard-perfect Jiangnan landscapes. What makes it special? Unlike crowded tourist spots, you'll have the Ming Dynasty scholars' retreat almost to yourself. Don't miss sipping Biluochun tea by the water—this is slow living, Suzhou-style.
