The most beautiful parks and gardens Suzhou 苏州

This garden, the most famous of the top Yangtze region, was developed in 1506. At that time, Wang Xianchen, a state official accused of corruption, decided to withdraw from public affairs by returning to Suzhou, his hometown. He then decided to build Zhuozheng Yuan, a 5 ha set. The term "petty administrator" or "the politics of the modest" is drawn from the classic Jin poem. He mentioned that the "garden is the work of a modest man". The garden is divided into three parts: to the east, the main building, Orchid and Snow (Lan Xue Tang), contains a lacquered wood screen on which the garden plan is engraved. By accessing the central part, the Northern Temple pagoda appears. The central part is the most harmonious and the best preserved of the three: the Distant Perfume Room (Yuanxiang Tang), with the largely pierced walls of bays offers an overview. The western part of the garden, separated from the whole under the Qing, became the property of a wealthy trader. He rajouta a large number of buildings. The Mandarins Hall was the central building. The owner amused his guests by inviting Suzhou opera troops.

The garden is a UNESCO World Heritage SITE.
