Spring in the Couple's Retreat Garden

The Couple's Retreat Garden is located in the heart of the Pingjiang Road historical conservation area. The unique urban appearance, rhythm, and culture that Suzhou people have created over 2,500 years, in turn, care for the Suzhou people born and raised here at all times and places. A common saying goes, Suzhou has a flavor, its people have a flavor, and the Couple's Retreat Garden has a flavor. It does not pursue the peculiarities of form, but rather focuses more on the comfort of the soul. In this sense, the Couple's Retreat Garden is a marvel! The garden faces south with its back to the north and is surrounded by water on three sides. To the south, it extends along Xiaoxinqiao Alley, with its main gate facing the water and a river dock embankment, from which a small path stretches straight out, connecting to the residences to the west; to the north, it borders Xiaoliuzhi Alley, with a private dock at the rear gate, and to the east, it joins the inner moat, where the sound of oars can still be heard. Further east are the remnants of the city wall, with wild trees blocking the view of the barges outside and the noise of the marketplace. Amidst these unremarkable marketplaces and simple residential buildings, the Couple's Retreat Garden immerses itself in its own simple and elegant fragrance like an orchid, indulging in self-admiration like its owner, and finding self-satisfaction in the sweetness and comfort of personal life.
