Years have passed since our last meeting, and the Jing Si Garden has become even more desolate

If one were to comment on the oldest gardens in Suzhou, there might be many choices on the list. However, if we talk about the newest garden in Suzhou, there is only one answer, and that is Jing Si Garden, not far from the ancient town of Tongli. This garden was established in 1993, covering an area of over 100 acres, slightly larger than the Humble Administrator's Garden, making it the largest garden in Suzhou. The garden's architecture is exquisite, featuring the Crane Pavilion Bridge, the Small Rainbow Bridge, the Jingyuan Hall, the Tianxiang Book House, the Pangshan Thatched Cottage, the Bonsai Garden, and many rockeries and Taihu stones scattered throughout. In short, you will find many familiar sights in the garden. There is no need to elaborate on the history of this garden, as it can easily be found online. The ticket is not cheap, costing 70 yuan each, almost as much as the Humble Administrator's Garden, which is why there are few visitors. If it weren't included in the citizen's leisure card, probably very few people would be willing to pay to enter. But the clever scenic area did not just sit back; they started doing wedding photo shoots, charging 600 yuan per session, with tickets paid separately. And you know what? The business is actually quite good, because the place is empty.
