Where is the best place to travel in October?

The Lion Grove Garden, Emperor Qianlong's favorite: Known as the "Kingdom of Rockeries" ||| The Lion Grove Garden is located at No. 23, Yuanlin Road, Gusu District, Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province. It is one of the four famous gardens in Suzhou and a representative of the Yuan Dynasty garden. It covers an area of 1.1 hectares and an open area of 0.88 hectares. In 1342, the Lion Grove Garden was built by the disciples of the Zen Master Tianru. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, after the Zen Master Tianru died, the disciples scattered and the temple garden gradually became desolate. It was later bought by Huang Xingzu, the prefect of Hengzhou, the father of Huang Xizhi, and named "She Garden". In 1771, Huang Xizhi won the first place in the imperial examination, and he renovated the mansion and the courtyard, and named it "Wusong Garden". In 1917, Bei Runsheng, a giant pigment merchant in Shanghai, bought the Lion Grove Garden from Li Zhongyu, the Minister of Civil Affairs, and spent nearly seven years renovating it. After Bei Runsheng died of illness in 1945, the Lion Grove Garden was managed by his grandson Bei Huanzhang. In 1953, Bei Huanzhang and his relatives donated the Lion Grove Garden to China. The Lion Grove Garden is famous for its rockeries. There are many rockeries in the garden, each with different shapes, and it is known as the "Kingdom of Rockeries". There are nine routes and 21 entrances in the rockery group. Walking through it is like walking into a huge maze. It is interesting to walk in the maze and enjoy the scenery. Although the Lion Grove Garden is not large, it has pavilions, towers, pavilions, halls, verandas, and corridors. All the architectural forms of classical gardens are here, and the details are full, which is worth savoring slowly. 📍Suzhou Lion Grove Garden Tickets: Adult ticket 40💰, discount ticket 20💰 Address: No. 23, Yuanlin Road, Gusu District, Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province 🕐Opening hours Peak season: 7:30-17:30 (March 1st to October 31st) Off-season: 7:30-17:00 (November 1st to February 29th) ⚠️National statutory holidays, half an hour delay in closing.
