What are the seasonal views of Suzhou's Couple's Retreat Garden like?

📍Address: Suzhou Couple's Retreat Garden 🚗Transportation: Near Lindun Road Station on Metro Line 1. 😲About the Couple's Retreat Garden: The Chinese name of the Couple's Retreat Garden, "耦园" (Ouyuan), is a combination of the left half of the character for "耕" (gēng, meaning "to plow") and the right half of the character for "偶" (ǒu, meaning "pair"), which together mean "two people plowing together." This symbolizes a loving couple returning to the countryside to farm. The Couple's Retreat Garden is one of the few gardens in Suzhou with a symmetrical layout. The residential area in the middle is the central axis, with gardens on both sides. The garden's scenery is full of hints of love, such as the Pavilion of My Love, the Listening to the Qin Pavilion, the Double Reflection Building, the Double Corridor, the Pillow Wave Pavilion, and the contrasting views of the east and west gardens. These features vividly illustrate the meaning of "耦" (ǒu, meaning "pair") in the garden's name. It's like a love poem created by Shen Bingcheng and his wife over eight years. Therefore, the Couple's Retreat Garden is a must-visit for couples, and many young couples take wedding photos there. 🎟️Tickets: CNY 20 per person 💗Other tips: ✅The Couple's Retreat Garden is very close to Pingjiang Road, so you can visit both places together. Nearby Cang Street is also an area where old Suzhou residents gather, so you can take a stroll and experience the life of old Suzhou. ✅Many visitors got CNY 1 tickets to the garden today, so if you want to visit, remember to try and get one!
