Don't visit the Humble Administrator's Garden without a plan!

The Humble Administrator's Garden is stunning all year round, with spring flowers, summer lotus, autumn maple leaves, and winter plum blossoms. After visiting last summer, I couldn't forget its beauty, so I returned this spring to enjoy the blooming flowers. Here's a travel guide for you to keep. ⏰ Opening hours: 7:30 AM - 5:00 PM 🎫 Ticket prices: Adult ticket 80 RMB, half-price for seniors/students. Night tour 'Humble Inquiry' adult ticket 198 RMB. ✅ Recommended route: - Entrance - East Garden: Lanxue Hall 👉 Furong Pavilion 👉 Tianquan Pavilion 👉 Shuxiang Hall - Central Garden: Wuzhu Residence 👉 Listening Rain Pavilion 👉 Jiashi Pavilion 👉 Linglong Hall 👉 Yuanxiang Hall 👉 Yiyu Pavilion 👉 Xiangzhou 👉 Xiaofei Pavilion - West Garden: Yiliang Pavilion 👉 Thirty-six Mandarin Duck Hall 👉 Fucui Pavilion 👉 Reflection Building - Central Garden: Jianshan Building 👉 Lotus Breeze Pavilion 👉 Snow Fragrance Pavilion 👉 Waiting Frost Pavilion Group 👉 Exit 📷 Photography spots: 1️⃣ Through the flower window in the corridor, capture the view of Beisi Tower (p2) 2️⃣ The glazed flower window at Thirty-six Mandarin Duck Hall, great for photographing camellias 3️⃣ Green Ripple Pavilion: perfect for portraits and scenery 4️⃣ Any corner window is great for photos. The trees in Suzhou gardens are so vibrant and healing! ❤️ Tips for visiting: 1️⃣ The garden is crowded now, so avoid holidays and visit early in the morning for a better experience. Otherwise, your photos will be full of people 😂 (Note: The reservation time slot doesn't strictly limit your entry time; you can enter before 4:30 PM on the day) 2️⃣ Maps are available at the visitor center on the right side of the entrance 🗺️ 3️⃣ Free guided tours are available at scheduled times, lasting only half an hour. You can also hire a guide for a fee. Suzhou gardens have intricate designs, and a quick tour might not do them justice 😂 4️⃣ Nearby attractions include Suzhou Museum, Suzhou Garden Museum, Lion Grove Garden, etc. Consider visiting them all in one day. ✅ Suggested itinerary: Suzhou Museum 👉 Prince Zhong's Mansion 👉 Humble Administrator's Garden 👉 Lion Grove Garden 👉 Lotus Garden 👉 Pingjiang Road 👉 Guanqian Street. 🍱 Food recommendations: ✅ A popular local restaurant - Qian Yuman. The restaurant is very popular, with excellent taste, good environment, and great service. Recommended dishes include Squirrel Fish, Grandma's Pig Trotters, Stone Pot Tofu, Bamboo Net Duck, and Peach Blossom Wine. Go early to avoid queues. Check reviews for timing tips. The restaurant serves local Su cuisine and has many surprises. There are branches on Guanqian Street/Shantang Street 😊 #Suzhou #SuzhouGardens #SuzhouPhotography
