Magnolias in Beiban Garden, a 300-Year-Old Private Garden in Suzhou

Beiban Garden is a small and exquisite garden that embraces the beauty of "half." All the buildings in the garden are half pavilions, half corridors, half bridges, half boats, and half attics, which is unique to Suzhou gardens. There are two century-old white magnolias in the garden, with flowers as white as jade and exuding a faint fragrance. Next to the Beiban Garden teahouse, a white magnolia complements the classical architecture, making it perfect for taking pictures. Go up the stairs from the teahouse and you can also overlook the beautiful scenery of magnolia blossoms. 🌟Best time to view: Early March 📸Tips for taking pictures: Light: Use the soft light in the morning or evening to capture the delicate texture of the magnolias. Composition: Try to incorporate elements such as ancient buildings and latticed windows into the composition to add layers and storytelling to the picture. Shooting angle: Try different angles such as looking up or looking down to show the three-dimensionality and sense of space of the magnolias. ❤Nearby attractions: Suzhou Museum: A great place to learn about the history and culture of Suzhou.
