A UNESCO World Heritage Masterpiece

#chinatravel Tuisi Garden is a stunning example of late Qing Dynasty garden design and has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Its unique layout, which runs on an east-west axis instead of the traditional north-south, is a testament to the innovative spirit of its designer. The garden's name, "Retreat and Reflection," comes from a saying that encourages officials to reflect on their past actions after retiring. This philosophy is embedded in the garden's tranquil and contemplative atmosphere. The design is compact yet feels vast, with every turn revealing a new, carefully framed view.#suzhou #thingstodo #myitinerary #travel
