    "Humble Administrator's Garden is one of the four major gardens in Suzhou. The whole garden is divided into three parts: East, Middle and West. A large number of flowers are planted in the garden, pavilions are built near the water, and there are rockery scattered, giving people a small bridge and flowing water. It is best to go early, there are fewer people to take pictures, otherwise there are many tourists and there are people everywhere. The whole park is not very big, and it is enough to visit for an hour or two. It is a two hundred meters walk from the Humble Administrator's Garden to the Pingjiang Road block, so these two attractions can be visited together."

Although the Lion Grove Garden is small, the artificial mountains in the park are very well-known. The strange rocks resemble dancing lions. The connection between the artificial mountains is not dissimilar to a maze. You can play hide-and-seek in the stone maze or count the number of observable stone lions.
