Suzhou

The Grid Master's Garden

China, Sudzhou, southeastern part of the city, Jiangsu, NO.11 Koujiatou Lane

Description:

In 1140, a retired official decided to set up a garden - and since he called himself a fisherman, the garden received the appropriate name: the Garden of the Master of the Network. Later, in the 18th century, another retired official chose the neglected park and decided to restore it to enjoy a holiday in nature.

Small by Chinese standards, the park (a little more than 5 thousand square meters) is distinguished by its special elegance. The park harmoniously combines art, nature and architecture. It consists of 3 parts: the eastern (residential) part, the lake, the "garden in the garden" in the western part. In the residential area, the most interesting building is a bamboo hut, which is decorated with incredibly beautiful lanterns. Most of the park is occupied by a garden with a wonderful pond.
