Gridmaster's Garden

The territory of the garden covers 5,400 square meters and consists of two parts: in the east there is a house, and in the west there is a garden. Half the garden is hidden by a wall, and the gate is richly decorated with ornaments - this is a traditional symbol of the high social status of the owner of the estate and his position in society.

The appearance of this beautiful and amazing place emphasizes the unique skill of Chinese designers who are able to combine nature, architecture and art, creating real masterpieces. The construction of the Garden of the Master of Networks began about 800 years ago, and gradually its appearance changed. But despite this, the "spirit" and character of the garden, like its name, remained unchanged.

In the direction from south to north, four buildings are located here: a grand hall, a porteuse hall, a grand hall, a two-storey tower separated by gardens. They are made in a single style, and the interior decoration amazes with its wealth. From each room there is access to the garden - this is a characteristic feature of almost all the private gardens of Suzhou, for which the city is so famous. In the period when the city reached its peak, 280 gardens appeared here, 69 of which have survived to this day in excellent condition.

The garden looks very restrained from the street and does not stand out from the rest of the buildings. But inside hides the amazing beauty of nature and the true harmony of taste.
