Lion
Grove (Shizilin Garden)
Lion
Grove (Shizilin) is arguably Suzhou's best
example of using a garden to evoke images
in the mind. Taihu lake rock arrangements
display leonine forms throughout the garden.
Lion Grove pleases the mind with discoveries
around every corner as you use your imagination
to appreciate the forms around you.
This garden is not very large
and gets crowded relatively quickly. Going
early to beat the crowds could help. A visit
here can be followed by a visit to the larger
Humble Administrator's Garden not far to
the north on Dongbeijie.
