Chapter 6: A sunday at Suzhou!

Hi Guys! Pardon the long period between each posts. Just that the past week zoom by with all the activities and work. So I decide to make a short post before I sleep.

Today 40+ of us went 苏州. We visited 2 of the famous 园林 which are gardens of the rich during Ming and Qing dynasty. They are 狮子林 and 留园. We also visited the well preserved gates of old Suzhou city during the Reign of 吴国 in the warring states era. Last but not least, we visited 寒山寺 the renouned temple for its appearance particularly in poems of China. So without further ado, let the pictures speak for themselves. (Do remember each of them is word a thousand words. Haha)

留园

寒山寺

盘门三景
Pardon my expression.. there are just too many people at 狮子林

The trademark stone of 狮子林. Looks like 3 prominent tigers. Some finds 9 tiger in total.
The beauty of 狮子林 combined with message from Spring. I feel poetic all of a sudden!
Alright, good night!
