The ultimate guide to Humble Administrator's Garden | Become an ancient lady in the center of Jiangnan Gardens for a day

✨【Basic information】 📍Address: No. 178, Northeast Street, Gusu District, Suzhou 🚇Transportation: Take bus No. 1/No. 2/202/313 to Humble Administrator's Garden Station and walk for 5 minutes to arrive ⏰Opening hours: March-November 7:30-17:30 December-February 7:30-17:00 🎫Tickets: 1 day in advance👟Cheng/Suzhou Gardens official WeChat reservation (80 in peak season, 70 in off-season) 🌸【Must-see C-position route】 ▶️East Garden: Lanxue Hall → Furong Pavilion → Tianquan Pavilion ▫️Lan Xue Tang's white wall and bamboo shadows are huge, take a cool and cool photo first ▫️The bamboo forest and spring water in Tianquan Pavilion come with their own BGM. Wearing Hanfu and holding an oil-paper umbrella, you can instantly become Lin Daiyu​ ▶️Zhongyuan: Yuanxiangtang→Xiaofeihong→Xiangzhou ▫️The lotus pond in Yuanxiang Hall is only available from June to August! Wearing a horse-faced skirt and standing by the pool, direct ancient style photo ▫️A must-visit at the Xiaofeihong Vermilion Covered Bridge! It is recommended to shoot the reflection from above, the water surface will replicate a double rainbow🌈​ ▶️West Garden: 36 Yuanyang Pavilion → Reflection Building ▫️The blue glass windows of Yuanyang Pavilion are the dopamine aesthetics of the Guangxu period! In the afternoon, when the light and shadow penetrate, it comes with a Morandi filter​ ▫️The camera position on the second floor of the Reflection Building is amazing! The entire garden can be framed into the carved window as a picture frame 📸【Guide to critical hits】 1️⃣Choose light-colored Hanfu! Green bamboo and white wall background suitable for Song Dynasty/Ming Dynasty 2️⃣ Bring your own fan/oil-paper umbrella props to take close-up photos away from the crowd 3️⃣Golden time: before 9 am/after 4 pm, the light and shadow are so gentle that it makes you cry 4️⃣Hidden camera positions: Moon Gate of Wuzhu Youju, Stone steps along the water of Hefeng Simian Pavilion ⚠️【Blood and Tears Experience】 ▫️The mosquito repellent spray is welded on my body! Garden mosquitoes are hungry wolves ▫️Don’t rent an audio guide! The tour groups with headsets are more attractive (the guides are all storytellers)​ ▫️Bring bottled water! There are often long queues at the vending machines in the park 💡【Summary of 30,000 steps of running】 Be sure to wear soft-soled shoes! Bluestone pavement is beautiful but useless It is recommended to combine with Pingjiang Road/Suzhou Expo Day Tour (10 minutes walk) There is no restaurant in the park. You can have a bowl of three-prawn noodles at Wu Ji Xiaoyuanlou at the entrance.
