Suzhou 4

The Humble Administrator's Garden: another technique in Chinese Style Garden - borrow the scenerary - the temple tower looked like a part of the garden but actually out of it.

This building included all six elements of Chinese garden: Ting (pavilion), Tai (terraces), Lou (towers), Ge (open halls), Xuan (veranda with windows) and Xie (Pavilion on the water).

The terrace is just like Suzhou's house style, white wall and black tile.
Lingering Garden: the most famous rockery - the cloud-capped peak.

The osmanthus fragrans pavilion - in the spring, all the flowers are down from the roof.
