Suzhou is famous for its traditional gardens. We have been to two of them so far, the Humble Administrator's Garden and the Master of the Nets Garden. The philosophy of gardens is that they are to have four elements: plants, water, stone, and buildings. They really are beautiful. First are some pictures of the Humble Administrator's Garden.
Once upon a time, Suzhou is said to have had hundreds of gardens like this. About a dozen major ones remain. This second set of photos is from the Master of the Nets Garden

Awesome!!!! That's funny because I've always wanted to be the Master of Nets if I played basketball.
