Lingering Garden
Su Zhou, Jiangsu
A dense, maze-like garden built around covered corridors and elaborate limestone rockeries, another of the nine UNESCO-listed sites.
Pourquoi visiter Lingering Garden ?
Its corridor system links dozens of individually framed views in sequence — walking it in order is closer to reading a scroll painting than touring a park.
Comment en profiter
Follow the corridor route in the direction posted at the entrance rather than cutting across; the sequence is designed to build toward specific viewpoints.
Astuce
Less central than the Humble Administrator's Garden, so it tends to be quieter even in peak season.
