The Classical Gardens of Suzhou, which are also called Suzhou Gardens, are a group of beautiful gardens in the city of Suzhou in Jiangsu Province. The first classical garden was created during the Spring and Autumn Period in the 6th century B.C. More gardens were built in the following centuries and most of them were personal gardens of scholars (学者) and officials (官员) of that time. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the construction (建设) of the gardens came to its best time because of the prosperity of Suzhou in that period. It’s said that there were over 200 gardens all over the city and Suzhou was famous as the “Paradise on Earth” and the “City of Gardens”.
Nowadays, 88 of the 108 well-protected gardens are open to the public as tourist attractions. Among them, some famous gardens are considered as examples of Suzhou Gardens, such as Humble Administrator’s Garden, Lingering Garden, Master-of-Nets Garden and so on.
Suzhou Gardens in many ways explain the ideas behind classical Chinese garden design. Their owners were not just interested in growing plants and flowers. They used history, philosophy (哲学), art and architecture (建筑学) in their designs. Each element (要素) of a classical Chinese garden — each hill, pond, plant and rock — is filled with meaning. Although every element was carefully designed, the end purpose was always to have a garden which looked like it was created by nature, without the help of human hands.
Suzhou Gardens represent the development and maturity (成熟) of Chinese garden design of more than two thousand years. They are national 5A tourist attractions in China and some groups of them have been added to UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List (世界文化遗产名录).
