A glimpse of classical gardens in Suzhou, E China's Jiangsu

獅子林景色（10月23日攝，無人機照片）。“江南園林甲天下，蘇州園林甲江南”。蘇州園林起始于春秋，發展于唐宋，興盛于明清。雖由人作，宛自天開，咫尺之內有乾坤，蘇州園林一直是詩意江南的代表。歷經千百年風雨洗禮，蘇州現有108座園林列入《蘇州園林名錄》，納入園林群體性保護管理，其中拙政園、留園、獅子林等9處被聯合國教科文組織評為世界文化遺產。秋日里，暖陽下，徜徉園林，別有一番韻味。[新華社記者 季春鵬 攝]

About a 20-minute ride by high-speed train from east China's Shanghai, Suzhou is one of the richest cities in China, with its more than 100 classical gardens considered some of the most beautiful in the country, and nine of them serving as UNESCO world heritage sites. Throughout history, the garden design has always been intertwined with Chinese literature and the art of landscape painting. (Xinhua/Ji Chunpeng)
