Garden of Cultivation(Yipu Garden)

A World Cultural Heritage site, this lesser-known Ming Dynasty garden covers about 5 mu (approximately 0.8 acres). It retains its original appearance from the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, featuring unique landscapes such as Suzhou's largest waterside wooden pavilion, Yanguang Pavilion, and the original Ming Dynasty Ruyu Pavilion. With fewer tourists, visitors can immerse themselves in the rustic simplicity and scholarly elegance of Jiangnan gardens.
