How beautiful is the autumn scenery of the Humble Administrator's Garden?

In Suzhou, Jiangsu, the Humble Administrator's Garden is playing out a gentle prelude to early autumn. At this time, the autumn lotus in the garden is still intact, and the greenery is imbued with silence. When the wind passes, the trees quietly drop the first yellow leaf. The light and shadows of the sky and clouds linger, and the entire garden seems immersed in a shallow autumn dream. As a classic example of Jiangnan gardens, the Humble Administrator's Garden is listed among the "Four Great Gardens of China" alongside Beijing's Summer Palace and is also included in the World Cultural Heritage list. Its design is exquisite, with "a scene at every step," showcasing the charm of the Jiangnan water town everywhere. The garden paths are winding, with varied corridors, stone walls, pavilions, and windows, all paired with flowers and plants to create picturesque scenes, making it a paradise for photography enthusiasts. The garden is divided into three parts: east, central, and west. The central garden retains the simple and natural style of the Ming Dynasty and is the essence of the garden; the east garden is spacious, the west garden features exquisite architecture, and at the southern end is the Suzhou Garden Museum. The garden contains many scenic spots such as Lanxuetang and Hanqing Pavilion. The "Beisi Pagoda borrowed scenery" offers wonderful shots of the pagoda within the garden, and the "Corridor Bridge Little Flying Rainbow" features vermilion bridge railings reflected in the water like a flying rainbow. Come to the Humble Administrator's Garden and encounter this poetic and picturesque autumn scenery!
