In Suzhou’s Lingering Garden (Liuyuan), travelers can explore a classic Chinese garden divided into four distinct zones: the central area features a serene pond surrounded by pavilions, while the eastern part showcases rare stones like the Exquisite Jade Rock. The western zone is lined with maple trees that turn vibrant red in autumn, and the northern area offers bamboo and pine groves with a pastoral feel. The elegant architecture, such as the intricately carved Five Peaks Hall and the 700+ meters of winding corridors with intricate windows, is truly attractive. Entry is easy if you book the tickets in advance. Only show QR code at the entrance. Opening Hours: Mar 01- Oct 31: 07:30 - 17:30; Last Entry: 17:00 Nov 01 - Feb 28/29: 07:30 - 16:30; Last Entry: 16:00 During the periods of Qingming Festival, May Day, Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays, the park's closing time will be postponed by half an hour and it will close at 18:00.

The Lingering garden, along with the Humble Administrator garden are the 2 Unesco World Heritage sites in Suzhou. They are quite different in term of garden design from each other. The Lingering garden is smaller, less crowded but still quite crowded in the afternoo, especially if you walk the main path. There are fewer open spaces, more rock gardens. Entrance is not as strict as with the Humble Administrator garden in term of time slot. I bought tickets through Viator but you should shop around for much better deals. You can still buy tickets on site. Entrance is via QR code and although you had to submit passport information, the agents did not check them. With the Humble Administrator garden, your sdvanced reservation ticket is your passport whic the agents will scan. We spent 2.5 hours at the Lingering garden, at our own pace, not with a tour. After visiting this garden, you can visit the nearby Shantang street which is ~1km away. To get there, get a Didi to drive you there from your hotel. It is very cheap. Suzhou metro is cheaper, but the line interchanges can be far (lots of walking) and for a couple you save $1-2 vs Didi.
