Suzhou gardens

I guess I should be a bit less lazy than usual and point out that in Pinyin (the official representation of Chinese using the Roman alphabet) ´zh´ is pronounced like a ´j´, ´ou´ sounds like the vowel when Homer says d´oh! Think of a girl called Sue and a boy called Joe. Sue Joe.

So, Suzhou is famous for it´s gardens. As a city, it´s not that exciting, although it has a few canals spread around the place which can be pretty. Now, these gardens are not about hedges, lawns and flowers. Here its about rocks and ponds. Doesn´t sound exciting? Well, they´re not meant to be exciting, there´re meant to be calm and relaxing. Walking through them I did find them relaxing. I wouldn´t mind living in this kind of place.

I only went to a couple of actual gardens and my camera battery died so I don´t have that many pictures unfortunately. Here are some of them.

There is also a story about finding that bridge...
