俗话说:“上有天堂,下有苏杭。”而苏州能与杭州共同享有如此盛誉,大半要归功于它的园林。苏州的园林艺术闻名天下,历史悠久。苏州全城有一百多处园林,现存园林远则可以上溯千年,近则四五百年,可以说是集历代江南园林艺术之大成。其中沧浪亭、狮子林、拙政园、留园分别代表了宋、元、明、清四代园林 As the saying goes: “There is heaven, under the Suzhou and Hangzhou. ” And Suzhou can enjoy such a reputation together with Hangzhou, mostly due to its gardens. Suzhou’s garden art is famous all over the world and has a long history. There are over 100 gardens in the whole city of Suzhou. The existing gardens can be traced back to the past thousands of years, or nearly four or five hundred years ago, which can be said to be the culmination of the garden art in the south of the Yangtze River. Among them, Canglang Pavilion, Lion Grove, Humble Administrator’s Garden and Lingering Garden represent the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties gardens
