Tuisi Garden

After dinner, we went to visit Tuisi Garden. Tuisi Garden is the most famous private garden in Tongli Ancient Town. It is the only world cultural heritage in Jiangnan Ancient Town. Ren Lansheng, who was impeached and dismissed from his post in Fengying Liusi Military Preparation Road, Anhui Province, and served as the Huaibei Yali Bureau and Fengyang Banknote Customs during the Guangxu Period of the Qing Dynasty, built a garden in the 11th to 13th year of Guangxu. The name of the garden is "Tuisi", which means "When advancing, think of loyalty, and when retreating, think of making up for mistakes" in Zuo Zhuan. The garden has all kinds of pavilions and towers, and the scale of the buildings is appropriate, which are both small and exquisite, and simple. The garden is centered on the pond, and all kinds of buildings are close to the water.

Tuisi Garden is located in Tongli Town, Wujiang District, Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province. Its architecture is unique and full of poetic and picturesque beauty. It has become a pearl in the cultural heritage of the Han nationality. Tuisi Garden was built from the 11th to the 13th year of Emperor Guangxu's reign in the Qing Dynasty (1885-1887 AD). The director of the garden, Lansheng, was named Wanxiang and was also known as Nanyun. In the 10th year of Emperor Guangxu's reign (1884 AD), Zhou Derun, a cabinet scholar, impeached Ren Lansheng for occupying Lijin and enriching himself for personal gain. Ren Lansheng was dismissed from his post and returned to his hometown. He spent 100,000 taels of silver to build a house and garden, named Tuisi. Yuan Long, the designer of Tuisi Garden, cleverly used an area of ​​less than ten acres to design buildings such as Zuochun Wangyue Book House, Qinfang, Tuisi Thatched Cottage, Naohong Yige, and Mianyun Pavilion. It embodies the diligence and wisdom of Han intellectuals and skilled craftsmen, and contains Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism and other philosophical and religious thoughts, as well as traditional Han arts such as landscape poetry and painting. The scenery changes with every step, making people linger.

If you want to pick the most representative building complex in Tongli Ancient Town, it must be Tuisi Garden. Putting aside the many national honors of Tongli Ancient Town, Tuisi Garden also has its own halo. It is the only world cultural heritage in Tongli Ancient Town and it is a national key cultural relic protection unit. Therefore, among the must-see attractions in Tongli, Tuisi Garden must be ranked first.

As one of the nine Suzhou classical gardens listed in the World Cultural Heritage, Tuisi Garden is naturally the jewel in the crown of Chinese gardens. It was built between the 11th and 13th years of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty, and has a history of more than 130 years. It follows the characteristics of Suzhou gardens, such as stacking stones and arranging water, having a well-planned layout, and pursuing poetic and picturesque beauty. With the pool as the center, the garden is built on the water, forming a garden landscape effect floating on the water, which is unique.

Tuisi Garden, commonly known as Ren Family Garden, was first built in the 11th year of Emperor Guangxu's reign (1885) and completed in the 13th year of Emperor Guangxu's reign (1887). The director of the garden, Lansheng, was named Wanxiang and alias Nanyun. In the 10th year of Emperor Guangxu's reign (1884), Zhou Derun, a cabinet scholar, and Ren Lansheng occupied Lijin and enriched themselves for private gain (Ren Lansheng was the military governor of Fengying Liusi, Anhui at the time). In the first month of the 11th year of Emperor Guangxu's reign (1885), Ren Lansheng was dismissed from his post, but his merits were not true, so the Ministry of Personnel discussed the removal of his position. Ren Lansheng was dismissed and returned to his hometown, where he spent 100,000 taels of silver to build a house and garden, named "Tuisi". His brother Ren Aisheng wrote a poem in mourning for his brother, which reads "The title is taken from Tuisi to make up for the mistakes, and Pingquan grass and trees are seen together", which shows that the name of the garden was taken from Zuo Zhuan: "Lin's father served the king, and when he advanced, he thought of being loyal, and when he retreated, he thought of making up for the mistakes, and he was also the guardian of the country." The original meaning of "Tuisi Buguo" is to remedy the mistakes of the king. Ren Lansheng named this garden with the intention of keeping a low profile and reflecting on one's own mistakes. Yuan Long, the designer of Tuisi Garden, was known as Dongli and was proficient in poetry, calligraphy and painting. He designed the garden in accordance with the characteristics of the Jiangnan water town and took local conditions into consideration. It took him two years to build the garden.

Due to the limited terrain and the owner's unwillingness to show off his wealth, the architectural pattern of Tuisi Garden broke the convention and changed from vertical to horizontal. From west to east, the west is the residence, the middle is the courtyard, and the east is the garden. The residence is divided into two parts: the outer house and the inner house. The outer house has three halls - the sedan hall, the flower hall, and the main hall. The sedan hall and the flower hall are used for general reception and parking of sedans. When there are weddings, ancestor worship ceremonies or when VIPs come, the main hall is opened to show solemnity. There are two "Wanxiang Towers" with five floors and five bases in the north and south of the inner house on the east side. The buildings are connected by double corridors from east to west, commonly known as "Zou Ma Towers", which are the best in Jiangnan. The central courtyard is the transition area between the residence and the garden, and also has the function of welcoming guests. There is a dry boat building at its entrance. The east is the essence of the whole garden. There is a lotus pond in the center of the garden. The buildings in the garden are all built close to the water. They are small in size and contrast with the rockery and water pond. Therefore, Tuisi Garden is also called "Water Garden". The main building in the garden, "Tuisi Thatched Cottage", is built on a platform close to the water. Standing on the platform, you can look around the scenery of the whole garden. Surrounding the pool, there are "Shuixiang Pavilion", stone archway ("Naohong Yige"), Xintai, "Guyu Shengliang" Pavilion, sky bridge and other buildings, which are staggered in height and density.

Wanxiang (Xiang) Building is located on the east side of the hall. It is the main building of the inner house. It is named after the garden owner Lansheng, and is where the garden owner and his family live. The building faces north and south, each with five floors and five bases, arranged symmetrically horizontally, with long floor-to-ceiling windows, hanging railings, and eaves connected to each other, which is elegant and bright. The buildings are connected by east-west corridors (also known as double corridors). There are stairs under the corridors for going up and down, commonly known as the ten-floor ten-base walking building. In this way, there is no need to walk on the water on rainy days, and it can be shaded on sunny days, and the master and servants can avoid each other when going up and down.

The Lansheng Pavilion, Guyushengliang Pavilion and the sky bridge in the back garden are known as the "three wonders" of the architecture of Tuisi Garden. The rubbing of the "Returning to the Countryside" in the Tuisi Thatched Cottage, the large seal script "The breeze and the bright moon do not need a penny to buy" on the wall of the corridor, and the Lingbi stone on the top of the Lao Ren Peak are three rare treasures, known as the "three treasures" of Tuisi Garden. Tuisi Garden combines the strengths of Qing Dynasty gardens. It is small and exquisite, light and elegant, with pavilions and terraces, and is full of fun. It can be called a classic of Jiangnan classical gardens.

The layout of the hall in Tuisiyu Garden remains unchanged, and the cultural relics, calligraphy and paintings remain in their original appearance.

The vermilion paint in the young lady's room was left with uneven traces of light and dark under the sunlight. Going up to the second floor, you can admire the magnolia in the courtyard by leaning on the railing.

The fish pond and rockery in the backyard are so comfortable and cozy that even if the owner does not inscribe "Keep People" on the door, the guests will be intoxicated by the scenery and are reluctant to leave.

The maple leaves have turned red, and against this backdrop, the story behind the red maple leaves in the garden is as colorful as dye.

It's a small garden with a shop that specializes in renting ancient costumes and taking photos. It's quite interesting to watch the children in ancient costumes posing in front of the rockery and pond.

Tuisi Garden is the most famous private garden in Tongli Ancient Town and the only world cultural heritage in the Jiangnan Ancient Town. Tuisi Garden was built during the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty. It was built by the garden director Lansheng after he was impeached and dismissed from his post. The name of the garden "Tuisi" means "to make up for one's mistakes", which is taken from the name in Zuo Zhuan, showing the Qing Dynasty official's desire to retire.

A typical Suzhou garden that is small but complete, with pavilions, terraces, bridges and flowing water. I went there on non-public holidays, so there were still a lot of people. I guess the photos I took on holidays were group photos of people from all over the country.

Tuisi Garden is located in Tongli and was built in the late Qing Dynasty. Although this garden is outside the city, it also has pavilions, terraces, pools and terraces. The whole courtyard is small and exquisite, simple and elegant. The appearance is not very conspicuous, but the interior is worth seeing.

The center of the garden is the Tuisi Thatched Cottage, which is simple yet solemn. At the same time, the sight line in the thatched cottage is very good, and you can have a panoramic view of the scenery in the garden! The layout of Tuisi Garden is centered on the pond, and the buildings are surrounded by it, standing close to the water surface. The reflections of various plants dance, and the fish in the pond make it look lively, quiet and clear.

Tuisi Garden is not that famous. After watching other places, you won't feel anything when watching this one.

The most famous private courtyard in Tongli Ancient Town.

The most impressive part is the Lansheng Pavilion. Standing in the Lansheng Pavilion, you can have a panoramic view of the entire garden. It is said that it was inconvenient for young ladies in ancient times to go out, so they could enjoy the scenery from inside the house.

I think it's just average, a typical Suzhou-style garden. If you don't buy the Tongli ticket and want to buy the 40-yuan night view ticket for the Tuisi Garden alone, I suggest you forget it.

Very good! There are so many gardens in Suzhou! Tuisi Garden is a unique and representative garden!

How can one describe the greenness of the place? Being in it makes you dream of a tropical forest. People can breathe freely and daydream in the shelter of nature.

Although I went to Tongli in 2012, Tongli's Tuisi Garden left a deep impression on me. It is a classic of Suzhou gardens. I just like Suzhou. This is a photo I took many years ago! I didn't play with China-TravelNote at that time, so I can only comment now. Tongli's Tuisi Garden is really worth a visit. You need to slowly appreciate the beauty of Suzhou gardens.

The most famous private garden in the ancient town of Tongli. If you sit behind the rockery, at sunset, and set up a tea table on the stone table, wouldn't it be a relaxing experience?

Judging from the name of the garden, it is another man who failed in officialdom. The scenery inside is still good, but as ordinary people, we can't see anything deeper.

Tuisi Garden is a private garden built by Ren Lansheng, the military governor of Anhui Province, after he returned to his hometown during the reign of Emperor Guangxu of Qing Dynasty (1885). The garden was named after the idea of ​​"when advancing, think of being loyal; when retreating, think of making amends" in Zuo Zhuan. Tuisi Garden combines the best features of Qing Dynasty gardens. It is small and exquisite, light and elegant, with pavilions and terraces, and is full of fun. It can be called a classic of Jiangnan classical gardens.

Although the Tuisi Garden is not big, it is full of scenery. There are different artistic conceptions from every angle of the garden. I can't help but sigh at the high level of artistic aesthetics of the ancients. Even my colleague Jian, who studies architectural design, praised it highly. He also introduced to me the status of Tuisi Garden in the history of Chinese gardens, which is comparable to the famous Humble Administrator's Garden. I searched for the entry of Tuisi Garden on the Internet, and as my companion said, its artistic value is very remarkable.

A garden in Tongli Ancient Town. You can enter it by buying a 100-yuan ancient town ticket. The ticket includes 89 scenic spots. I think Tuisi Garden is better, and the others are not interesting. The ancestors of Tuisi Garden are the old Ren family.

There are scenes within scenes, gardens within gardens, twists and turns, small gates and large courtyards, endless fun

A model of gardening art in oriental civilization, a priceless art treasure of the Han nationality, and a world historical and cultural heritage. Tuisi Garden was built during the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty. It was built as a private garden by Ren Lansheng, the military governor of Anhui Province, after he returned to his hometown. He spent 100,000 taels of silver. It has a unique style and a horizontal structure. From west to east, it has pavilions, terraces, towers, pavilions, corridors, squares, bridges, terraces, halls, rooms, and pavilions. The ancient camphor trees are tall and strong, the vegetation is lush, and the lake rocks and rockery are in line with the scene.

Although it only covers an area of ​​9.8 acres, it is a collection of ancient architectural styles of Qing Dynasty gardens, such as pavilions, terraces, towers, pavilions, corridors, squares, bridges, terraces, halls, rooms, and pavilions. All buildings are built close to the water and are well-arranged, which is a culmination of Jiangnan garden art. The Retreat Garden is small and exquisite, light and elegant, with pavilions and terraces, and interesting. It can be called a classic of Jiangnan classical gardens. In 1986, New York City, USA, built a Jiangnan garden with an area of ​​3,850 square feet in the Staten Island Botanical Garden in the city based on the Retreat Garden, named "Retreat Garden". In November 2000, Retreat Garden was listed as a World Cultural Heritage.



My travel notes: http://www.mafengwo.cn/i/8593634.html

The official's house is very grand and has a beautiful view.

The name of the Tuisi Garden is derived from the Zuo Zhuan, which says "When advancing, one should be loyal; when retreating, one should make amends for one's mistakes". It was built between the 11th and 13th years of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty. It is listed as a World Cultural Heritage. The Tuisi Garden is actually very small, but very delicate. The back garden in particular has a beautiful view.

Located in Tongli Town, Wujiang District, Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province, Tuisi Garden has a unique architecture and is full of poetic and picturesque beauty, making it a pearl in China's cultural heritage. Tuisi Garden was first built between the 11th and 13th years of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty (1885-1887 AD).

The world heritage site Tuisi Garden is in Tongli. The ticket is 100 yuan, and tickets are required for each small attraction. Tongli is surrounded by water. The boat ride is 90 yuan for 20 minutes, limited to six people. The commercial atmosphere is a bit strong, and it is 18 kilometers away from Suzhou city.

The small garden in Tongli is small but complete, and you can slowly experience it. It is somewhat different from the temperament of the water town outside.

Garden model heritage pearl



Tuisi Garden, named after the Zuo Zhuan, means "to be loyal when advancing and to make up for one's mistakes when retreating". It was first built during the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty. It is the private garden of Ren Lansheng, the military governor of Feng, Ying, Liu and Si. It is plain and simple, yet elegant and simple. His younger brother Ren Aisheng mourned for his brother: "The title is taken from the poem 'retreat and make up for one's mistakes, let's look at the grass and trees in Pingquan together'".



It is built horizontally and consists of four groups of buildings of different styles. From west to east, it is divided into halls, inner houses, courtyards, gardens, Zuochunwangyue Book House, Qinfang, Tuisi Thatched Cottage, Naohongyige, Mianyun Pavilion, etc. The layout is small and exquisite, poetic and charming, and contains traditional connotations. It is a model of oriental garden art.

The most worthwhile place to visit in Tongli is Naohong Yige, which is built close to the water.

Tuisi Garden combines the best of Qing Dynasty gardens. It is small and exquisite, light and elegant, with pavilions and terraces, and is full of fun. It can be called a classic of Jiangnan classical gardens. It is a must-visit place when you go to Tongli.

There is no entrance fee to Tongli Ancient Town, but if you want to visit attractions such as Retreat and Reflection Garden and Pearl Tower, you need a ticket. Retreat and Reflection Garden is the largest attraction in Tongli Ancient Town. The garden layout is very delicate and worth seeing.

It is considered one of the famous gardens. Mr. Chen even wrote a book about Tuisi Garden. The garden is quite large. It has the style of a wealthy family, but it is still a little inferior to the Humble Administrator's Garden.

Tuisi Garden has a unique layout, with pavilions, terraces, towers, chambers, corridors, archways, bridges, terraces, halls, rooms, houses and pavilions. With a pond as its center, all the buildings seem to be floating on the water.

How should I describe Tongli? It is very small and rather run-down. It can also be said that it has been preserved in its original form without any repairs. There are many people on holidays. Entering the scenic area, you can see the shop name banners hanging on the trees and fluttering in the wind everywhere, which has a bit of Jianghu atmosphere. People can also be seen taking photos in ancient costumes everywhere. I basically went to all the places that I bought on the ticket, including the Pearl Tower, Tuisi Garden, Gengle Hall, Wang Shao'ao Memorial Hall, Chongben Hall, Jiayin Hall, and Songshi Wuyuan. I visited various former residences. There are quite a few literati and scholars in Tongli, but I have never heard of them before. In ancient times, if there were such a grand house with waterside pavilions and towers, it must have been a wealthy place. Tuisi Garden, a world cultural heritage, is a typical Jiangnan garden style. You must go to Tongli, but of course it is too small compared to the four major gardens.

Tuisi Garden is similar to the gardens in Suzhou city, small and exquisite, fresh and elegant.

Tuisi Garden was built between 1885 and 1887. The garden director, Lan Sheng, built this place after he was dismissed from his post and returned to his hometown. It covers an area of ​​9.8 mu. Under the ingenious design of Yuan Long, a novel format of left house, courtyard and right garden was constructed from west to east.

Although small, it has everything. This quiet courtyard has a sense of a different world. On the right side of the courtyard is an exhibition hall about the Tuisi Garden.

The back garden is the most beautiful place in Tuisi Garden. Although it is not large in size, it is full of charm and artistic conception. It can be said to have condensed the essence of Jiangnan garden scenery, especially in the drizzle, where every step is a scene.

The layout is ingenious, with pavilions, platforms, towers, pavilions, corridors, bridges, and pavilions all available. The landscape is varied and the main and secondary are clearly distinguished.

When you come here, you will remember that in addition to the Humble Administrator's Garden, Suzhou also has the Tuisi Garden.

Watching fish, appreciating flowers, looking at the moon, reciting poems... thinking back to the life of the garden owner back then, it must have been so carefree and comfortable.

As the iconic garden of Tongli, Tuisi Garden has received many comments.

Generally speaking, the floor plan is divided into four parts horizontally: outer house, inner house, atrium and garden.

The time is listed below. The director of the garden, Lansheng, was dismissed in 1885 and returned to his hometown to repair the garden. In 1887, Tuisi Garden was completed. In 1888, the Yellow River burst its banks and Ren Lansheng was reinstated. He died of illness in the same year. As for the "retreat", Ren really did not enjoy the word "retreat".

Why is Tuisi Garden a classic among classical gardens? You will find the answer after taking a walk around. Tuisi Garden is not about grandeur and pomp, but about poetic charm. The artistic conception and space are highly consistent, making it a model of garden art in Eastern civilization. Every corner of the garden reflects the ingenuity of the owner.

In Tongli Ancient Town, it is one of the attractions that impressed me the most. There were very few people. Someone was playing classical instruments (I can't remember clearly). Anyway, it was a place where people could calm down. I stayed there for a long time. I also got to take advantage of the tour guide, hehe.

A very beautiful small garden. This attraction is right at the entrance of Tongli Ancient Town. It is included in the ticket for Tongli Ancient Town and is also the most classic attraction. The garden is relatively small, but very beautiful.

The essence of Tongli, I bought the ticket just to see this.

Not bad! ! I admire the design of the ancients! It has its own beauty from any angle!

The representative of Suzhou Gardens, very good, worth recommending

Tuisi Garden is not big, but it is very exquisite and elegant, so it has become the only Jiangnan garden selected as a World Cultural Heritage.

Tuisi Garden, located in Tongli Ancient Town, is a world cultural heritage and a must-see attraction in Tongli Ancient Town. The garden was built during the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty. After the owner of the garden was impeached, he returned to his hometown and built the garden based on the idea of ​​"advance with loyalty and retreat with amends" in Zuo Zhuan. Although the garden covers a small area, it integrates pavilions, towers and waterside pavilions. Although small, it has everything, reflecting the essence of Jiangnan gardens.

I personally think that Tuisi Garden is the only garden worth visiting in Tongli, and it cannot be compared with Suzhou's Humble Administrator's Garden and Lion Grove, but it is deep in the ancient town of Tongli, which makes it different from other gardens.

Tuisi Garden was built in the late Qing Dynasty. The owner, Ren Lansheng, retired from the officialdom and built this garden to live in seclusion. Although the garden is small, it gathers the essence of classical gardens, with "three trees, three unique and three treasures", pavilions, terraces, towers, pavilions, corridors, squares, bridges, terraces, halls, rooms and pavilions. This is the only classical garden outside Suzhou City that has been selected as a World Cultural Heritage. It has been used as a filming location for many film and television dramas and is a must-see for visitors to Tongli. Due to the terrain limitations and the owner's unwillingness to show off his wealth, the architectural pattern of Tuisi Garden broke the convention and changed from vertical to horizontal, from west to east, with the west as the house, the middle as the courtyard, and the east as the garden. In Tuisi Garden, the most dynamic is the Noisy Red Boat. The Noisy Red Boat is a stone boat that stands out in the pond. It is not moved by the wind or the waves. People standing on the bow feel like they are boating on the lake. The boat is supported by the lake rocks and is half immersed in the clear water. The water swirls through the holes in the lake rocks, and the gurgling sound is endless. On the side of the water, the reflections of the clouds float, as if the boat has set sail, which is very interesting. Around the stone boat, there were originally lotus and cattails. In summer and autumn, the breeze is gentle and the green clouds are swaying. The fish in the lotus pond seem to understand human nature. With a slight clap of hands, they will go away in groups, which is very interesting.

Very unique layout, horizontal layout. It was raining heavily when I went there that day, there were few people, very quiet. It is definitely worth going. The backyard is very beautiful. 360 degrees of scenery. I really wish it was my own backyard

This is the most worthwhile garden in Tongli, very beautiful!

Tuisi Garden was built during the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty. It was built by the owner Ren Lansheng after he was impeached and dismissed from office. Tuisi Garden is not large in area and is much smaller than other gardens in Suzhou, but it does not affect its exquisiteness at all.

The most attractive place in Tongli is undoubtedly the famous Tuisi Garden. If Tongli Town was a little closer to the railway or highway, Tuisi Garden would be packed with tourists. But it is a little far from Shanghai and closer from Suzhou. However, Suzhou has too many gardens, and the gentle Suzhou people are not happy to take a long-distance bus. So, a great garden stays quietly, and it is this point that I particularly value. No matter what architectural style Chinese classical gardens rely on, they must use silence as their own rhythm. With silence, the whole structure will be combined into a kind of elegant and beautiful guzheng solo, and without silence, its internal overall style will be lost. It is very sad to visit a classical garden in the crowded crowd. If there is a chance, perhaps it has just stopped raining and tourists have not arrived, or it is dusk. The courtyard is deserted. If you are lucky enough to walk in such a garden, you will feel that you have entered a state, empty and floating but full of vitality, and you can hardly believe that you have been here many times before.

Tuisi Garden has a history of more than 100 years. The director of the garden, Lansheng, was from Tongli. He was a high-ranking official. He was granted the title of Senior Advisor, the title of Cabinet Scholar, the post of Fengying Liusi Military Preparations Road, and concurrently the post of Huaibei Yali Bureau and Fengyang Banknote Customs. He was in charge of a large area of ​​present-day Anhui Province. Later, like many court officials, he was impeached and dismissed. So he returned to his hometown Tongli and asked an outstanding artist named Yuan Long from the town to build this garden. The garden was named "Tuisi".

I remember that I went to the Lingering Garden. The garden is not very big, but very exquisite. The design of small but great makes it a must-see for architecture students.

Tuisi Garden is located in Tongli Ancient Town and is included in the 100 yuan entrance ticket to Tongli Ancient Town (half price for seniors over 60 years old), but Tuisi Garden is the biggest feature of Tongli Ancient Town. Why not visit Tuisi Garden when you come to Tongli for a visit!

The Tuisi Garden is not very large and is L-shaped. There is a small garden on the east side that is slightly larger than the main house. The beautiful scenery is all in the garden, which fully concentrates the essence of Jiangnan gardens, with changing scenery, pavilions and towers, which are small and exquisite without looking messy.

1. The entrance to the ticket gate is the westernmost section of the Retreat and Reflection Garden, which is also the hall. It is basically used for accommodation and reception of guests. The main house is a two-story building with a patio in the middle. The house to the south is the Tongli History Exhibition Hall, which exhibits some pictures of humanities and history. There are guides in the Retreat and Reflection Garden. Following the guides, you can understand the basic architectural structure and functions. For example, it is worth mentioning that the design of the through-hall door is poured with iron blocks, which has the function of anti-theft.

2. There is a small round house between the main house and the garden, which seems to be the main entrance of the owner. There is a land boat building there, which was originally used as a place for guests. As time goes by, the trees in the garden grow more and more lush. The windows on the second floor are closed, which makes people think of the living scenes of the owner's family in the past.

3. In the small garden in the east, there is a small pond, which is full of plump koi. Pavilions, towers, pavilions and rockery scenery are all around the pond, connected by corridors. It is exquisite and small, but not boring. There are surprises and beautiful scenery everywhere. The only regret is that it is too underestimated, and it becomes very crowded when there are too many visitors.

4. It is worth mentioning that our visit happened to be during the Mid-Autumn Festival. When we were about to walk out of the garden, we smelled an extremely sweet and refreshing fragrance of osmanthus. It turned out that the exit that is most easily overlooked is the Osmanthus Hall. The garden is full of osmanthus trees, and the fragrance is overwhelming when the season arrives.

Tuisi Garden is excellent, fully displaying the small and exquisite features of Jiangnan gardens and the beauty of winding paths.

Authentic!

Although the garden is small, it has pavilions, terraces, towers, pavilions, corridors, squares, bridges, terraces, halls, rooms, and pavilions. It is a very exquisite garden.

Apparently, when the owner of the garden failed in officialdom,

When you advance, be loyal; when you retreat, make amends.

Unique in Chinese gardens

Tuisi Garden is an important attraction in Tongli Ancient Town, which is included in the ticket for the ancient town. The courtyard is not particularly large, but very exquisite. It is said that it was built by an official of the Qing Dynasty after he was detained and returned to his hometown.

The gardens in the south of the Yangtze River are so beautiful, with green water, white walls, and green tiles, every bit of which is full of the style of the south of the Yangtze River. It is a must-see attraction in Tongli Ancient Town. It was drizzling on the day I went there, and there were very few tourists. It was very interesting to lean on the railing to enjoy the scenery. It is very suitable for sitting quietly for an afternoon.

The Tuisi Garden only covers an area of ​​9.8 mu.

If the Humble Administrator's Garden is a lady from a noble family

The Tuisi Garden is undoubtedly a typical beautiful girl from a small family.

The compact layout and scenery at every step condense the essence of Jiangnan gardens

I'm saying it's worth going to those friends who have already bought tickets.

If you don't buy a ticket, it's okay if you don't go.

Tuisi Garden was built during the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty. It was built by Lan Sheng, the director of the garden, after he was impeached and dismissed from his post. The name of the garden, "Tuisi", means "to make up for one's mistakes", which is taken from the name in Zuo Zhuan, which shows the Qing official's desire to retire. Compared with the four famous gardens in Suzhou, Tuisi Garden is a small garden with a small area of ​​9.8 mu. Because it is small, it is designed more delicately. Most of the buildings in the garden are attached to the water. The essence is concentrated in the garden. In addition to water, there are a lot of Taihu stones in Tuisi Garden. Even if you plant a tree in the small courtyard, there are Taihu stones dotted in between. Tuisi Garden has a unique layout, with pavilions, terraces, towers, pavilions, corridors, squares, bridges, terraces, halls, halls, rooms, and pavilions, and the personality of the owner of the garden is also integrated into it.

As a world heritage site, Tuisi Garden is quite disappointing. It is just an ordinary Suzhou garden. Compared with other gardens, there is nothing special about it.

It was very hot when I went there. By the time I got to Tuisi Garden, I couldn't walk any more. I just looked around and saw a lot of people. There were really a lot of people.

The overall building is good, the garden is large and the environment is good.

The most famous attraction in Tongli is a private garden. Like many private gardens in Jiangnan, it has small bridges, flowing water and houses. It is well preserved and not crowded with tourists. It is a very pleasant place.

The name of the garden is taken from the "Zuo Zhuan" which means "When advancing, think of being loyal; when retreating, think of making amends." Yuan Long, the designer of Tuisi Garden, cleverly used less than ten acres of land to design buildings such as Zuochun Wangyue Book House, Qinfang, Tuisi Thatched Cottage, Naohong Yige, and Mianyun Pavilion. Tuisi Garden combines the strengths of Qing Dynasty gardens. It is small and exquisite, light and elegant, with pavilions and terraces, and full of fun. It can be called a classic of Jiangnan classical gardens. Landscape architect Chen Congzhou called Tuisi Garden a "waterside garden." Confucius said: "The wise enjoy water, and the benevolent enjoy mountains."

I think it is worth a visit. It is not inferior to the "Humble Administrator's Garden" in Suzhou.

One of the highlights of Tongli Ancient Town is Tuisi Garden!

The small and exquisite forest has a different tranquility from the Suzhou gardens, and it is very comfortable to walk in it.

I prefer the harmonious and natural look of the garden's rockery and waterscape.

Tuisi Garden was built between the 11th and 13th years of Emperor Guangxu's reign in the Qing Dynasty. The director of the garden, Lansheng, was named Wanxiang and alias Nanyun. In the 10th year of Emperor Guangxu's reign (1884), Zhou Derun, a cabinet scholar, and Ren Lansheng occupied Lijin and enriched themselves. In the first month of the 11th year of Emperor Guangxu's reign (1885), Ren Lansheng was dismissed from his post. Soon after, the Ministry of Finance discussed the removal of his position because the merits he had obtained were not true. Ren Lansheng was dismissed from his post and returned to his hometown. He spent 100,000 taels of silver to build a house and garden named "Tuisi". His brother Ren Aisheng wrote a poem in mourning for his brother, which said, "The title is taken from Tuisi to make up for the past, and Pingquan grass and trees are seen together." It can be seen that the name of the garden is taken from the meaning of "Advance and think of loyalty, retreat and think of making up for the past" in Zuo Zhuan. The designer of Tuisi Garden, Yuan Long, was named Dongli, and was proficient in poetry, calligraphy and painting. He built the garden in two years based on the characteristics of the Jiangnan water town, adapted to local conditions, and made ingenious ideas. The garden covers an area of ​​only 9.8 mu, which is simple and elegant, and has the architectural style of Jiangnan gardens in the late Qing Dynasty. The layout of Tuisi Garden is unique, with pavilions, terraces, towers, pavilions, corridors, squares, bridges, terraces, halls, rooms, and pavilions. With the pond as the center, the buildings seem to float on the water.

Tuisi Garden can be said to be the essence of the entire Tongli! After entering from the gate of Tongli, go straight forward, and not far away after passing the Grand Theater of Tongli, you will find Tuisi Garden. On the gate in front of the gate, you can see the sign that Tuisi Garden is listed on the World Cultural Heritage List. After entering, I felt the charm of Suzhou gardens for the first time. Unlike the Yangzhou Ge Garden and He Garden that I visited before, Tuisi Garden gives people a deeper feeling. The area is not too large or small, and there are many places to appreciate and enjoy! Personally, I like the small lake in the middle of the garden the most. No matter which direction you look at the lake, you feel that the whole courtyard is a beautiful picture. Although it is said that you change the scenery with every step, your feet are reluctant to move, and you feel that your eyes are not enough! The beauty of Tuisi Garden can be said to be a representative of the beauty of the entire Tongli!

The Tuisi Garden is a world cultural heritage and a typical Suzhou garden. When entering the Tuisi Garden, it is best to ask a tour guide to explain the characteristics of many private residences and garden buildings, which are also common to all the residences and scenic spots in Tongli.

Very beautiful, very beautiful, highly recommended, in Tongli Ancient Town, listed as a tangible cultural heritage, beautiful

I must strongly recommend it. It is the most beautiful place in Tongli. I walked back and forth here many times. Every angle is a complete landscape painting. Although the green is not strong in winter, it is enough to show its beauty. The exquisiteness of the garden is fully revealed. The rocks and flowing water echo each other. There is water under the scenery and scenery in the water. How can one word "beautiful" describe it.
