In March, magnolias, crabapples, cherry blossoms, and peonies 💐 bloom in succession, and in April, wisteria flowers hang down like waterfalls, allowing you to immerse yourself in the ancient people's leisurely mood of "enjoying the fun of mountains and forests without leaving the city." Lion Grove Garden Known for its rockery kingdom built with Taihu stones, with strange stones standing and winding caves. Walking into it is like breaking into a natural maze, and you can feel the fun and ingenuity of "rockery stacking" in the roundabout shuttle. In March, magnolias and crabapples bloom one after another, and in April, wisteria flowers 🌷 climb between the rockeries, adding a soft color to the strange stone garden. Hanshan Temple Famous for Zhang Ji's "Maple Bridge Night Mooring," the millennium-old temple has a melodious bell, echoing through the years on the banks of Maple Bridge. Standing on the ancient bridge and gazing at the Yunhe River, it seems that you can empathize with the poet's homesickness thousands of years ago. Qili Shantang "One Shantang Street, half a Gusu city," the water lanes with green tiles and white walls, the families living by the river, and the painted boats traveling back and forth, are full of the worldly fireworks and poetic romance of the "most romantic place in the world".
