The Which Way Challenge, that Cee began, has been picked up by the Sonofthebeach69 blogger. The beauty of it is that it’s free form. You can include images of doors, gates, roads, streets exits, signs, paths, waterways, you name it.
This week I’m sharing photos of Suzhou, China, which has many small canals in it’s Old Town.

Ailsa of Where’s My Backpack chose gardens as this week’s theme. I visited Suzhou in December and despite the winter cold, the well designed garden still offers repose and remains place for a stroll. Suzhou’s an hour or so from Shanghai and is home to many gardens including this one, the Humble Administrator’s Garden. Many take the “humble” with a grain of salt.
There are dozens more interpretations of the garden theme linked to Where’s My Backpack. Enjoy!

On of the jewels in Suzhou’s crown is the Humble Administrator’s Garden. Suzhou has many, many terrific Chinese gardens which were first designed in the 11th – 16th centuries and maintained (with varying care) to this day.
Visiting in December, I wasn’t sure I’d enjoy a classical garden all that much. However, because the design is so harmonious, I found I immensely enjoyed strolling through the gardens. The underlying structure is ingenious so there’s beauty whether they’re seen in full bloom or with the stark beauty I saw in December. In fact, since the crowds don’t flock in the winter, I think my experience surpassed what I’d feel jostling with summer tourists by the busload.
From mid-April through October entrance fee is 70 rmb. From November 1 to April 15th, it’s 50 rmb.
