- The Humble Administrator's
Garden -
The "HUMBLE ADMINISTRATOR'S
GARDEN" is much bigger than the "GARDEN OF THE MASTER OF THE NETS" ,- maybe
the biggest of the Suzhou gardens -, since it covers about five hectares.
It was constructed in the early
1500s , which also makes it much newer.
We ,- Kit Yu and I -,
arrived quite late in the afternoon , so not only time was running out
, but also the light, which resulted in a most inadequate exploration
of this huge area , but still I managed to get some shots before it was
too late - - -
The "Humble Administrator's
Garden" is bigger, but certainly not better than the "Garden of the Master
of the Nets" ,- so we did not return for more impressions , which might
be an injustice to this great classical garden - - -
But maybe another time???
I hope so - - -
