Few days ago, I went to a tourist spot in SuZhou named Shi Zi Ling, which means Garden of Lions in Chinese. There are obviouslly no lions in the 600 hundred old garden, just about 100 lion-like rocks which are placed almost everywhere in the antique garden.
I bought tickets which costs 15 yuan to go inside the fancy garden. It is said that an emporer was once lost in this gigantic garden. I was almost lost too. I walked about 2 hours in this gardens. Besides the lion-like rocks, there is also a huge maze made out of again lion-like rocks which is as big as a mini-mountain.
There is a pagoda at the center of the lake called Hu Xin Ting, which means the pagoda in the middle of the lake (duh,). There is also a pagoda which a emperor once went before and gave its name, Zhen Qu Ting. Its name was once Zhen You Qu Ting, which means fun pagoda, but the You in the name was taken away because it was too goofy.
After buying a book at the souvenir store, I went back home.
