・The Lingering Garden, one of the four great gardens of China (World Heritage Site)
The Lingering Garden is one of the four great gardens in China, along with the Humble Administrator's Garden in Suzhou, the Summer Palace in Beijing, and the Summer Resort in Chengde. It was registered as a World Heritage Site in 1997 as a classical Chinese garden. You will be enchanted by the intricate beauty of the buildings and the beautiful scenery created by the natural surroundings such as the ponds and plants. In summer, the lotus flowers bloom in the ponds in the gardens, making them even more beautiful.

・Tiger Hill Leaning Tower
The Song Dynasty poet Su Dongpo wrote, "It would be a pity to visit Suzhou but not visit Tiger Hill." Tiger Hill is a 47.5m-tall octagonal tower with seven floors. The tower, which is leaning due to subsidence, is also called the Chinese version of the Tower of Pisa.

・Kanshanji Temple (1000 years old temple)
This temple was founded during the Tianjian period (502-519) of the Southern Dynasty Emperor Wu of Liang, and has a history of over 1,000 years. It is famous for the stone monument with the seven-character quatrain "Fengqiao Night Mooring" written by the Tang Dynasty poet Zhang Ji.
