  • The Lingering Garden is very unique in that a good portion of the garden is filled with buildings of various kinds of architecture and the gardens use the spaces between these buildings to fill up the area with beauty. Some of the buildings worth seeing are the Pellucid Tower, the Zigzag Stream Tower and the Refreshing Breeze Pavilion. The hall that is found in the garden is the best one in all of Suzhou. The garden was listed as a cultural relic of national importance in 1961 by the Chinese government. Inside, there is a a man-made mountain and lake as well as the original site of Xu's East Garden and the villa of Liu. This villa is the best part of the gardens. Other areas of the main garden also contain extensions of other gardens. These particular gardens of Suzhou have the Auspicious Cloud and Mountainous Cloud peaks, all made of limestone and are the highest in all of the classical gardens in the city. There are also a great number of stele in this garden that are superior to any other garden in the city. There are works of more than 100 calligraphers here, spanning several dynasties.
