Suzhou also has a Monet Garden! The water lilies at Tiger Hill Wetland are stunningly beautiful

Recently, the water lilies at Suzhou Tiger Hill Wetland Park have become incredibly popular. You don’t need to go to Paris to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of Monet’s Garden. Follow my guide to enjoy this romantic pond!
🗺️Route Navigation
Navigate directly to "Tiger Hill Wetland Park New Fishing Bridge Entrance." After crossing the bridge, turn left and walk about 500 meters along the riverside path. After you see the public restroom, enter the small path next to it to reach the water lily area. It’s super easy to find!
🕙Best Viewing Time
The water lilies are like punctual workers, opening around 7 - 9 AM and slowly closing between 2 - 3 PM. To see them at their most beautiful, be sure to visit in the morning when the sunlight is gentle and the flowers are in full bloom.
📸Perfect Photo Spots
1. Middle of the floating bridge: Standing here, the water lilies, water surface, and sky blend into one. Every shot looks like a masterpiece. Wear a light-colored long dress, and when the wind blows, you instantly get the same vibe as the movie "Life of Pi."

2. Pavilion in the lake: Walk straight 300 meters from the boardwalk. Get your telephoto lens ready; if you’re lucky, you can capture a moorhen darting through the water lilies or a kingfisher diving to catch prey. It’s like a real-life BBC documentary.

3. Framed area: The unique frame turns the water lily pond and dawn redwood forest into a painting, full of artistic feeling and very creative for photos.
📷Photography Tips
1. A telephoto lens is a must-have to capture close-ups of the water lilies and the lively moments of water birds.

2. At dusk, lower the exposure compensation to capture the water lilies’ deep blue glow and flying night herons, creating a full atmosphere.

3. Choose light or solid-colored clothing to complement the water lilies, fresh and natural.
💡Other Tips
1. There are many mosquitoes in the water lily area, so bring mosquito repellent to keep the little bugs from ruining your mood.

2. Don’t use strong flashlights at night to avoid disturbing the water lilies and small animals.

3. There aren’t many food vendors in the park, so bring some snacks and water to recharge whenever you get tired.
Since not many people know about it yet, hurry to Tiger Hill Wetland Park for a date with the water lilies and bring the summer from Monet’s paintings home!
