Suzhou Gardens | A Summer Exclusive Green Aesthetic and Hidden Gems for Stunning Photos

The green aesthetics of Suzhou gardens have captivated me this summer 🌿

🌿 Swaying Bamboo Shadows
The summer sunlight filters through layers of bamboo leaves, casting dappled shadows on the stone paths. Every snapshot is like a traditional Chinese painting 📸
Must-visit spot: Bamboo Path in Lingering Garden

💦 Glimmering Lotus Leaves
The early bloom of summer lotus is breathtaking, with shimmering light dancing on the water's surface. Don't forget to bring a sunhat and a traditional Chinese fan for the perfect photo!

🌱 Mossy Charm
