While Suzhou is renowned for its UNESCO-listed classical gardens, there’s a lesser-known gem that locals and visitors are embracing. Scattered throughout the city are numerous “pocket gardens”—tiny patches of greenery that brighten up spaces ranging from public squares to spots as small as a phone booth.
These miniature oases are more than just decorative; they’re turning Suzhou into a haven for green therapy. Wherever you go in the city, you’re likely to stumble upon these serene spots, offering a breath of fresh air amid the urban hustle.
The pervasive presence of these pocket gardens showcases Suzhou’s commitment to incorporating nature into city life, making it a model for urban green spaces. For those seeking a moment of tranquility, Suzhou’s pocket gardens are the perfect escape.
