While in Suzhou, we visited two Chinese gardens. Obviously, they would be much more beautiful in the spring or summer months; however, what we were able to see was amazing.

The rocks in the photo above with Phil, and the one below, were taken from the bottom of a lake, and have been in place hundreds and hundreds of years ago.

Behold, a genuine Chinese lantern!

I'm with Dawn, our English-speaking tour guide.
