Formerly Fanli's residence and back garden, Li Garden (Li yuan) is set in front of the Hubin Hotel, on the shore of Taihu Lake. The garden is actually a spread of artificial bridges and pagodas dotted around small fishponds. The most interesting sight is the 1,000 metre long corridor that winds its way through the park. Along the way are inscriptions of ancient calligraphers. In the springtime, when the plum blossoms, the garden is often heavily crowded with local visitors.

How to get to Li Garden: Take bus No.1 from the railway station. You can spend an hour walking in the garden after visiting Turtle Head Isle.
Cost: RMB15.
Opening hours: 06:30-17:30.
