In the Lion's Grove Garden

This Suzhou garden was built in 1342 during the reign of Emporer Zhizheng of the Yuan Dynasty. It's famous for its artifical hills and caves of different styles. It was fun to climb up the narrow rockery stairs and in and out of little caves. Do you see the lion's mouth open in a roar in the picture below? It was so neat to be back in Suzhou with my dad and mom!

The parents of this cute little guy wanted a picture of their son with Madelyn... nothing new to her. Chinese people are always touching her face (they love light skin) or hair and admiring her, and she has been asked to be in photos a number of other times. Gwen jumped right in!

Beautiful carved wood inside this building in the garden.

Scott was having fun with the zoom lens...

Another roaring lion!
