Coiled Gate
By the southwest corner of the outer moat (but entered from Dong Dajie), and part of one of Sūzhōu’s few remaining stretches of city wall, Coiled Gate is thought to be China’s last remaining land-and-water-gate, and dates from 1355. Inside the same grounds, Ruiguang Pagoda (Ruìguāng Tǎ) dates from the 3rd century and can be climbed. Further north, Gold Gate (Jīn Mén), just inside the western stretch of the city moat, is a plain but charming, unrestored city gate.

Less visited than other gardens around Sūzhōu is the small Qing dynasty Garden of Harmony, which has assimilated many of the features of older gardens and delicately blended them into a style of its own.

Lions’ Grove
The one-hectare Lions’ Grove garden, constructed in 1350 by the monk Tian Ru, is famed for its strangely shaped rocks, meant to resemble lions, protectors of the Buddhist faith.
