首批公布的20个国家公园包括9个苏州古典园林，这些园林不仅以其悠久的历史，而且以其精致的景色给游客留下了深刻的印象，尤其是沧浪亭、拙政园、留园、狮子林，这四个最著名的代表了宋、元、明、清不同朝代风格的园林。 National parks The first batch of 20 national parks include 9 Suzhou classical gardens：Zhuozheng Garden，Liu Garden，Wangshi Garden，Huanxiu Villa，Lion Grove，Yipu Garden，Ou Garden，Tuisi Garden and Canglang Pavilion. National parks refer to the famous city parks and gardens.Suzhou classical gardens are parts of China's precious cultural heritage (all the 9 gardens are on the list of World Cultural Heritage) as well as a necessary part of the life of Suzhou citizens，not to mention they are also world-famous tourism resorts.In fact，their unique historical and cultural background serves to contribute to their ranking among national parks. The earliest classical gardens in Suzhou can date back to the Song Dynasty.However，the gardens impress their visitors not only with their age-old history but also with their delicate scenes，particularly Canglang Pavilion，Zhuozheng Garden，Lion Grove and Liu Garden，the most famous four that represent different styles of dynasties of Song，Yuan，Ming and Qing. In 1978，an imitation of a Suzhou classical garden was set up by Chen Congzhou (the author of the book Suzhou Classical Gardens) in the City Museum of Art in New York，US，which was the first time ever to directly introduce Chinese ancient architecture to Westerners.
