　　Text 8

　　M：Kathy，have you ever been to Suzhou in East China's Jiangsu Province?

　　W：Not yet.But I know Suzhou is known as a garden city.

　　M：Right.The earliest gardens of Suzhou belonged to the King of Wu.They date far back to the Spring and Autumn Period of the 6th century BC.And more gardens were built in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

　　W：Yes.The number of gardens in Suzhou increased to over 200 from the 16th to the 18th century.Dozens of them have survived to the present and are kept in a good state of preservation.

　　M：These gardens often have to be constructed in a limited amount of space but still enable one to feel the charm of mountains，forests and springs.Walkways and bridges divide the whole area into smaller gardens within gardens and by the technique of“borrowing views”，scenery is borrowed both from outside and inside the garden.

　　W：Exactly.Among the classical gardens of Suzhou，I like the Humble Administrator's Garden most，or in Chinese Zhuozheng Yuan.It is the largest private garden in Suzhou，as well as one of the four most famous classical gardens in China.
