You may know the famous saying: Up in the sky there is heaven (天堂); down on Earth -Suzhou and Hangzhou. Why are the two cities special? That might seem crazy when there are so many beautiful places

in China. However, Suzhou is really outstanding.

　 Suzhou was built in 514 BC. It has a long history. Sun Wu wrote The Art of War in Suzhou. The Italian traveler Marco Polo spent time there in 1276. Also, as a cultural city, Suzhou is well known for the Hanshan Temple and Zhouzhuang. Zhouzhuang is one of the most famous water towns in China. Suzhou is best known for its classical gardens. You can hardly find two symmetrical (对称的) things in the gardens, though symmetry is important for keeping harmony (和谐) in any building. In fact, the gardens try to avoid symmetry. But are the gardens harmonious? Of course. Everything in the gardens matches perfectly. The trees around the ponds (池塘) have harmony with the rocks (假山), and the stone bridges find harmony with their reflections (倒影) in the water. The Summer Palace in Beijing was built following the design of the Suzhou gardens. In recent years, the Suzhou gardens' style has traveled across the world.
