Leisure Ride - 拙政园 (The Humble Administrator's Garden)

I wanted to go for mountain riding with the Suzhou Riders but woke up late due to a nite outing yesterday. So, in the Saturday afternoon, was idling at home and though of going out for a ride in town again. This map shows the route.

Point 1 - Pretty white flower along the road side. As autumn is here, flower start to blossom again.
Point 2 - By the old transport canal (运河). Across the canal is the Suzhou Zoo. I have not been there and have no interest to visit. Probably just another zoo.

Point 3 - (2 pictures), By cycling across a bride, I can to this huge monument. It is so huge that my Merida mountain bike is so insignificant.

Point 4 - Cycling further down west along Eastern North Street (东北街), I had reached The Humble Administrator's Garden. This garden was built in 1509 with an area of 52000 sqm. For more information, please refer to here.

This picture was taken when my family visited me during early part of June. We visited the garden back then. Well taken by the guide who advice us to to pose in the picture.
Point 5 - Shops selling souvenir along the street outside the garden.

Point 7,8,9 - Riding back along the street, there is a small street that is more like a open market. It was very crowded. Stall selling fruit, snack, vegetable and illegal (the guy wearing red flower short) selling fish heads.
Point 10,11 - After about 2 hrs, I decide to head home. I passed by a bridge. This bridge reminds me of the bridge span across the Kallang river outside the Singapore Indoor stadium. The atmosphere is definitely not romantic comparing to that of the one in Singapore though.
