A perfect place to visit in the summer, the only problem is that everyone else will be visiting it then too; as soon as you arrive you can either walk along the river or get a boat cruise across the beautiful water which reflects the hanging trees and clear sunny skies above. Along the sides of the river are hundreds of different kinds of plants of all different sizes and colours and paths leading in different directions, giving something new to discover each time you visit. At the centre of the lake rests the most famous landmark in the city of Yangzhou, the Five pavilion bridge, it's bright colours look beautiful in the sunlight and is usually filled with other people coming to visit. As you explore the different parts of the lake you can see birds like swans or peacocks and groups of people taking the perfect photo. You see the traditional Chinese architecture, old buildings lost behind plant life and different paths to explore.

We enjoyed walking through the area on the sacred pathway (lined with stone animals and soldiers) on the way to the tomb. The cost to enter is 70 RMB and you can pay 100 RMB to get a discount ticket to see other attractions in the purple mountain area as of March 2021. The gardens are well maintained and there are plenty of signs to point you in the right direction. The ramps to go to the top of the tomb building are a little slippery and uneven so make sure you have good shoes. There are also lots of cats and pollen in this area when we went in March 2021 so you might want to bring your allergy medication just in case. There were also plenty of mosquitoes but they did not bite at all. Lots of places to grab snacks and drinks in the park area - the highlight for us was a Johnsonville sausage trailer! Closest Metro to the main gate was Muxuyuan. To Didi here you can enter "Ming Xiaoling Masoleum Scenic Area - Ticket Office".

I am primarily reviewing the garden rather than the pagoda, the gate or the restored wall, as that is where I spent the most time - and the garden is gorgeous and, as someone else mentioned, not crowded at all. As others have mentioned, entrance to the garden is free if you are staying at the adjacent Pan Pacific Hotel (in which case you should absolutely make a point of visiting the garden). If you are in the garden early enough, you can watch people doing tai chi. Unlike most of the other Suzhou gardens, this garden is recent and is a sort of combination of classical Chinese ideas of gardening and western concepts of gardening. For this reason the garden is more spread out than other Suzhou gardens, and there is more greenery and more emphasis on colours from flowers and shrubs. The end result is very beautiful. If you are visiting in April, the peonies will be blooming, and they are stunning. Just to the south of the Panmen Scenic area there is a park that follows the bank of the Waicheng River for some distance. This is a scenic stroll, with many benches for relaxing, and it will take you past the 900-year-old Wumen Bridge.
