Writing about the Humble Administrator's Garden today and discovered this photo I took through one of its lattice windows perfectly framing Suzhou's North Pagoda (北寺塔) about 1.5km away. In classical Chinese garden design, this is known as 遠借 or the 'borrowed view from afar'.

I'm seeking someone in my #China network who is an expert on #chinesegardens and/or the city of #Suzhou to be a featured voice in a travel book section (for a major publisher) on the Humble Administrator's Garden. If that's you or someone you know, please send me a message!
