North Pagoda Garden

North Pagoda Garden is a Buddhist monastery and garden complex centered around the Beisi Pagoda, originally built during the Sung Dynasty and rebuilt during the Ming Dynasty. The pagoda offers views of Suzhou, though the uppermost level is sometimes closed. The grounds include several temples, halls filled with Buddhist texts, and peaceful garden areas. Visitors appreciate its calmer atmosphere compared to more popular Suzhou gardens. Access can sometimes be affected by ongoing roadwork and construction, requiring visitors to seek out a secondary entrance.
