北塔公园

北塔园林，爬到顶层可以看到苏州全貌，景点在市中心，很明显。 这里也有隐形消费，大家要小心哦。

如果你不去仔细地观察一草一木，你怎么能发现公园的美？虽然我去的时候还不是最美的夏天，但路边含苞欲放的花和青翠挺拔的竹，已经开始给这个原本就美丽的城市注入了更多的生命力了。

北寺塔又称报恩寺，是古城区内最高的建筑，入内就看到一弥勒佛笑口常开，其实寺院很大，内有很多的园林水景可看

北寺亦称报恩寺，是苏州最古老的佛寺，距今已有1700多年了。园内池面宽阔，山石空灵，俯视水中巍峨塔影，别有一番情趣。

北寺亦称报恩寺，是苏州最古老的佛寺，距今已有1700多年。始建于三国东吴赤乌年间（238-251 年）。相传是东吴孙权的母亲吴太夫人舍宅而建。古称通玄寺，唐初改称开元寺，五代后周显德年间（954-960年）易名为报恩寺。

北塔在北门外，这片区域现在成了北塔公园。可以登塔远眺，在塔上可以看到整个苏州城内的灰檐白墙。塔下有片池水、绿地，也有园林的意境，但所不知道是新修的还是原有的。

经过两天的阴霾天气，今儿终于放晴了。下午，果断去北塔公园遛弯！湖水已经冻瓷实了，冰上有人行走、玩耍，商贩也开始出租冰椅供游人嬉戏！行至公园篮球场发现有一小伙竟然赤臂打球！相比于我 ，大衣套小棉袄，顿感年青真好啊！

吃了好久都没吃到的猪头面，真美味。北塔公园一到夏天的晚上就好热闹，风景也好。

晚饭后在广场乘凉，跟在数十位大叔大娘爷爷奶奶身后随音乐跳起舞来，从天大亮一直跳到天黑，估计是这个北塔公园数以千计的人群中年纪最小，跳的最卖力的一位舞者。

所谓北塔公园，就一座塔占地面积那么大的地方…有生见过最小的公园于是我们在两点吃完饭休息了俩小时之后…开车赶在了吃晚饭的路上。 我在#北门塔广场#

北塔公园的羽毛球场的线都画错了，看着就别扭！下面是标准的！

前天路过北塔公园，用手机拍了几张照片，很喜欢白杨树，尤其是蓝空下的白杨树，犹如在向蓝天招手的无数白色的手臂，现在手掌还藏在夏天里看不见听不到哗啦啦的掌声，所以一切还静悄悄的。当时天色太白，看不见手机屏幕，只好对着杨树乱照，可惜不小心手放在上面了，应该把照片修一下才好。

北塔公园<建于宋代的多宝庵塔/药师寺塔，一般被称为“北门锥子”>

We climbed up many old rocky paths to see waterfalls and hanging gardens!Exquisite!Might be hard climb for elderly or disabled!

A pagoda was first built here during the Sung Dynasty and Beisi Pagoda retains something of a Sung-era apprearance. The current structure was built during the Ming Dynasty but it retained many nuances from the earlier Sung Dynasty original. That makes it one of the more appealing and authentic timber and brick pagodas in Jiangsu.This ancient tower rises up 9 floors via a spiral staircase and it is worth climbing to the top for wide views of the city and (sadly) its smog. You can see Tiger Hill to one side and the skyscrapers outside the old town moat area on the other. There are also numerous old whitewashed Chinese houses in the surrounding area. Before you leave the temple it is also wirth checking out the old timber hall that has survived in a neighboring courtyard.

There are very nice views from the top of the high Pagoda reachable by lot of narrow stairs from level to another. From the top levels good views over oldtown Suzhou. In addition to the Pagoda there is the welcoming Buddha statue and some garden area & temple.

Having just visited the Humble Administrator's Garden with the crowds of people there, it was great to walk through this less traveled park which I found to be within easy walking distance. Relatively inexpensive (25RMB) and there's actually a lot to see. A large buddha statue as you first walk in. A temple and several other buildings with golden statues and of course the pagoda. It was fun to climb with some good views of Suzhou (it was "cloudy" that day). The stairs are a little challenging at times but there are some good areas at each level to walk around. The pagoda itself could use a few touchups of paint but generally good with nice statues around the base. Kind of surprising to see grafitti at the top level. Looked down at the Silk Museum (which ended up being the worst stop for the day) which is basically across the street. There was also a small garden further back that led to a small tea house / restaurant overlooking a small pond stocked of course with fish. All in all, a great, relaxing place to visit.

The place is calm and quiet. It was the rain, and there were few tourists. At the entrance we were met by a smiling Buddha. Pagoda towering over the garden and of course we decided to climb up. The best view - on the lower floors. Park and temples are visible from above and as long as they are treated then you hear the bells from the roof. The upper floors of view uninteresting - roofs, gray buildings. Inside the pagoda in a poor state, peeled paint and a lot of cracks.

I had cycled from the garden of the fish nets to the lingering garden, and from there I cycled to the silk museum, which was not very interesting, but it took me right past the North Pagoda, an impressive view from afar. So I had to go in, and I did not regret it. The grounds are very interesting, quite tranquil, with some nice statues, and you can climb all the way to the top floor on rickety stairs. The view is nice, you get a good impression of Suzhou, and it is really striking how there are no high rises in the centre of town. From the North Pagoda, I cycled to the Humble Administrator's Garden, and was amazed how close it was.

If you're staying near there. We did, and found the 25 yuan admission to be acceptable. The view is not much but walking up the stairs is a fun change from all the walking u normally do when sightseeing. In one of the buildings there were lots and lots of books on Buddhism in Chinese I do speak Chinese so it was a very nice surprise to me they also have DVDs I have no idea what's on then yet, they said music, the cover says stories.
