What are the similarities and differences between Suzhou gardens and chengde mountain resort architectural styles?

Suzhou gardens belong to private estates, so the area is very limited. It pays attention to creating the best scenery in a limited space, which is exquisite and can be said to be small, but it will feel stingy if you look at it too much.

The Summer Resort was built in the reign of Emperor Kangxi, and it is a royal garden. The overall impression is that the atmosphere is very atmospheric, with a large mountainous area and a large lake area. At the same time, many buildings in the Heping Plain area of the Lake District have been copied according to the magnificent scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, such as two dikes in the lake and the building storing the Four Ku Quanshu, but their changes are not as good as those in Suzhou gardens. Even so, they are very interesting and worth tasting.
