In Suzhou's classical gardens, various types of "flower windows" can be found everywhere.

These exquisite flower windows are decorative transom windows which belong to one of the common expression methods of the garden "borrowed scenery" art.

Whether it's the pavilions, towers, bridges and streams in the garden, or the brightly blooming flower trees and Penjing, through the flower windows, those beautiful scenes seem to be framed with the exquisite "painting frames", becoming a series of graceful garden paintings.

Especially in spring, the beauty of the flower windows is brought to the extreme.

Looking out from the flower windows in the garden, the shadows of the flowers are faintly visible, contrasting with the simple and elegant window grid patterns.

Using windows as frames and flowers as scenes, the most romantic and moving spring colours of Suzhou are painted.
