Central Courtyard

The central courtyard features a traditional classical garden layout of "one pond and three mountains" along with exquisite ancient architecture, water town charm, pavilions by the mountains and lakes, creating a robust, expansive, and grand atmosphere. This makes the Panmen Scenic Area embody both the ancient and weathered historical sense of Suzhou and the bold, bright modern vibe, allowing visitors to constantly feel the profound cultural and historical heritage of Suzhou Wu culture during their leisure time. The scenic area has also added 30,000 square meters of landscaping and greenery, and a large ecological parking lot has been newly constructed, making the overall planning of the scenic area more reasonable and complete. In the future, the Panmen Scenic Area will become a dazzling pearl on Suzhou's urban green belt, welcoming the world's attention as a representative of Suzhou's "three ancient and one lake." The central courtyard is an ideal venue for medium to large indoor business activities in the ancient urban area of Suzhou, with the largest event being the 2001 8th APEC Finance Ministers' Informal Meeting.
