Step away from the bustling in the center of the millennia-old town of Suzhou and you’ll find a wholly secluded pocket garden that houses an incredibly well-preserved set of (nearly) mirror-image pagodas.
Like most pagodas in China, you won’t be able to enter or climb the many floors. The state of semi-abandonment means that both towers, though brightly painted, are beginning to sprout a multitude of plants from their tiled roofs.
