同为世界文化遗产的沧浪亭，虽说没有拙政园、留园和狮子林等园林知名和热门，但它却是苏州现存最悠久的古典园林，其文化价值和园林艺术丝毫不逊于其他园林。个人感觉最大特色主要有，一是从外面看，它是最有味道的古典园林，整座园林被一池清水包裹其中，园外与园内浑然一体，互为景观；二是古代有名的文楹非常多，比如沧浪亭上“清风明月本无价，近水远山皆有情”等；三是竹子种类非常丰富，应该是所有古典园林中各类竹子最多的园林了。

Canglang Pavion is also listed the world cultural herritage by UNISCO, even though it is not the same  famous as the Humble Administrator's Garden, Linging Garden and Lions Grove. What's more it was built in Northern Song Dynasty, which is also the oldest classical garden in Suzhou. I think it has some features as follows. First of all, it is the most beautiful garden from its appearance, because a clear pond in the front is around it. Outside and inside garden has the same beautiful views. Secondly, it has a lot of famous couplets inside. Thirdly, it has more different kinds of bamboos than others.
