   AttractionAfternoon
   Make Humble Administrator's Garden the main garden

   It is the strongest nearby classical garden anchor after the museum.

   Give this garden priority instead of trying to visit every garden.

   Optional Lion Grove Garden add-on

   It adds rockery texture but can overload a one-day route.

   Use it only if tickets, energy and time are still comfortable.
