The Pond of the Suriging Waves Pavilion
The Suriging Waves Pavilion, renowned for its peaceful scenery and simple architecture, is fine example showing how the natural landscape both inside and outside could be merged. Waving trees, bamboos and flowers in the garden add beauty and radiance to the rustic charm of mountain forests. The Shrine to 500 Men of Letters is main historical site in the garden, where tourists can find 594 portraits of Suzhou celebrities inscribed on stone tablets from the Spring and Autumn period to the Qing Dynasty. With a well-conceived layout, the entire garden exudes an air of classical sanctity, showing the excellent garden architectural art of the Song Dynasty.
