Canglang Pavilion
The Blue Wave Pavilion
(Canglangting) is one of Suzhou's
most famous and classic gardens. The
use of space and combinations of water,
rock and plants here, epitomize the
art of Suzhou gardening.
The Blue Wave Pavilion
is the oldest garden in Suzhou, originally
built in the Tang Dynasty. Winding
streams, beautiful trees and fragrant
lotus blossoms are all framed between
white walls and gray walkways make
this garden quite unforgettable.
The garden is rather small
and if you plan to enjoy Canglangting's
quiet and elegant side, make sure
you go at a quiet time. Winter is
Suzhou's off season, while Spring
and Summer are the busiest. Visiting
this garden in the morning may also
keep crowds to a minimum.
