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.
