[edit] Description
The Garden of the Canglangting Pavilion, also situated in the south of the city, is one of the oldest in China. Even in the middle of the 10th C it surrounded a general's villa. A century later a famous poet bought the villa and had a pavilion built in the garden. He gave it the poetic name Pavilion of the Azure Waves. Between the 13th and 14th centuries the estate served as a Buddhist monastery; during the Ming dynasty (1368-1644) it reverted to private ownership. Owing to Buddhist influence the two-acre garden offers some features of special interest which distinguish it from other gardens in the city.
