The Surging Wave Pavilion

Canglang Pavilion, Canglang Ting 沧浪亭

One of the oldest of Suzhou's wonderful collection of private or "scholar's" gardens. More densely forested than other gardens, so ideal for hot days when you want to escape the sun. This garden is best viewed from within its many pavilions, with windows framing different views.
