The Blue Wave Pavilion located on Canglangting Street, China is a mesmerizing garden that has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The history behind this amazing Blue Wave Pavilion dates back to the year 1044, when it was built by the Song Dynasty poet Su Shunqing. It is known as one of the oldest UNESCO gardens in Suzhou that is well preserved. The story behind this garden is quite fascinating. During this particular period in history, a scholar named Su Shunqing was demoted and sent to Suzhou. He then purchased a garden and built a beautiful pavilion facing the waters.
The entrance to this garden is simply breathtaking and will transport visitors to an idyllic Eden. The picturesque scenery is enhanced by the presence of the lake, which adds a vibrant element of colour to the Blue Wave Pavilion. The garden at the site is divided into two sections. The eastern side resembles a natural hill while the western side of the garden showcases another hill that is created out of delicate stones. The whole garden is decorated with a gorgeous spread of bamboo trees, and the setting created in Blue Wave Pavilion offers the amazing sensation of walking in a pristine forest untouched by humanity or technology.
There are 108 lattice windows on the walls of the corridor that opens up to the panoramic view of the garden. The four-sided hall that is built facing the water is another significant feature of the garden. You could enjoy long walks in the garden and can relax in the hall with its tranquil surroundings. Or simply sit and watch the colourful fish that swim in the water. Inside the hall, you would encounter the most amazing pictures that once belonged to the scholar. So if you are heading to Suzhou do not miss to visit this iconic attraction that will truly enthral all visitors.
