Seeking Melodies in Spoon Garden

✅At the Nanhu Hotel (near Wuxiang Temple) in Jiaxing, there is a place full of poetry and picturesque scenery, where the elegant Jiangnan gardens and the simple Hao Gut Pagoda of Wuxiang Temple complement each other.

✔️Here is an introduction:
"Seeking Melodies in Spoon Garden". The Spoon Garden in this scenic spot was formerly located in the area of Nanhu Hotel and Wuxiang Temple. In the past, it was a famous garden in Jiangnan. What made Spoon Garden famous was the love story between Liu Rushi, a talented woman from Jiangnan, and Qian Qianyi, a gentleman from Yushan. A melodious tune from The Peony Pavilion stirred up their lingering love. This May-December romance was passed down as a good story among the literati in the late Ming Dynasty.
