Lianchi Zen Temple: It was first built in the first year of Longxing in the Southern Song Dynasty (1163). It was built by Emperor Xiaozong of the Southern Song Dynasty for Concubine Chen who died of illness. It took 40 years to complete.
There are still the remains of Concubine Chen's water tomb from the Southern Song Dynasty, the Wenchang Ancient Pavilion built in the 38th year of Qianlong's reign in the Qing Dynasty, and the Podocarpus pine planted by Emperor Xiaozong of the Song Dynasty. Chen Fei's Water Tomb is a small island with a small pavilion and archway built on it. No matter how high the water level of the lake is, it is always above the water.
Stroll through the small bridges and waterside pavilions in the ancient town and feel the rare tranquility and comfort...
This is also the reason why I like Suzhou[Cute]
