Snow Fragrance Abundant Clouds Pavilion

    This is a rectangular pavilion, which is built on the top of the highest hillock in the garden. Looking southward beyond the lotus pond, traveler can catch a glimpse of the main building of the garden, named the Distant Fragrance Hall.
    The tablet hung under the roof has six characters that read “Amidst mountain flowers and wild birds.”
    Hung on two pillars of the pavilion is a pair of couplets written by Wen Zhengming, which reads:“The shrilling of cicadas makes the forest more peaceful; The twittering of birds brings the hills more tranquility.”
    Wen Zhengming designed this garden. He was one of the four famous painters in the sixteen century, who organized the Suzhou Painting School. This Suzhou style Painting School is still active now.
