This octagonal pavilion is the largest in Suzhou’s gardens. It’s named the Heavenly Spring Pavilion, which houses an ancient well in the center of its floor. The well was dug in the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368), and it is much older than the garden itself. The pavilion’s large size matches well with the surrounding open space.
The walkway alongside the hill side brook leads to the central section and passes the Millet Fragrance Hall. |
