Lotus Pavilion

    The Lotus Pavilion is built both partially on water and partially on land. In the distance over numerous green lotus leaves is zigzag stone bridge with low balustrades, which is a typical Ming Dynasty style bridge. From this pavilion visitors can obtain a fine view of the lotus pond reaching around a huge hill crowned with a gazebo in the northwest.
    It is particularly scenic spot for appreciating lotus flowers in summer. This garden has a vast amount of water surface. That is why lotus grows abundantly. Many classical buildings in the garden are named after the lotus plant or regarded as the best spots to view lotuses. Among them are the Drifting Fragrance Hall, Lotus Breeze Pavilion, Fragrant Islet, Lotus root Fragrance Waterside Studio and Stay and Listen Parlour.
    Since the mid 1990s, the garden has had annual festivals in summer. Shown in the garden are over 100 kinds of lotus such as the king lotus and the lotus grown in bowls to name a few.
