Not far from Precious Light Temple, this
park used to be the residence of a Ming
Dynasty scholar by the name of Yang
Sheng’an (1488-1559). The lake here is
surrounded by osmanthus trees with a
huge expense of lotuses on the water.
The perfume of the lotus blossoms in
summer is followed by the sweet smell of
the osmanthus flowers in autumn. With
palaces, pavilions, and terraces
scattered among green trees by the
lakeside, the park is a charming place
to visit. |
