Nantong: 12 July 08 - Day 7

拙政园
The most famous garden in Suzhou which built in Ming Dynasty (1509 A.D). In 1997, it was inscribed on the World Heritage List.
I love the lotus in the garden. Guess who was this guy? He was 唐伯虎.
寒山寺
Know 寒山寺 from the poem below when I was in primary school.

枫桥夜泊 作者张继. 唐

月落乌啼霜满天,
江枫渔火对愁眠。
姑苏城外寒山寺,
夜半钟声到客船。


This poem is very beautiful which made me wanted to visit 寒山寺 and 枫桥 so badly. I had a lot of fancy imaginations of 寒山寺 and 枫桥. However, after saw them today, I was a bit disappointed because 寒山寺 is not on a mountain and 枫桥 is too small and normal.
