Introduction of scenic spots

Lion Grove is one of the four famous gardens in Suzhou, with a history of more than 650 years, and it is the representative of gardens in Yuan Dynasty. No.23 Huayuan Road, located in the northeast corner of Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province, is a rectangle slightly wider from east to west, with an area of 1. 1 hectare and an open area of 0.88 hectares. 1982 was designated as a cultural relic protection unit in Jiangsu province. There are rockeries all over the park, surrounded by long corridors, towers looming, winding paths leading to a secluded place, and there is always a feeling of confusion. The wall of the corridor is embedded with calligraphy plaques of four famous Song Dynasty artists, Su Shi, Mi Fei, Huang Tingjian and Cai Xiang, and inscriptions of plum blossom poems by Wen Tianxiang in the Southern Song Dynasty.

It is mountainous in the southeast and watery in the northwest, surrounded by high walls and deep houses and winding corridors. With the pool in the middle as the center, the buildings are stacked on top of each other, with flowers and trees, small bridges and flowing water, pavilions and pavilions, making the whole park compact and full of artistic conception. Lion Forest has not only pavilions, terraces, buildings, pavilions, halls and corridors of Suzhou classical gardens, but also is famous for its grotesque rocks and deep caves, and is known as the "rockery kingdom". There are many rockeries in the Lion Forest, which are exquisitely carved, with lakes and mountains, staggered caves and valleys and twists and turns, and are called "Eighteen Scenes of Taoyuan". There are many strange peaks and rocks at the top of the cave, all of which are like lions dancing. There are many famous peaks, such as Hu Hui, Tuyue, Yuxuan and Angxia, among which Lion Peak is the first. Yanyutang is the main building of the park.

Because there are many bamboos in the garden, there are many strange stones under them, which are like lions, and because the sky is like a Zen master, we can learn from the Lion Mountain in Tianmu Mountain, Zhejiang Province. In order to commemorate the relationship between Buddhism and mentoring, it was named "Lion Forest" and "Lion Forest" after taking the meaning of Leo in Buddhist scriptures. It is also named because there is a "lion roar" in Buddhist books ("lion roar" refers to the scriptures taught by the Zen master, and many rockeries look like lions. However, he once wrote the poem "Fourteen Scenes of Lion Grove", which described the scenery and life scenes at that time. After the completion of the park, many poets and painters came here to participate in meditation, and their poems and paintings were included in the Collection of Records of the Lion Forest.
