The Blue Wave Pavilion (Canglangting) is one of Suzhou's most famous and classic gardens. The use of space and combinations of water, rock and plants here, epitomize the art of Suzhou gardening.

The Blue Wave Pavilion is the oldest garden in Suzhou, originally built in the Tang Dynasty. Winding streams, beautiful trees and fragrant lotus blossoms are all framed between white walls and gray walkways make this garden quite unforgettable.

The garden is rather small and if you plan to enjoy Canglangting's quiet and elegant side, make sure you go at a quiet time. Winter is Suzhou's off season, while Spring and Summer are the busiest. Visiting this garden in the morning may also keep crowds to a minimum.

Open:8am to 5pm daily.
How to get Blue Wave Pavilion : The garden is situated on a small road not far from Renmin Lu in the south area of the city (southwest of the Garden of Master of the Nets).
