Humble Administrator's Garden

11. Garden Waterway

Crossing a winding bridge at the northeast corner of the building and following a small path eastward, the visitor comes to Lu Yi Ting (Green Ripples Pavilion). Turning southward, the long corridor brings one to Wuzhu Youju (Secluded House of Bamboo). Moon gates on all four sides of this pavilion provide frames for some exquisite scenery. Grossing a flat bridge to the northwest, one sees Dai Shuang Ting (Waiting-for-the-Frost Pavilion) perched on the East Hills. Then, southwest across a small bridge with stone banisters, one comes to Xiu Qi Ting (Embroidered Silk Pavilion) in the shade of ancient trees on the small hills east of Distant Fragrance Hall. South of it is Pipa Yuan (Loquat Garden).
