14. Ao Garden on Gulangyu Island The Nine-bending Forty-four Bridge is the major view of Shuzhuang Park. This over-one-hundred-meter-long bridge looks like a dragon moving through the water. On the bridge there are Watching Fishing Stand, Ferrying-to-the Moon Pavilion, One-thousand-wave Pavilion and so on. If you are strolling about or taking a rest on the bridge when it is at full tide, you might have a feeling of walking on the sea, coming up and down with the waves. On the Piled-up Rocks by the winding crossing-the-sea bridge are inscribed these words: "Vast Sea and Boundless Sky,'' and ''Resting the Head on the Currents,'' which are so beautifully written and so vividly blended with the surroundings that you would find them pleasing both to the eye and to the mind. ⇦ Back to Page 13 On to Page 15 ⇨Hi-Res Pic (198K) Return to Lujiang Page 2 |
