Ancient Lotus Pool, Heritage garden in Baoding, China
The Ancient Lotus Pool features two interconnected ponds spanning 24,000 square meters, with 7,900 square meters dedicated to water surfaces and lotus flowers.
Founded in 1227 during the Jin-Yuan Dynasty transition by Marshal Zhang Rou, the garden initially served as a private retreat for military commander Qiao Weizhong.
The inscription gallery contains stone carvings from Qing Dynasty emperors, while the Lianchi Academy, established in 1733, became a center of learning.
The site offers guided tours throughout its grounds, including viewings of classical pavilions, traditional bridges, and extensive gardens with ancient locust trees.
Archaeological excavations in 1962 revealed Tangut dharani pillars from the former Temple for Promoting Goodness, indicating the presence of Tangut Buddhist communities.
