Canglang Pavilion, Classical garden in Suzhou, China.

The Canglang Pavilion features a stone architecture with 108 windows, surrounded by a lotus pond formed by the Fengxi Stream branch.

The pavilion, established in 1044 by poet Su Shunqin during the Song Dynasty, occupies the location of a former imperial flower garden from 960 CE.

The name originates from Qu Yuan's poem 'Fishermen', representing the moral principles of maintaining integrity while distancing from political corruption.

The garden opens daily from 8:00 to 17:00, with entrance fees of 20 yuan from April to October and 15 yuan from November to April.

The Temple of 500 Sages, constructed in 1827, displays engravings of historical Chinese figures intended to educate local residents.
