Fangta Garden
Fangta Garden is located at the eastern end of the ancient city of Changshu, adjacent to the busiest commercial street of the ancient city, Fangta Street. It is a newly built Song-style landscape garden on the site of Song Dynasty relics, covering an area of about 30,000 square meters and is now a national 4A-level tourist attraction.
Fangta Garden is named after the Fangta Pagoda. The pagoda, ancient well, and ancient ginkgo tree in the garden are collectively known as the "Three Treasures of Fangta." The pagoda, a landmark building of Changshu, was originally named "Chongjiao Xingfu Pagoda." It is a four-sided, nine-story, brick and wood structure with a square plan, commonly referred to as the "Fangta" (Square Pagoda). Construction began in the fourth year of the Jianyan era of the Southern Song Dynasty (1130 AD), over 890 years ago. It is one of the few remaining early examples of a Feng Shui pagoda in China. In 2006, it was listed as a national key cultural relics protection unit.
All the buildings in Fangta Garden are in the Song Dynasty style, with a splendid and grand appearance. The garden also borrows the view of the Song-style shops outside the garden, creating a magnificent and prosperous atmosphere reminiscent of the imperial gardens. At the same time, the garden fully employs various landscape techniques such as framing and opposing views, expressing the twists and turns, poetic charm, and picturesque beauty of the Jiangnan gardens through the arrangement of elements like curved bridges, pavilions, corridors, waterside gazebos, rocks, flowers, and trees. The entire scenic area is centered around the Southern Song Fangta Pagoda. In the northern part, the "Changshu Stele Museum" and "Changshu Celebrity Hall" are established, with more than 500 meters of stele corridors and Song, Ming, and Qing-style buildings such as "Chonglan Thatched Cottage," "Yayu Residence," and "Qingyuan Pavilion." The western part is the second phase of the Fangta development area, which was completed in 2002. It continues the Song-style landscape construction style of the previous scenic area and incorporates ecological concepts, making full use of plants for garden and landscape creation. The main buildings include "Wenhua Hall," "Yue Xiu Mountain House," and "Zuiwei Pavilion."
