Snap' Description
Wander through the tranquil, poetic lines of Suzhou's senior classical sanctuary at the Canglang Pavilion. Established nearly 1,000 years ago during the Song Dynasty, this elite UNESCO World Heritage site is unique because it deliberately forces its central rock mountain landscapes outside the main walls to border a rushing public river canal, utilizing a magnificent double-sided open corridor grid.
