(COURTESY OF FLP)

Publisher: Foreign Languages Press

Year of publication: 2010

ISBN: 978-7-119-06168-9

Price: 96 yuan

Features:

Tongli is known as a museum of architecture of the Ming and Qing dynasties (1368-1911). Among the stunning structures there are the Fuji Hall, the Chongben Hall, the Old Residence of Ji Cheng, the Old Residence of Fei Gong and the Old Residence of Chen Qubing, all well preserved ancient houses.

The Tuisi Garden epitomizes garden architecture in southeast China. The "sky bridge" – a bridge that spans a corridor – and the stone boat are the garden's main attractions. Sitting in the stone boat, visitors can enjoy the green hills and crystal-clear water. On Luoxingzhou, an islet in the lake completely surrounded by water, there stands a tall pavilion from which you can look out over a vast expanse of water and mist. The Guandi Temple, the Hall of Guanyin and the Wenchang Pavilion represent the coexistence of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism in the garden.

Walking along Ming and Qing Street and then across the Three Bridges, you can wish for peace, luck and happiness, and it is believed your wishes will come true. In the Old Residence of Chen Wangdao, visitors listen to the music of local stringed instruments accompanying ancient love stories.
