The picture taken on December 10, 2007 shows a fog-enveloped canal in Shantang area of Suzhou, East China's Jiangsu Province. The fame of Shantang dates back to 825 AD, when renowned statesman and poet Bai Juyi during the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD) launched a 3,600-meter long embankment project in the area. Since then, the area has become home to many temples, guild houses, gardens and bridges, making the area a historical corridor of Suzhou. (Xinhua) |
