Qingpu Qu Shui Garden

In the 49th year of Qianlong (1784 AD), the land was expanded, the pond was built, the embankment was piled up, and the pavilions were added. After more than forty years, twenty-four scenes and more than thirty temples were built in the garden. Every stone, water, pavilion, and tower in the garden is interesting. In the third year of Jiaqing (1798 AD), the garden was renamed Qu Shui Garden. Because the garden is next to Dayingpu, it takes the meaning of 'Qu Shui Liu Shang' from Wang Xizhi's 'Lanting Ji Xu'. It was destroyed by artillery fire during the Xianfeng period. During the Guangxu period, it took 20 years to repair the temple and garden, and added a life-saving pond and Flower God Hall. In 1927, a rockery was added, and a nine-peak viewing pavilion was built on the mountain, where you can climb and overlook the nine peaks of Song County.
