The Ruiguang Pagoda (Ruiguang Ta) was built in 247 CE and is the oldest pagoda in Suzhou.
Suzhou; the city of canals and gardens; was called the 鈥榁enice of the East' by Marco Polo. An ancient Chinese proverb states: 鈥業n Heaven there is Paradise; on Earth there is Suzhou'.
The city's love affair with gardens dates back 2;500 years and continues still. At the time of the Ming dynasty (1368-1644) there were 250 gardens; of which about a hundred survive; although only a few are open to the public. Pictures From Asia David Henley
