There is a picturesque Tinglin Park in Kunshan City

Tinglin Park, the oldest garden in Kunshan, Jiangsu, is known as the 'best beautiful mountain in Jiangdong'. It was built in 1906, originally named Ma'anshan Park, and has a history of more than a hundred years. In 1936, it was renamed Tinglin Park in memory of Gu Yanwu, a thinker in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Tinglin Park covers more than 850 acres and is located at No. 1, Ma'anshan East Road, Kunshan. Inside the park, the scenery is picturesque and the scenery is simple and elegant. There are Tinglin Sir (Gu Yanwu) Memorial Hall, Kunqu Museum, and famous scenic spots such as Suiyuan, Yinghua Pavilion, and Cuiwei Pavilion. Walking into Tinglin Park, there are many tourists. Fitness, garden tours, playing music and singing, it's lively. After all, it's an old garden, but you can see old trees and ancient woods everywhere. There is an ancient ginkgo tree on the southern foot of Yufeng in the park. It is said that it has been a thousand years old and is still growing vigorously. Tinglin Park also has three treasures: Kunshi, Qionghua, and Bindi Lotus. Kunshi, unique to Tinglin Park, Yufeng Mountain in Tinglin Park is the original treasure of Kunshi. Kunshi, also known as Linglong Stone. Its natural multi-porous, color white as snow, yellow like jade, crystal clear, no shape, mostly a foot or so. It is reported that Kunshi has been mined for nearly a thousand years and has always been regarded as a good appreciation of art. Qionghua, also known as Jubaixian, is mainly distributed in the south of the Yangtze River. The largest Qionghua in Tinglin Park is more than four meters high. The plant nameplate shows that it has a history of more than 360 years. Such an ancient and rare thing is rare in the south of the Yangtze River and even in the whole country. In Tinglin Park, there are also two special Qionghua gardens for tourists to enjoy. It is said that there is also an ancient Qionghua in the Slender West Lake Park in Yangzhou, which was planted by the host Dao Hong Chan in the Kangxi period (1709), but its age and scale cannot be compared with the ancient Qionghua in Tinglin Park. Bindi Lotus, on the east side of the park, in front of the Kunshi Museum, there is a square lotus pond of hundreds of square meters. The Bindi Lotus in this lotus pond was originally planted in Zhengyi Ancient Town, more than ten kilometers southwest of Tinglin Park, and was privately owned by Gu Aiying, a poet in the late Yuan Dynasty. It was planted in its Dongting, also known as Dongting Lotus. In the 1950s, it was moved from Dongting, Zhengyi Town to the lotus pond in Tinglin Park. Kunshan Bindi Lotus was also transplanted to famous gardens in the south of the Yangtze River such as Suzhou Humble Administrator's Garden and Hangzhou West Lake.
