Idle for half a day | Enjoying the lotus at the Carved Flower Building

Suzhou's Dongshan Carved Flower Building, also known as Chun Zai Lou, is a scenic spot that combines Suzhou-style gardens with classical Chinese architecture. In the midsummer season, the lotus flowers in the garden bloom competitively, with the green lotus leaves and pink lotus flowers reflecting each other, adding a bit of vitality and vigor to this quaint top-scorer's mansion. The style of the top-scorer's mansion is very high, and the Carved Flower Building is the finishing touch of this mansion. It is three stories high, and each floor is carved with various flowers and plants, lifelike. What is even more astonishing is that inside the building, there are also carved group paintings of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the Twenty-Four Filial Exemplars. These exquisite carvings not only demonstrate the craftsmen's superb skills but also inherit the cultural essence of the Chinese nation.
