Step into Dongpo Garden where poetry comes alive! This Song-dynasty style landscape pays homage to Su Dongpo, the legendary poet whose verses echo through willow-framed pavilions and moon gates. Drift on lotus-dotted ponds imagining his Red Cliff Ode, then follow stone paths past bamboo groves that whisper his verses. Don't miss climbing to the Tipsy Ink Pavilion at dusk – when golden light bathes the zigzag bridges, you'll understand why he wrote 'the world's true flavor is serene joy'.
