Baixiangwan Eco-Tour Scenic Area

Bai Xiang Wan,A Delightful Hilly Village Where One Can Practice Diaphragmatic Breathing

Mystic Eden,Delightful Bai Xiang Wan

Delightful Eco-Garden of Bai Xiang Wan lies to the north of gourmet mutton street of Cangshu in the western environs of Suzhou. Set gainst the Heavenly Pool Hill on the north, it borders the old township of Mudu on the east and boasts a tranquil,crystalline lake and surrounding hills covered with luxuriant vegetation which has resulted in the formation of an ecological niche amongst the bustling urban areas, and a blissful "Utopia" by the side of Lake Tai.

The legend goes that in remote antiquity the spirit of eel from Lake Tai brought calamities to the region and the people, and Samantabhadra Bodhi-sattva ordered the immortal white elephant with six curved ivory tusks to descend from heaven to wipe out the spirit of eel and do good for the people, and then turned it into a hill watching over the place. Hence the name White Elephant Bay or Bai Xiang Wan in Chinese. In the light of Buddhism the scenic splendors of Bai Xiang Wan possess Zen Buddhist connotations. In spring hundreds of aromatic flowers fascinate the viewer. In summer cicadas chirp shrilly and happily by the stream. In autumn the pure expanse of the lake reflects the bright moon at night. In winder serenity reigns everywhere in the snow-capped forest.Passing through the Gate of Good Luck, one can experience flourishing agricultural civilization, sit quietly by the Quietist Lake,walk hand in hand with the beloved through the Love Dale, play games and gain excitements amid twittering birds and fragrant flowers through the Challenging Way, the Elevated Passage and The Fancy House, and merrily watch interesting performances by star animals headed by the elephant.

   Let's get away from urban hustle and bustle, follow the three treasures of the auspicious elephant, step into delightful Bai Xiang Wan, give free play to the soul, understand and enjoy life amongst the natural scenery of the lake and hills.
