China: Ruiguang Ta (Auspicious Light Pagoda), Pan Men Gate Park, Suzhou, Jiangsu Province

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 ‘Venice of the East’ by Marco Polo. An ancient Chinese proverb states: <i>‘In Heaven there is Paradise; on Earth there is Suzhou’</i>. 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.
