During the Tang Dynasty (618-907), a famous monk named Hanshan stayed in the temple, which was later renamed by his name. The temple was once one of the 10 most famous temples in China. Zhang Ji, a famous Tang-dynasty poet, wrote the poem “A Night Mooring by Maple Bridge,” which, consequently, made the temple even more popular nationwide.

That is also the supreme technique on the lay out of gardening. The rockeries in Little Pangu Garden stand majestically and precipitously, and they were once called Nine Lion Painting Mount. It is said that when it snows heavily, the painting of the nine lions would appear vividly while when it is fine the picture is not clear.

Walking out of the cave, stepping on yuelue, and passing by the stone wall, you will fully experience the romance of staying in the open nature. According to gardening experts, large gardens are suitable for recreation by taking activities while smaller ones are good for scenery appreciation.

It is made by superimposing waterfall, steep cliffs and exotic stones. More than two hundred years ago, Yuwan is merely an island which extends from the ranges of Yuntai Mountain to the sea. Sometimes there are fishing boats riding at anchor there. In the “Records of the Yuntai Mountain” of the Ming Dynasty, “Yuwan Dragon Pool” is the view that draws water among the thirty six sceneries of Yuntain Mountain. It is seldom explored due to steep and dangerous paths. The tour of Yuwan follows the magistral line of “three pools, one cave and three puddles”, namely, Three Dragons Pool, Two Dragons Pool, Old Dragon Pool, Hidden Dragon Pool, Green Water Puddle, Clear Water Puddle and Yellow Water Puddle. Of them, the Old Dragon Pool has the most charming appearance. The waterfall has a drop of more than 40 meters, which is at the elbow of tourists when they arrive there.

The lake of the Li Garden ripples gently and green hills stand in the distance. Long corridors, embankment, arbors, pavilions in the garden are all exquisitely engraved with elegant and colored drawing. When lounging around the garden especially in spring, you will have a tender love for it.
The present Li Garden is divided into four tourist and sightseeing area, namely, artificial hills covered with green vegetation, spring morning on the south embankment, long corridor with a collection of sightseeing scenes, and layers of waves with double images.
In the “artificial hilled covered with green vegetation’s”, there are boundless spring sceneries in the Sifang Pavilion; the path winds beside the water pavilion; take the lotus boat and you will “keep withering lotus and listen to the rain”; paying a visit to the fish bond can also make you “jump through the dragon gate and get the breaks”; the variation of Yiren Rock and the luxuriant woods and trimmed bamboos of Guiyun Peak will make you feel as if traveling in the universe.
The long corridor of one-thousand steps in the “long corridor with a collection of sightseeing scenes” heaves high and low with zigzags. It is deep and shifty with rich gradation as if picture scrolls of “mountain rays shining on the threshold and water surrounding the corridor”. The landscape in the long corridor is also quite varied from the doors and windows with the exquisite engravings to water platform with red flowers and green trees, all revealing the charm and gentleness of the Li Garden.
As the “layers of waves with double images” shows, it is the best spot to appreciate water in the garden. Ban Pavilion, Lvyi Pavilion, Chunqiu Pavilion and Shuimiao Pavilion, etc all center on water and demonstrate the graceful flavor of the lake water in the Li Garden at different levels. In the area of “spring morning on the south embankment”, you can have a thorough appreciation of the spring scenery and smell the fragrance of flowers carefully. The Sifang Pavilion in the area can be called “of unique ingenuity” as the four identical pavilions built around the waters show the beautiful sight of the Li Garden with the construction form of “not fearing conformity but leaping out of conformity”. Different seasonal flowers and trees are planted according to the color of flowers and seasons around every pavilion. The spring pavilion of “Yihong” is planted with plum trees, the summer pavilion of “Dicui” planted with dogbanes, the autumn pavilion of “Zuihuang” planted with sweet-scented osmanthus, and the winter pavilion of “Yinba” planted with calyx canthus. Standing in one of the pavilions, you will see the other three ones, which can be called “four seasons overlapping with boundless beauty”
