-- The Huaixiang Garden

    shaanxi.jpg (13898 bytes)¡°Huaixiang¡± is homophonous to ¡°nostalgia¡± in Chinese. This garden is 1,176 square m. in size, with the ¡°rhinoceros looking at the moon¡± as the main creation. While the white pagoda on the Wutai Mountains stands for Buddhist culture, the shadow wall in the Qiao Courtyard, the well frame in Xinghua Village and the locust trees are indications of the Yellow River culture. These 2 cultures are combined with each other by the ¡°Yushaofeiliang¡± into an organic entity with Shanxi characteristics.
