Black Bamboo Park: thather hut

One third occupied by the waters，Black Bamboo Park has gained a great reputation for its beauty with its picturesque landscape of hills, lakes and bamboo trees.

So I decided to explore the park this morning to see the beautiful lake and bamboo.

After entering the southwest entrance, head northward. The first sight you will likely see is Fuyin Zizhuyuan, developed during the Qing dynasty and the predecessor to the current Black Bamboo Park.

From Fuyin Zizhuyuan, walk east to reach my favorite spot, called "Crossing the Sea on an Eastern Expedition." There you will find a Chinese Chess board, with stone sculptures of the Chinese chess equivalent of King, Rook, and Pawn.

Continue east to find the park's major attraction: Graceful Bamboos.

Graceful Bamboos (Jiang Nan Zhu Yun) is the park's most famous scenic spot for its unique landscape of bamboos, brooks and stones. The garden features magnificent pines and bamboos, with stones of various shapes standing on craggy cliffs under which a small lake ripples in the gentle breeze. Go deep inside, and you will soon find yourself in an idyllic world where elegant bamboos cast their shade on the ground and bubbling brooks flow.

Continue east, and you will eventually find the park's eastern exit.
