Suzhou

Hanshan Temple or Cold Mountain Temple

枫 桥 夜 泊
(唐) 张 继

月落乌啼霜满天
江枫渔火对愁眠
姑苏城外寒山寺
夜半钟声到客船

A Boat Moored By The Maple Bridge At Night
By Zhang Ji (Tang period)

Crows are cawing when the moon is descending with frost all over the sky
Maples by the river and illumination from the fishing boat, light sleeping in angst
Beyond Suzhou is the Cold Mountain Temple
Bell tolling at mid-night reaches the passenger boat


Shantang Street Scenic Zone



Confucius Temple
