Geng Le Tang was built by Zhu Xiang, a recluse in the Ming Dynasty. It is a typical residence of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Geng Le Tang has a front residence and a back yard. There are currently three entrances and forty-one rooms, including gardens, studios, pavilions and gazebos. In the garden, there are lotus ponds, mandarin duck halls, Huanxiu Pavilion, Osmanthus Hall, etc. The whole courtyard is exquisitely conceived and close to nature, fully demonstrating the characteristics of families in the water towns of the south of the Yangtze River. There is also a root carving museum in the residence, which has many small and medium-sized fine root carvings. It is divided into three halls: natural style hall, various Buddha statue halls, and animal halls. In the root carving hall downstairs, the large root carving ‘Strange Corals in the South China Sea’ is in the center. Sitting in the middle is the laughing Maitreya, 2.7 meters high and 3.4 meters wide. The Buddha’s light shines everywhere. With a smile on his face, he holds an ingot in his left hand and is full of joy.
Opening hours: Open all year round from 08:00 to 17:00. The specific business status is subject to the opening situation on that day.Geng Le Tang
