About Fangta Garden
Fangta Garden, laid out in 1978 over 12.13 hectares, was once the heart of the ancient Huating area under the Tang and Song dynasties. It now shows eight protected cultural relics, centred on the Song dynasty Square Pagoda, one of the best-preserved ancient pagodas in China. In its south-east corner, in a bamboo grove, the thatched He Lou Xuan teahouse is surrounded by water.
