Orchid Pavilion

Shaoxing · Selected attraction

Orchid Pavilion

The Orchid Pavilion is inseparable from Wang Xizhi and the 'Preface to the Poems Collected from the Orchid Pavilion', set among bamboo, winding water and calligraphic stonework.

Why it matters

Orchid Pavilion

The Orchid Pavilion is one of the most important sites in Chinese calligraphy through Wang Xizhi and the 'Lanting Xu'. Winding water, the Goose Pond, historic stelae and the calligraphy museum connect event, landscape and written art.
