What travelers say:
Changshu Fangta is a historic attraction. It is worth a visit. First of all, it is located in the center of Changshu city, and it can be reached in a short walk. Secondly, the historical significance of the Fangta is very important. The tower was built in the Southern Song Dynasty and has witnessed the development and changes of Changshu City after the vicissitudes. The inscriptions and carving patterns in the tower also reflect the historical and cultural background of the time, which is very helpful for understanding the history and culture of Changshu City. Again, the landscape of the Fangta is very beautiful and the view is wide. Now the celebrity hall and tea house have been rebuilt. You can also enjoy various trees and flowers in different shapes. The rockery pavilion is exquisite and transparent, and the winding path is quiet. In addition, the Fangta is now free of tickets. Overall, Changshu Fangta is a very worth visiting attraction. It not only has a long history and cultural heritage, but also the beautiful landscape will definitely make you linger.

Fang Tower Park Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Fang Tower Park stands 80 meters away from the north of the busy Fangta Street, Changsu. It is an antique garden built based on the historical site of Chongjiao Xingfu Temple dated back in the Song Dynasty, sharing resemblance with the Suzhou Garden in style. Though the ancient temple was destroyed, the Fang Tower built in the 4th year of Jian Yan period of the Southern Song Dynasty (A.D. 1130) remains. Fang Tower has been renovated for several times. It is a landmark of Changshu. Fang Tower Park is named after Fang Tower. The scenery in the park is appealing, and observing fishes in Zuiwei Pool in the west of the park is also one of the favorites of visitors.

Chongjiao Xingfu Temple Pagoda (Fangta Garden)Chongjiao Xingfu Temple Pagoda, originally named Chongjiao Treasure Pagoda, is commonly known as Fangta. It was built in the fourth year of Jianyan during the Southern Song Dynasty (1130), located at No. 7-0, Tahou Street, Changshu City, Suzhou, Jiangsu Province. Chongjiao Xingfu Temple Pagoda is a nine-story, four-sided wooden eaves tower-style brick pagoda with a helmet-shaped top, with a total height of 67.58 meters. The wooden components and the style of the pagoda body still retain the architectural style and construction characteristics of the Song Dynasty. Chongjiao Xingfu Temple Pagoda provides a transitional example for revealing the evolution and development of the ancient building's corner beam structure in the Jiangnan region, which is a process from a gentle upward curvature gradually developing into a high and towering one. On May 25, 2006, Chongjiao Xingfu Temple Pagoda was announced by the State Council of the People's Republic of China as the sixth batch of National Key Cultural Relics Protection Units.

Fang Tower Garden, the landmark of ChangshuChangshu has Zeng Zhao Garden, Yan Garden, and Fang Tower Garden, all of which are typical scenic views of gardens in the south of the Yangtze River. Although they are all gardens, there are some differences, and I think the most magnificent is Fang Tower Garden. Especially its pavilions, terraces, and corridors are winding and varied. Fang Tower Garden is a classical garden newly built on the site of ancient relics from the Song Dynasty, named after the square tower in the garden. The full name of the square tower is "Chongjiao Xingfu Temple Tower", which has four sides and nine levels, and is a symbolic building of the ancient city of Changshu, built during the Southern Song Dynasty. The square tower, along with the ancient well and ginkgo from the Song Dynasty, are known as the 'Three Treasures in the Garden'. The architecture of Fang Tower Garden is all in imitation of the Song Dynasty style, which is not only splendid and magnificent, with the charm of a royal garden, but also adopts the winding and varied techniques of gardens in the south of the Yangtze River, with the complementing features of curved bridges, pavilions, verandas, water pavilions, rocks, and plants.JERRY ARNOLD
Moat Cherry BlossomsThe cherry blossoms along the Changshu moat generally reach their peak bloom from late March to early April. Clusters of cherry blossoms set against small bridges, flowing water, white walls with black tiles, and ancient city towers create a picturesque scene. It is one of the must-visit 'ritualistic' cherry blossom viewing spots for many Changshu residents in spring. On March 25, 2024, the Moat Cherry Blossom Festival will open, offering not only the chance to appreciate the cherry blossoms but also a variety of exciting activities such as quiz games with prizes, Hanfu performances, and traditional Chinese makeup sessions.JACKSON MOSS
The flowers at Fangta Garden in Changshu, Jiangsu have bloomedChangshu Fangta Garden The pure white magnolias of Fangta Garden set against the towering ancient pagoda create an ancient charm, making it exceptionally dignified and elegant. The magnolias here bloom the earliest and most luxuriantly. There are several magnolia trees in Fangta Garden, and the most beautiful one is located in a quaint little courtyard, with large blossoms of white magnolias layered upon each other, blooming vibrantly. The tall trees with their branches spread out, the flowers piling up like snow, and the jade trees shimmering like crystal, all set against the backdrop of the ancient Yu City Pagoda, adding a gentle and tranquil beauty to its simplicity and solemnity. The drooping branches of the flowers complement the pink walls and black tiles, full of charm. As the spring breeze blows, petals of magnolia flowers fall with the wind, creating a truly romantic and enchanting sight.

It was raining in the afternoon, and the outdoor activities were not going to happen. Don't worry, I have already arranged the "Tianbei skills". I suddenly wondered what was "Tuobei skills"? When I arrived at the Changshu Fangta Garden, under the step-by-step operation of the staff, I seemed to understand what I was going to do next. Take a monumental skill is a very traditional handicraft. It is first applied on the surface of the monument with rice paper, and it is flattened and dried with a brush. Then use the toppings and ink to slowly beat the stone tablets, and gradually the patterns and words will be revealed. I am going to start, first rub a few on my face, haha. "Tuobei skills" can not be too heavy every time, the process of ink-printing printing needs 5 to 6 times, each time interval, it takes half a day to do it, let me quiet, I am making "prajna paramita" More than heart. I won't tell you, you are what I did, it seems to be ok, it took a long time. [Travel Tips]: "Television Skills" needs to make an appointment one day in advance, and then the finished products that you can do can be taken away. [Address]: Huancheng East Road is close to Xinyan Bridge [cost]: 20 yuanwuqiuhuang.

The square tower garden is not large in size, and the typical Jiangnan garden scenery is in full bloom, which attracts tourists to visit. It's just that the square tower is being repaired and can't get a glimpse of the whole picture!
I didn't expect the scenery to be so beautiful, it was completely overjoyed! Spring flowers, and the rich design of the courtyard, quiet and dynamic combination, people sigh, spring is really beautiful, it is highly recommended to come and walk.
The garden is not big, very historical, ancient towers, ancient trees, ancient wells, it is worth seeing, the scenery is not bad.
Changshu famous attractions, rich in cultural heritage, just the hydrangea blooming beautifully
It is more suitable for visiting the garden on rainy days, very feeling
I thought that the Fangta Garden was just a tower, next to the pedestrian street. In fact, the Fangta Garden is very large, in addition to the beautiful scenery, there are many things to see inside. Changshu celebrities, Jinshi from all generations. Unearthed cultural relics, Changshu sages and so on. Go out and turn right diagonally opposite to the only pedestrian street in Changshu.
