Not only one of the four most renowned Suzhou gardens, Canglangting is also the oldest existing garden in the city and a model of Song-dynasty gardens. It was first constructed in the 10th century, and Su Shunqin, a poet of the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127), gave it this name, meaning Surging Wave Pavilion.

Breaking away from the traditional style of encircling tall walls, its layout allows a combination of inside and outside natural landscape. Long corridor traces the bank of the pond right outside the garden. The rocks, winding corridors and flowery walls are the three characteristic features of Canglang Pavilion.
