In the northeast part of town not far from the Humble Administrators Garden, Lion Grove is a man-made maze of caves, rockeries and pathways that dates back to the 13th century. It was built by a Buddhist monk to honor the memory of his late master.
The rocks are said to have come from the nearby Lake Tai and supposedly resemble lions sleeping, fighting and playing, hence the garden’s name, although you may need to stretch your imagination to envisage this.
