Lihuawu (Pear Blossom Garden)

Lihuawu (Pear Blossom Garden) is located at Xinxi Village in the southwest
 of Baoshan City. It's locally called "the Big Pear Garden". In 1644,
Wang Hongzuo who was a local working as the vice minister of Revenue
Ministry in the Qing Dynasty sponsored to construct Lihuawu. Lihuawu
later underwent several renovations to include archaized architectures
 such as Guanyin (Goddess of Mercy) Hall, Puti (bodhi) Pavilion, Weituo
(Vedda) Hall, Lotus Pond, Dizang (Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha) Hall, Wensu
(Bodhisattva Manjusri) Pavilion and Jingang Pagoda etc. Additionally,
there are quite a few plaques and couplets inscribed by men of letters
in both ancient and modern times.  
Lihuawu is known for its serenity and pleasant sceneries. Its vegetarian
dishes enjoy a wide fame in Baoshan area and are always preferred by
 visitors.
