9 Suzhou classical gardens selected as national parks

www.chinanews.cn 2007-02-26 09:12:08

Suzhou classical gardens are parts of China’s precious cultural heritage.

Chinanews, Suzhou, February 26 �C The Ministry of Construction has
released the names of the first batch of 20 national parks, including 9
Suzhou classical gardens: Zhuozheng Garden, Liu Garden, Wangshi Garden,
Huanxiu Villa, Lion Grove, Yipu Garden, Ou Garden, Tuisi Garden and
Canglang Pavilion.
National parks refer to the famous city parks and gardens. Suzhou
classical gardens are parts of China’s precious cultural heritage (all
the 9 gardens are on the list of World Cultural Heritage) as well as an
indispensable part of the life of Suzhouers, not to mention they are also
world-renowned tourism resorts. In fact, their unique historical and
cultural background serves to contribute to their ranking among national
parks.
The earliest classical gardens in Suzhou can be dated back to the Song
Dynasty (960-1279). However, the gardens impress their visitors not only
with their age-old history but also with their delicate scenes,
particularly Canglang Pavilion, Zhuozheng Garden, Lion Grove and Liu
Garden, the most famous 4 that represent different styles of dynasties of
Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing (960-1911).
In 1978, an imitation of a Suzhou classical garden was set up by Chen
Congzhou (the author of the book Suzhou Classical Gardens) in the
Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, US, which was the first time ever
to directly introduce Chinese ancient architecture to Westerners.

Zimbabwe will not be represented in any of the team sports at next year’s
Olympic Games after the national women’s hockey side ended the African
Zone qualifying tournament winless in Nairobi, Kenya, at the weekend, The
Herald reported on Tuesday.

The Zimbabwe women’s side found the going tough at the week-long
tournament where they only managed to score one goal and conceded 14 in
four matches against hosts Kenya, Namibia, South Africa and Ghana.

The women’s Olympic Games qualifying tournament was held simultaneously
with the men’s competition in Nairobi.

Zimbabwe were not represented in the men’s qualifiers after the Hockey
Association of Zimbabwe failed to raise enough money to send a team.

The Zimbabwe women’s team were only able to travel to Nairobi after they
received some financial assistance from the Olympic Solidarity through
the Zimbabwe Olympic Committee.

The failure by the team to make the grade at the Nairobi tournament will
leave Zimbabwe without a representative side in any of the team sports
during next year’s Olympic Games in Beijing.
