What is Fang Hezhou in Nanhu, Jiaxing?

Fangzhou is located on the southwest lake of Chengnan Road, Jiaxing City, facing the ecological oasis of Southwest Lake across the lake. In Tang Dezong, Saint Lu Zhi built a house garden in Fanghezhou. Because there is a crane pavilion in the garden, it was named He Zhu. In Tang Wenzong, Prime Minister Pei Xiu built a villa on the mainland and renamed it Pei Island. In the Southern Song Dynasty, the famous poet Zhu Dunru once lived in Jiaxing, and Pei Island was built as Fanghezhou. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu, the magistrate of Guiyang, rebuilt Fangzhou. In the middle of Qing Dynasty, Fanghezhou gradually declined. In 2004, Fang Hezhou was rebuilt in Nanhu Scenic Area and became another important cultural and leisure attraction in Nanhu Scenic Area. The rebuilt Fanghezhou covers an area of about 52,000 square meters, of which the water area is 97 14 square meters. The scenic spot maintains natural landforms, surrounded by lakes, with meandering water in the middle and miscellaneous trees on the flat bank. The function is mainly to enjoy the scenery, supplemented by lotus ponds, ridge ponds, fish ponds, orchards and pavilions around the lake. The layout is built with the trend and strives for natural ecology. Danboju, Guiliguan and Jiafutang are the most important antique garden buildings in Fanghezhou at present, which embodies the style of Tang and Song Dynasties.
