City walk to see the past and present of the Ink Pool Park

✔️The thousand-year-old famous Ink Pool is the 'holy land' in the hearts of literati and ink guests of all dynasties. It is said that Wang Xizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty once served as the governor of Yongjia County, often writing here and washing his inkstone in this pool, hence it became the Ink Pool. ✔️The area around Ink Pool Park is full of narrow old alleys, which are difficult for vehicles to pass through. Walking is the most suitable, which requires tourists to ask questions all the way and seek seclusion all the way. ✔️Legend has it that Wang Xizhi once washed his inkstone here. Every spring, when tadpoles breed, people can see ink spots in the pool. Mi Fu, a great calligrapher of the Northern Song Dynasty, also came here in admiration and wrote the two characters 'Ink Pool' hanging above the pool. It is rare that two great calligraphers left ink for the same 'Ink Pool'. ✔️The current Ink Pool Park inherits the Chinese classical garden construction techniques, relying on the processing techniques of corridors, leaky windows, and door holes, creating a subtle, tortuous, and deep sense of space, inheriting the Chinese classical garden's aesthetic view of following nature and blending with nature, and reflecting the feeling of 'although it is made by man, it seems to be natural'. ✔️Walking around the artificial lake in the park, you can pass through the newly renovated Ouyin Garden, Hualu Mountain House, Zuijing Garden, Yujie Garden, Conglan Pavilion, etc., all of which continue the style of Wenzhou traditional houses. ✔️Although Ink Pool Park is not large, it is located in the inch-by-inch golden old city area of Wenzhou, and retains the footprints of two masters, Xie Lingyun and Wang Xizhi, and is opposite to the Dongou King Temple on the east, which is the best interpretation of the ancient city with a history of 1700 years. tips: 1. Transportation: Bus No. 1, 4, 43, 103, 109, 113, 115, etc. can all reach the Ink Pool Square Station 2. The park is free of charge and open 24 hours
