苏州碑刻博物馆

分类: 苏州攻略
Founded in 514 BC, Suzhou has over 2500 years of history, with an abundant display of relics and sites of historical interest. The most impressive is that its layout has never been changed since it was built 2500+ years ago. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, Suzhou was a national economic, cultural, and commercial center, as well as the largest non-capital city in the world, until the 1860 Taiping Rebellion.

Suzhou Museum of Inscribed Stone Tablet/苏州碑刻博物馆 is a must-see attraction to explore Suzhou history. Almost 1000 years ago, Mr. Fan Zhongyan as Suzhou mayor decided to transform his private ancestral house into the public educational institute in Song Dynasty because poeple thought the place had good geomancy in the form of Feng Shui.
