The Tower Of The Swallow
Note: For reasons unknown, some of the translations have "Swallow" in its plural form in the title while the original, the Polish title is in singular form. Thus, the most correct translation would be "Tower of the Swallow" or "The Swallow's Tower". The mentioned swallow is a representation of a single person so it feels like a rather big error in translation. The error itself might be related to Polish language complexity; the word "Jaskółki" in itself is in a plural form, however in a phrase "Wieża Jaskółki" it is not, here it is in its 2nd (of 7) declination case.

Swallow Garden is located beside the Lushan Jinjiang Hotel in Changshu City, Suzhou. It was constructed in the Qianlong Emperor period of the Qing Dynasty approximately 300 years ago. At that time, the Fujian Taipeng observer and part-time political scholar Jiang Yuanshu encountered difficulties when crossing the sea. After his safe return to Changshu, he was struck by the idea of a swallow safely returning to its home, and thus named it the Swallow Garden. Swallow Garden is a classic garden with relatively intact preservation of its original form. There are lotus ponds in the eastern part along with the 72 Stone Monkeys rock face. The Wuzhi Pavilion is where the former owners of the garden would welcome friends and relatives to their home. In front of the Wuzhi Pavilion is the Yangu rock face, which was created by the famous designer Ge Yuliang and is much admired by gardeners.
The Chongjiao Xingfu Temple Pagoda is located in the square tower garden of Dadongmen, the ancient city of Changshu City. The Chongjiao Xingfu Temple Pagoda was built based on Feng Shui theory and is one of the early Chinese Feng Shui Pagodas. Although the Pagoda was built in the Song Dynasty, it still follows the shape of the square pavilion-style wooden pagoda in the Tang Dynasty. Examples are rare physical examples of ancient architecture. The square tower of the Song Dynasty standing in the ancient city is a landmark building in the historical and cultural city of Changshu, and it is also a relatively well-preserved Song tower in Jiangsu Province. 041b061a72
