Yue-Po Terrace

Yue-Po Terrace is a place to appreciate the moon. There is a pavilion in the double diamond shape called Shui-Xie, a kind of Chinese architecture. The pond is in the shape of a crabapple leaf with a bridge connecting to the water bank. The whole structure looks like a small boat that parks on the dock. Such design provides an infinitive imagination. The double diamond shape is called “Fang-Sheng” in Mandarin. It is a common pattern used in classical Chinese arts and crafts, as a symbol of everlasting.

On the right-hand side of the pavilion, there are winding stone stairs called “she-ji.” It means “climb up the stairs.” In the old times, people could access the platform by going up the stairs. The building functioned as a place where the young ladies of the Lin family went fishing. Outside the wall of this section lies a shallow pond. The piled stones along its bank are also marvelous. One of them was the monument of a ceremony during the Japanese colonialization period.
