The Orchid Pavilion, set in pleasing natural scenery with bamboo woods and winding streams, is situated 9 miles southwest of Shaoxing city, Zhejiang Province. A stele with inscription by Emperor Kangxi (reigned 1662-1723) is housed in the pavilion. Outside the pavilion a picturesque little lake extends some 30yd. In the center of this lake is a stone tablet with two ideograms which, roughly translated, mean “goose pond”. They are attributed to Wang Xizhi, the most accomplished calligraphy master, who in the year 335 of the Eastern Jin Dynasty wrote the famous “Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Poetry Collection”.

"Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Poetry Collection” is the most famous work of calligraphy by Wang Xizhi. Written in running-cursive script, it is the most well-known and wild-copied piece ever. It describes a gathering of 42 literati at the Orchid Pavilion during the Spring Purification Festival, the third day of the third lunar month, to compose poems and enjoy the wine. The gentlemen had engaged in a drinking contest: wine cups were floated down a small winding creek as the men sat along its banks; whenever a cup stopped, the man closest to the cup was required to empty it and write a poem. In the end, twenty-six of the participants composed thirty-seven poems.

The preface consists of 324 Chinese characters in 28 lines. The character zhi (之) appears 20 times, but no two look the same. It is also a celebrated work of literature, flowing rhythmically and giving rise to several Chinese idioms. It is a piece of improvisation, as can be seen from the revisions in the text. Its original work was greatly treasured by Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, but unfortunately got lost later in history. What people could see now are the copies made by calligraphers after Tang Dynasty.

The Orchid Pavilion is 13 kilometers away from the city center. During the Chunqiu dynasty, the king of Yue planted orchids here and later a pavillion was constructed here during the Han dynasty. Thus, there is a pretty simple explanation for the name of this popular tourist attraction today. The Orchid Pavilion is Shaoxing’s most famous landmark. Visitors have been making the journey to see the Orchid Pavillion for more than 1600 years. In 353 A.D., the noted calligrapher Wang Xizhi wrote some of his celebrated calligraphy here. Since then, the Orchid Pavilion has been known as a home of Calligraphy.

The main sights in the Orchid Pavilion are: the Goose Pool Stele, the Orchid Pavilion Stele, the Orchid Pavilion River, and the Calligraphy Museum. The Goose Pool Stele was created by the calligrapher Wang Xizhi and his son Wang Xianzhi. Wang Xizhi’s favourite animal was the goose, and the goose theme is prevalent throughout the Orchid Pavilion. The Orchid Pavilion is not only one of the four famous pavilions in China, but is also a famed garden.

The Howling Hill, 12 kilometers east to the city proper of Shaoxing, is also known as Dog Hill (Goushan). It's said to be the place, back some 2,400 years ago in the Warring States, Goujian, king of conquered state Yue, had dogs raised to hunt white deers as tribute to please king of Wu, Yue's suzerain. Goujian stooped to conquer for years and his state finally took hegemony. In Chinese, Houshan sounds like Goushan and the meaning is greater than the latter, so this is probably the reason for the current name.

Today, the Howling Hill has a few attractions such as the Cloud Rock, the Chinese Chess Board Stones and the Trunk Stone, etc.
