Walking Guide
The arched doorway straight ahead is the best spot for taking photos.
After arriving at the side of Orchid Pavilion, turn right and go through the cave.
After exiting the cave, turn right and enter the Drunken翁 Pavilion. Note: "翁" is typically translated as "old man" or can be omitted for better flow in English. Here's a more natural version: After exiting the cave, turn right and enter the Drunken Pavilion.
Navigate to the South Gate of Taoran Pavilion Park, then turn right upon entering.
Go straight to the other side of the pool.
Turn left at the intersection by the lake and walk 20 meters.
