(Monument for this well-known female poet)
Wangjiang Lou Gongyuan Park is located two kilometers east of Chengdu, on the south bank of the Jinjiang River. The park is renowned because the famous poet, Xue Tao (768-831), once lived here. She originally came from Chang'an and later moved to Chengdu with her father. After his death, she ran into financial difficulties and became a singer. However, she is best known for her poetic work, which was acknowledged and admired by her contemporaries. Because Xue Tao loved bamboo, which she regarded as a symbol of modesty and self-control, over 100 types of bamboo were planted on the grounds in her honor. Wangjiang Lou Tower, offering a view of the river, is located within the park. It is 30 meters high and very elegantly constructed, the two lower stories being rectangular and the two top ones octagonal.
