定园位于虎丘山南麓古茶花村内,占地一百多亩,有苏州最大的园内湖塔影湖,及各类古建筑遗址30多处。定园始建于明代初期,相传为明代开国重臣刘伯温的私宅。园内有采用传统砖木混合结构建筑的“观花亭”、塔影湖、民俗园等景观。小舟的荡漾可见岸上的亭廊也别具特色。 明洪武七年(1375年),刘伯温病死于浙江青田,死后置疑冢七十二处,定园便是其中之一。另一种说法是,刘伯温对外诈死,实际来到苏州定园隐居,并终老于苏州,因此,定园内有刘伯温墓等遗迹。定园在历史上曾数易其主,历经多次废弃与重修。到清代,定园收归公用,建有普济堂等公共慈善机构,以后定园日趋衰落。到解放初,定园内的建筑已破败不堪,后归入茶花村,成为苏州的茉莉花茶基地。 近年来,为大力发展地区旅游业,虎丘镇茶花村两级政府大力引入民间资本,重新修得定园,使其不仅恢复昔日风采,还成为一处以全面展示苏州的茶文化吴文化水文化为一体的独特的园林名胜,吸引着无数海内外游人。?
