Witness the four seasons of a garden, read the vicissitudes of a century

Witness the four seasons of a garden, read the vicissitudes of a century

Visiting a private garden in Yangzhou during the Spring Festival holiday is a highlight, but two hours is still too short to do anything but skim the surface. One can only roughly experience the rich and varied garden scenery and the elegant and cultured life of wealth and luxury depicted in the owner's poetry and paintings. The ingenious ideas of the four-season rockery, as well as the historical figures' couplets and calligraphy treasures, cannot be explored and experienced one by one. When time permits, one must return to savor these in detail.

Appreciation of Jiangnan Gardens: Ge Garden in Yangzhou, a delicate Jiangnan garden like a fine brushwork painting

Appreciation of Jiangnan Gardens: Ge Garden in Yangzhou, a delicate Jiangnan garden like a fine brushwork painting

❤Reason for recommendation: Ge Garden is extremely exquisite. It was the residence of a salt merchant in Yangzhou during the Qing Dynasty. It got its name from the full garden of green bamboo, because each piece of bamboo leaf looks like the Chinese character 'Ge', which shows the elegance of the ancients~ Although its area is not as famous as the Humble Administrator's Garden and Lion Grove in Suzhou, its architectural scenery is beautiful and delicate, which is rare. In the densely covered gardens of Jiangnan, its brilliance is still hard to hide! 🌟Highlight features: The garden is famous for its four-season rockery. Walking in it, you can see the beautiful scenery of the four seasons in a moment, especially the stacked stones of the rockery are most praised by people. The bamboo stone, lake stone, yellow stone, and Xuan stone are stacked into the four-season rockery, which is praised by the garden master Mr. Chen Congzhou as a 'unique example in China'! ✅Must experience: You must stop and watch the rockery in the garden carefully. There is a small path in the rockery that you can walk through. It is winding and quiet. When you enter, it is spring, but when you come out, it is full of autumn, which is quite interesting~ ✅Must experience: Residential area: The residential area behind the garden is where the former owner lived. It can satisfy your curiosity about the life scene of the ancient large family~ 🕙Business hours: 7:30-17:00 It is recommended to go early. If you are going to enjoy the garden, I personally don't like it when there are many people. It's not convenient to take pictures when there are many people. 📍Detailed address: No. 10 Yanfu East Road, Guangling District, Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province If you are near Dongguan Street, congratulations, there is a door of Ge Garden opened on Dongguan Street~

Dreaming of the South, a poetic home

Dreaming of the South, a poetic home

During the Spring Festival, the highways are toll-free, and we drove all the way to the city of Yangzhou. Although it is not yet the time of peach blossoms and willows in the 'Fireworks in March', for us coming from the north, it already feels like spring is everywhere. In the personal garden, the vitality is further enhanced by the bamboo forests everywhere, and the combination of grey bricks, white tiles, and the natural colors of rockery and evergreens in the private gardens makes it feel as if we are in a painting.

Visiting He Garden at night offers a unique scenery

Visiting He Garden at night offers a unique scenery

Yangzhou is filled with poetic gardens. He Garden, also known as Jixiao Mountain Villa: Leaning against the south window to express pride, ascending the eastern heights to release a carefree shout. This poetic name easily reminds people of the world-famous novel Wuthering Heights. It is also known as the finest garden of the late Qing dynasty. Today, it is one of the most famous spots in Yangzhou for portrait photography, with ladies in ancient costumes everywhere. I used to visit He Garden during the day, to see the rockeries and the ladies, but now with the scorching sun, it's even more appealing at night. A night tour of He Garden, to see the light show and the ladies. The park features various performances such as Yang Opera and puppet shows, and these performances further highlight the winding paths and secluded charm of the night, with lights reflecting on the ancient buildings, creating a beautiful anachronism.

Yizhou Garden in Yangzhou: A small garden on Dongguan Street that finds tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle, without seeking publicity

Yizhou Garden in Yangzhou: A small garden on Dongguan Street that finds tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle, without seeking publicity

Yizhou Garden. I am even more fond of this small garden next to the Ge Garden. It is adjacent to Ge Garden, sharing the bustling Dongguan Street, yet it seeks quietness within the noise, being small and exquisite, and appears reserved and elegantly simple. Of course, there are not many visitors here, so it is naturally quiet. Compared to Ge Garden, it is smaller in size and elongated in shape. Therefore, the rockery built along the courtyard wall and the half pavilion at the end are also adapted to the local conditions, but I prefer such lightly embellished rockeries and buildings among the mountains. The overly tall and complex stacked rocks forming mountains, which require constant climbing and tunneling, are not to my liking. I also love the back garden. The back garden is very small, but the lake rocks, flowers, plants, trees, and the surrounding buildings, including the Reading Tower, are all very exquisite and cleverly arranged. Yizhou Garden and Ge Garden, two gardens next to each other, have very different appearances. Besides the difference in the financial resources of the two owners, it also makes one think of some differences in the lifestyle and attitude towards life of their owners.

Ge Garden: A Dream of Jiangnan Gardens

Ge Garden: A Dream of Jiangnan Gardens

When the cold wind blows, Ge Garden in Yangzhou puts on its most charming outfit of the year. In this season, Ge Garden is no longer just a garden, but a colorful and layered work of art worth savoring. Ge Garden is a typical Jiangnan private garden, adjacent to the bustling Dongguan Street. In the 23rd year of the Jiaqing reign of the Qing Dynasty (1818 AD), Huang Zhiyun expanded the garden on the site of the Ming Dynasty Shouzhi Garden, forming today's Ge Garden. Although the overall architectural style of Ge Garden is mainly Jiangnan garden style, it also reflects the attempt of combining Chinese and Western styles in some details. However, this attempt is not the main feature of the architectural style of Ge Garden, but exists as an embellishment and supplement. It is said that the owner of the garden, Huang Zhiyun, loved bamboo, and the bamboo leaves were shaped like the Chinese character "个" (ge), so the "个" element was cleverly integrated into the architectural design of Ge Garden. For example, the windows, door lintels, and other details in the garden are decorated with the "个" shape, which not only adds to the artistic beauty of the garden but also reflects the aesthetic taste of the garden owner. Walking along the winding paths, shuttling between the rockeries, you will sometimes encounter a small pavilion, and sometimes see a clear pool of water reflecting the surrounding scenery. Ge Garden is also famous for its rockery art. The rockeries are numerous but not chaotic, and the ancient cypress trees on the rocks are lush, giving a sense of verdant greenery. The four-season rockeries in the garden are made of bamboo shoots, lake stones, yellow stones, and Xuan stones, showing the different scenery of the four seasons. During the Tongzhi reign, Ge Garden was sold to Li Wen'an, a salt merchant from Dantu, Zhenjiang. The Li family owned Ge Garden for 60 years, the longest time, during which they gradually improved Ge Garden, making it the most complete period of Ge Garden, and most of the rockeries were built with the ballast stones of the Li family's fleet. Today, Ge Garden is not only one of the top ten famous gardens in China, but also one of the heritage sites of the Yangzhou section of the Grand Canal, and has been listed as a World Cultural Heritage. Tips: Ge Garden is adjacent to Dongguan Street. After visiting Ge Garden, you can stroll around Dongguan Street, buy some Yangzhou gifts to take home, or take photos. We recommend the Assan Folk Huaiyang Cuisine restaurant on Dongguan Street.
