Shunde Qinghui Garden Travel Guide: All You Need in One Post!

🌸Two Visits, Striking Contrasts🌸 I remember my first visit two years ago during the Lunar New Year. The crowds were like a scene from the Spring Festival travel rush💨. This year, I came back during the off-season, and it was still bustling! It truly deserves its title as "the best of the four great gardens of Lingnan"🔥. It's a top-tier garden, indeed! Although the crowds weren't as overwhelming as before, you still have to squeeze in for those popular photo spots📸 (Highly recommend bringing a wide-angle lens for better shots!).～～～～～～ ⏰[Tips for a Smooth Visit] ✅ Opening hours: 9:00–17:30 (last entry at 16:30) ✅ Tickets: 15 yuan💰 (Scan the code on-site for instant purchase, super convenient!) ✅ Parking tips: Navigate to📍 "Daliang Qinghui Road Parking Lot". Parking across the street is 3 yuan/hour, a great deal🅿.～～～～～～ 📷[Must-sees for Photography Enthusiasts] ▫ Must-have shots: Colorful stained-glass window patterns🌈 + the corridor by the koi pond🐠 ▫ Less crowded times: The best time for photos is right when the garden opens! After 11:00, the tour groups arrive👨👩👧👦. ▫ Hidden spots: The pavilion on top of the rockery offers a great view from above🎐 (Be careful on the steps, safety first!).～～～～～～ 🚶♀[1.5-Hour Walking Route] Explore the ancient house → Climb the rockery → See the koi by the wishing pond🐟 → Admire the window lattice light and shadows → Get stamps at the cultural and creative store🕹 (Stamp collectors, take note!).～～～～～～ 🍜[Food Tour] Turn right after exiting the garden to start your food journey👇: ▫ Huagai Road Pedestrian Street: Minxin Lao Pu Double Skin Milk🥄 (Highly recommend the coconut milk pudding!) ▫ Jinbangshang Street: Volcanic Cream Puffs🌋 + Jun'an Fish Cakes🐟 + Beef Offal Soup🍲 (Come hungry for the best experience!) ▫ Hidden gem: The herbal tea shop on the corner🍵 (A taste of authentic Guangdong).～～～～～～ 💡[Lessons Learned] 1⃣ Wear Hanfu/Qipao for classic photos💃 (The garden doesn't offer rentals, so bring your own). 2⃣ Bring mosquito repellent! The garden has lots of plants, and the mosquitoes are very enthusiastic🦟. 3⃣ Arrive early on weekends, preferably before 9:00! After 10:00, parking becomes a challenge.～～～～～～ 🌈[Travel Reflections] After two visits, I appreciate its beauty even more. Amidst the black tiles and white walls, centuries of time seem to flow by peacefully🌿. The rustling banana leaves whisper ancient love stories. Despite the crowds, when you find a quiet corner and admire the dancing light and shadows, you suddenly understand the Zen of the garden🎋.～～～～～～ 🌟 Shunde is more than just food! I'll definitely bring my friends next time to experience this Lingnan charm～👨👩👧.
