|Jiezi Accepts Mount Sumeru - One of the smallest gardens. Jiezi Garden|Jiezi Accepts Mount Sumeru|One of the smallest gardens In the first year of the Kangxi era of the Qing Dynasty (1662), Li Yu moved to Nanjing with his family at the age of 52 and stayed for nearly 20 years. He built his private residence there - Jiezi Garden. Li Yu said: 'The land is just a mound, hence the name 'Jiezi', which signifies its minuteness. The visiting gentlemen, seeing that it somewhat possesses hills and valleys, say it embodies the idea of 'Jiezi Accepts Mount Sumeru.'' Although Jiezi Garden is less than three acres, through Li Yu's painstaking efforts, it achieved the artistic conception of 'a world within a pot' and holds an important place in the history of Chinese gardens. Student tickets are half price at 7.5r. There are not many tourists in the garden, and I encountered two groups of beautiful ladies in ancient costumes taking photos, which added a bit of brightness to the garden. travel destination
