Zhou Garden｜Chinese-style horror ceiling, don’t miss it when you come to Nanjing!

There is a saying that goes, "There is the Forbidden City in the north and Zhou Garden in the south." This private museum really gave me an unprecedented shock! As soon as you step into Zhou Garden, the strong financial resources and profound cultural heritage of the owner are fully revealed. The rich exhibits, diverse styles, and luxurious decorations are all amazing. It is definitely a worthwhile cultural journey. In order to allow everyone to have a better tour, the following tour route is recommended for you: Siheyuan ➡️Ancient Culture Museum ➡️Zhou Family Courtyard ➡️Buddhist Hall ➡️Zhou Ancestral Hall ➡️Stone Statue Group ➡️Hundred Beds Hall ➡️Root Carving Hall ➡️Thousand Buddha Corridor. ✅ Siheyuan: It consists of six buildings: the Imperial Kitchen, the Shangshufang, the Yangxinzhai, the Taihe Hall, the Baohe Hall, and the Shilong Hall, and it is very magnificent. Each room is filled with the owner's collection. Baohe Hall is the place where the owner of the garden worships Buddha. It is actually built in imitation of the Longmen Grottoes, which is really astonishing. The Lion and Dragon Hall is the main building. The mother table of the Lion and Dragon Table, the treasure of the museum, is located on the first floor. The mysterious human skin drum can also be seen on the second floor. ✅ Ancient Culture Museum: The venue is huge, and there are no lights on, so the light from the flashlight seems dim. There are not only houses, streets and pavilions in the museum, but also plaques hanging on the walls. Walking through it with a flashlight, it feels like being in "Grave Robbers' Chronicles", the Chinese horror atmosphere is at its peak. ✅ Zhou Family Courtyard: A typical Hui-style building, it covers an area of ​​more than 6,000 square meters. It is said that the old houses here were purchased by the owner of the garden from endangered old houses in various places, and then rebuilt by craftsmen. There are Chinese-style archways, stages, hexagonal pavilions, and patios, and exquisite reliefs can be seen everywhere. There is also a thousand-year-old osmanthus tree at the entrance, which was transported from Guangzhou in 2014. ✅ Stone statues: A group of huge Buddha statues stood in the courtyard, and the scene was extremely shocking. ✅ Hundred Beds Hall: The museum houses a collection of antique wooden beds collected by the owner of the garden, with the end of the collection as far as the eye can see. The most famous "King of Beds" is the mahogany bed inlaid with jade and with cloud dragon patterns that Puyi used when he lived in Tianjin, covering an area of ​​30 square meters. ✅ Root Carving Museum: Here you can see precious root carvings such as the 108 Camphor Generals, the Five Sons Playing with Maitreya, and the Millennium Yew Tea Sea. ✅ Thousand Buddha Gallery: As soon as you arrive here, you will understand why there are so many Buddha statues placed outside the scenic area, because there are so many Buddha statues here!
