| The first garden in Huaizuo. The last day of the Qingming Festival, Arrived at Qiao Garden in Taizhou. Qiao Garden, formerly known as Rishe Garden and Sanfeng Garden, It was first built in the Ming Dynasty. It is one of the earlier gardens in northern Jiangsu. Qiao Garden is located on Hailing Road in the old city of Taizhou. It is small in scale and is divided into several parts. Because of the different construction years, The overall style is not very unified. Compared with Suzhou Gardens Lacks some elegance. The most quintessential part of the garden is the Shanxiang Thatched Cottage area. There is a small water system in front of the flower hall. There is a very small bridge. Rockeries surround the south bank. There is a pavilion on each side. There is an ancient tree over 400 years old planted on the mountain. The whole courtyard is simple and quiet. Qiaoyuan was once a guesthouse. Mei Lanfang lived here when he returned to his hometown. The "Plum House" in the garden still displays its appearance at that time. At the entrance of Qiao Garden, Inlaid with Chen Congzhou's handwritten "The First Garden in Huaizuo", From the current perspective, Obviously there is some over-promotion. Many gardens have changed with the times. It is no longer as prosperous as it once was. Fortunately, there are still some traces left. Go and experience the old days.
