Walking through the Nagafu Gardens is like stepping into a painting of harmonious colors. The emerald green moss quietly tells the traces of time; the gurgling water, like the humming of a zither, accompanies the changing of the four seasons, making people feel the most simple awe of nature. The trees on both sides of the trail are lush and leafy, like elves guarding this land, silently but full of the breath of life. Wandering tourists can't help but slow down and savor the tranquility. At that moment, time seemed to freeze and all worries were blown away by the wind. Every gaze is a baptism of the soul, and every stroke is a deep reflection on life. Even the quietly blooming cherry blossoms are like a soft dream, thinly covering the heart. In this beautiful Japanese garden, all the prosperity seems to have vanished into thin air. This is not an ordinary place, it hides people's deepest pursuits and desires. Changfu Garden makes us understand that silence does not mean emptiness, but rather a kind of return and fulfillment. As Eileen Chang said: "The beauty of life often lies in some silent moments." #Good Places to Go in January 2025
