[2025 Haiyan Attraction] Travel Guide for Qiyuan Scenic Area (Updated Mar)

During the Tongzhi reign of the Qing Dynasty, the Feng family of Haiyan built a house and garden. The house was completed in 1870. The hall is named "Sanle," which comes from the "Mencius" chapter "Jinxin Shang": "Parents are both alive, brothers are without incident, one joy; looking up without shame to heaven, looking down without shame to people, two joys; obtaining the world's talents and educating them, three joys." Based on the remains of the Zhuyixuan and Yanyuan gardens built by the previous generations in the area, the garden was built in 1871. The garden was initially built on a small scale. The Feng family named the garden "Qiyuan" after their wife, which means "beautiful makeup box." The garden has been renovated several times and is now a national key cultural relic protection unit.

Qiyuan Garden is located in Wuyuan Town, Haiyan County, and was originally the "Feng Family Garden." Qiyuan Garden is named after "beautiful makeup," and was actually the dowry of Huang Xiu, the second daughter of Qing Dynasty playwright and poet Huang Xieqing, who married Feng Zuan, a wealthy businessman from Haiyan. When we visited, a group of elderly tourists were visiting the garden, and the quiet environment suddenly became noisy. The tour guide was explaining the Sanle Hall (Sanle comes from "Mencius": "Having both parents alive and brothers without cause is one joy. Looking up to the sky without shame and looking down to the earth without shame is the second joy. Having the talents of the world and educating them is the third joy.") We turned to the right rear and saw the owner's study. We went up to the second floor, where there was a wooden ladder and the owner's bedroom. Looking down from the window, the courtyard was green with grass and yellow with trees. On the left rear side were the lady's study and bedroom. The guide gave a special introduction to Feng Zhiliu, a polymer physicist. When introducing the characteristics of the scenic area, the guide said: "Water follows the mountain, and the mountain is alive because of the water." The ancients were sentimental about mountains and rivers, and their gardens always had mountains and water, which was a natural expression of their leisure and elegance. The beauty looks in the mirror, the butterfly comes to drip green, the ancient vine coils around the clouds, the sea moon hides, and the names are beautiful. When tourists look at the scenery, they may feel ordinary. If there is no poetry, no ink, no emotion, and no scenery in the heart, the scenery will eventually enter the circle of friends, but not the heart.

Speaking of Jiangnan gardens, everyone will first think of Suzhou Humble Administrator's Garden. In fact, there is also a very beautiful classical garden in Haiyan, Zhejiang: Gion. Although the Gion Garden is one of the top ten famous gardens in China, like the Humble Administrator's Garden, it is a bit of a feeling of deep ignorance. In fact, the classic film and television works of thirty years ago, the classic scenes in the 87 edition of "Dream of Red Mansions": Baochao Butterfly, Xiaohong whispers, etc., was taken in the garden. is located in the center of the county town of Haiyan County. It was built in the Qing Dynasty for ten years, that is, in 1871, it is the largest and best preserved classical garden in Zhejiang's existing private gardens. The whole garden is a front-back garden type, covering an area of about 15 acres. The garden divides the interior space with high and low false rock and pool water. It moves in different ways, sometimes in the cave, and sometimes on the top of the mountain. The bridge is connected to different hills, and the winding path is confusing and unpredictable. Guanyuan "The water turns with the mountains, the mountains are due to the water", the garden view, you need to take a detailed tour to taste the truth, I also came here for the second time, only to really like it.

In Liyuan, the first snow in this winter is one of the top ten famous gardens in China. It is located in the center of Haiyan County, and is the largest and best preserved classical garden in Zhejiang Province. It was Feng Yizhai who built the essence of the "Yi Qing Lou" of his father-in-law and the famous playwright of the Qing Dynasty. When we arrived, the snow of the day reached its maximum, and the snow fell on the face. The first snow drifts, such as blooming fireworks, fluttering and swaying. The gardens of the ancient woods and the porch pavilions are covered with white snow, and the heavens and the earth are all in one color. The Yushu Qiongzhi is white and ethereal, and it is like a walk into the silver and white fairyland. I think that in the future, I will recall the garden of today, and the deepest thing in my mind should be this century-old garden covered in silver. is the front house back garden style, a month hole door separates the back garden covering about 15 acres, the advantage is that the garden can be bigger, the space for landscaping is also larger, except for a few small places in the garden Outside the pavilion and the otter, it is full of landscapes and unique features. Although the area of Gion is not large, there are many scenes, and there are representative ten scenes of "Guanyuan": "Don't have a hole in the sky", "Tan Ying Jiu Qu", "Beauty Mirror", "Four Swords", "Dawn "Drawing", "Butterfly to Dicui", "Haiyue Xiaoyin", "Old Teng Panyun", "Yinggu listening to the piano", "Wind and Lotus". is a place worthy of slowing down and slowly savoring. Here is a different scene, every place is like a story about a soul, not regretting the return of the dream, only hate too hurried.

Among the top ten gardens in China, Suzhou Humble Administrator's Garden is famous all over the world. Its water is the center, the mountains and rivers are lingering, the halls are beautiful, the flowers and trees are lush, and it has the characteristics of Jiangnan water town. But everyone does not know that in Haiyan, Zhejiang, there is also a garden that can be named the same as the Humble Administrator's Garden. In 1987, CCTV's TV series "Dream of Red Mansions" used to take pictures here. Although it was later filmed a new version of the Red House, the 87 version left an unforgettable memory in the hearts of our generation. Until today, Gion is still a small unknown spot, and few people come for it, but this garden is a model of private gardens in Jiangnan. , formerly known as Fengjia Garden, was originally a private garden of the late Qing Dynasty rich merchant Feng Yizhai. The whole garden follows the landscaping rules of water changes with mountains and mountains due to water, mainly based on trees and mountains. Dotted buildings, with a large area of water, with a focus on the main, scattered as a supplement, from every angle is a fun and exquisite. Guanyuan has a total area of 10,000 square meters. Two-thirds of the park is mainly mountainous. It is located in the southeast and one third is water-based and is located in the northwest. Rainy day tour garden, a pool of Bi Ying, Shui Ge, do not have some fun. General Jiangnan gardens, often more halls, but in the garden, I see pavilions and pools, the bridges form a scene, "take the momentum as a hidden, life in nature "It is the biggest feature of the landscape of Qinyuan."

There are not many gardens that can be impressed. The garden of Jiaxing Haiyan in Zhejiang is definitely a small and amazing garden. Professor Chen Congzhou, a famous garden expert, has repeatedly visited and praised him. The author said that this garden is the number one in Zhejiang and is regarded as one of the top ten famous gardens in China. is also known as Fengjia Garden. The owner of the garden, Feng Yizhai, was a businessman in the soy sauce business. He married the poet of the Qing Dynasty and the second daughter of the playwright Huang Lanqing. The two gardens of the Changi Garden and the Liyuan, owned by the Huang family, were also given as dowry to Feng Yizhai. Qing Xianfeng years (1851-1861), the two gardens were destroyed by the fire, Tongzhi six years, Feng Yizhai set the essence of the two parks, and added some Taihu stone, build this park, Tongzhi began to take shape. Later, the pavilions and other pavilions were rebuilt, and the scenic spots were added and named as the Gion. is quiet, usually there are not many tourists, the garden maintains the pattern of the former house and the back garden, the brick and wood building structure is clean, and when you walk in, you can't help but slow down, only slowly appreciate it. Meet the temperament of this garden. Sanletang is a two-story building with nine floors, and the front and back are all patios. The brick carvings are decorated with flying arches and hidden temples. The so-called "three music" is "to be worthy of the sky, to be indifferent to people, to be happy too; parents and brothers are in the same place, two music too; to gather talents in the world and educate, this three music is also." a small The small garden is the Grand View Garden of the Jiangnan architecture in the Qing Dynasty.

Gion, one of China's top ten gardens, is like a quiet ink painting. Even though time passes, it still quietly stops at the city's glimpse, guarding one's own soil and water, walking between pavilions and pavilions. As if crossing back to ancient times, all the words and deeds brought the style of some people in the painting. The construction of the whole garden adopts water to turn with mountains and mountains to live by water. It is dominated by trees and mountains, with a little decoration, one step at a time, every carving or every pavilion Exquisite and exquisite, the ancient people of Jiangnan are pursuing the pursuit of elegance and elegance. Hundreds of thousands of turns in the corridor, looking back, I can always see a touch of green in the open space of the house, not much more, just right. There are countless large and small halls of this kind, which are similar to the classical wooden style. The white wall is scented with incense, the pavilion attic is green, the original Chinese style, wearing a costume and sitting up, is An official who is a good-looking or high-ranking official has an image. The early autumn of the garden, sometimes very quiet, sometimes very agitated, sometimes very charming, sometimes very empty, quietly listening, quietly smelling, every place is like telling a story of a soul, not regrets returning Only hate too hurried.

Liyuan is one of the top ten famous gardens in China. It was the residence of Fengs local wealthy merchant in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, also known as Fengs Garden. The back garden here is really big, its house is not a lot, but the back garden accounts for more than 10,000 square meters. Come here, I can imagine that even if there is no network, and everyone lives in the show, would you like to experience it?

In the Gion, it still retains the way the master lived while studying. Between strokes and paintings, everything in the world floats on paper, and all of them are educated in the Ming Dynasty; the ancient books are in the forefront, and they are compiled and published in countless times. The biggest experience of walking away in Gion is that the scenery is constant and intriguing. It is exquisitely built here, with mountains and rivers reflecting each other.

Haiyan Liyuan, one of China's top ten famous gardens, is the poet Feng Yizhai of the Qing Dynasty. Walking in the garden in the morning, the first day of the high forest, the temperature is just right, in which direction to look at the scenery. The aesthetics of Chinese gardens are very private. They don't pay attention to symmetry and grandness. They are the poet and willfulness of the designer. They follow the trend, the taller into the mountains, the lower ones into the pool, and the lowest land in the garden. The temperature is also the lowest, the stone table and chair are built, and the young lady plays the piano in the heat. The ancient trees in the garden are towering, the ginkgo wisteria is entwined, the leaves are colorful, the rock formations are strange, and the pavilions and pavilions seem to have no rules and shades. The yellow leaves on the stone chair are taken down, the sun sitting on the plants above the head is golden, and the garden is so large that it stops, but it is a small space of self-contained pattern, and it is not watched. Self-satisfaction is classical.
