[2025 Shanghai Attraction] Travel Guide for Qushui Garden (Updated Mar)

Suzhou gardens are indeed beautiful, but for those who can't leave the magic city, it's all wishful thinking. If you can't leave the magic city, then you can come to Qu Shui Garden. As one of the five major classical gardens in Shanghai, Qu Shui Garden is really surprising! ●Qu Shui Garden was originally built during the Qianlong period, with pavilions, terraces, and waterside pavilions in the garden, and artificial mountains interspersed, winding and very interesting. Qu Shui Garden changes with every step, showing great things in small details, with a secluded courtyard, truly having a unique flavor. ●Stepping into the garden is like entering a paradise, with skyscrapers and bustling traffic outside, and as soon as you enter the garden, it feels like traveling back to ancient times, immediately calming the mind. A large pond of lotus flowers blooms competitively in the garden, with pavilions and waterside pavilions beside the lotus pond, making it very comfortable! ●Approaching the lotus pond, you can find a path leading to the artificial mountain. Walking along the path, you can climb the mountain, and there is a small pavilion on top of the mountain. From the pavilion, you can see a pond full of lotus flowers at a glance. ●On both sides of the central courtyard are two rivers, each with a different artistic conception. The river on the left also has an artificial mountain stone path that can be climbed to the top, with an ancient-style room at the top, exhibiting some cultural relics. ●The river on the right is cooler, with a long and winding corridor, full of the pleasure of viewing the scenery through the railings. At the end of the corridor is a small garden with bonsai, giving a sense of wilderness. 📍Address: No. 612, Gongyuan Road, Qingpu District, Shanghai 🎫Ticket: Free ⏰Opening Hours: 6:00—17:00 🚌Transport: Take Line 17 to Caoying Road, transfer to Qingpu 9 Road to Gongyuan Road Chengzhong North Road ❣️Tips: ▼Dogs are not allowed ▼There is also a City God Temple nearby, which is also worth a visit.

🌸 Morning in the Garden: First Impressions of the Nine-Bend Corridor** Take Metro Line 17 to Qingpu Xincheng Station in the morning, and it's a 10-minute walk to the south gate of Qu Shui Garden. The entrance fee is CNY 5 per person (free for children under 1.3m). As soon as we pushed open the weathered wooden door, my son was immediately captivated by the Nine-Bend Corridor. Sunlight streamed through the carved window lattices, dappling the floor between the vine-covered pillars. He hopped around, counting the shadows: "Dad, doesn't this look like the maze in *Journey to the West*?" 🎨 Interactive Fun: A Nature Class in an Ancient Garden ❶ Ancient Tree Hunt Follow the signs in the garden to start the "Ancient Tree Exploration" mission: *Chinese White Pine (in the Huashen Hall courtyard): Teach children to touch the grooves of the centuries-old bark and observe the spiral structure of the pine cones. *Ginkgo Tree (south of the Qinglai Study): Male and female trees stand side by side. In autumn, the leaves turn golden, while in spring, they create a natural painting with their green foliage. *Buddhist Pine (next to Ninghe Hall): This 200-year-old tree has branches and leaves like a canopy, perfect for playing "tree shadow tracing" games. ❷ AR Poetry Treasure Hunt Scan the QR codes on the stone tablets in the garden to trigger AR animations. The ancient poem "Qu Shui Garden Travelogue" transforms into fluttering butterflies. Children can follow the virtual prompts to find hidden checkpoints and collect three electronic badges to exchange for a hand-drawn map. ❸ Intangible Cultural Heritage Experience at Ninghe Hall Every Saturday morning, the parent-child workshop offers children the opportunity to experience Qingpu paper-cutting and bamboo weaving. My son cut a snake-shaped window decoration out of red paper (2025 Year of the Snake theme), and the old craftsman praised him: "Clever hands, the spirit of our garden is passed down!" 🌳 Nature Exploration: A Shifting Landscape of Ecological Wonders *Birdwatching at the Lotus Pond: Rent binoculars (CNY 20/hr) to observe the agile egrets fishing in the pond. In early summer, you can witness the "tiny lotus tips just showing" scene. *Climbing the Nine Peaks Pavilion: Climb to the fourth floor for a panoramic view of the garden. My daughter pointed to the winding waterway and exclaimed, "So Qu Shui Garden is a coiled snake!" (echoing the Year of the Snake theme). *Sketching in the Wisteria Corridor: In April, the purple wisteria hangs down like a waterfall. Free drawing paper and crayons are provided at the stone tables. My son's "vine monster" doodle made passersby laugh. 🍜 Food and Refreshments: Child-Friendly Treats Inside and Outside the Garden *Tea House in the Garden: The sweet osmanthus lotus root starch soup (CNY 15) is sweet but not greasy, and comes with a snake-shaped glutinous rice cake. My daughter bit an "S" shape into it. *Snack Street at the West Gate: Don't miss the "Xiao La La Yi Gen Jin" spicy strips (mild version), paired with Qingpu malt sugar paintings. The craftsman draws the zodiac snake on the spot. *Wanda Plaza (2 km from the garden): The kids' meal includes mini steamed buns and dinosaur egg pudding, and the children's tableware comes with a garden-themed jigsaw puzzle. 📝 Practical Tips: A Hassle-Free Family Guide* ✅ Transportation: Drive and park at the Gongyuan Road parking lot (CNY 6/hr), or take Metro Line 17 to Qingpu Xincheng Station and transfer to the Qing'an Line bus. ✅ What to Bring: Mosquito repellent patches, children's Hanfu (many ancient-style photo spots in the garden). Strollers can be stored for free at the entrance. ✅ Time: It is recommended to visit between 9:00 and 11:00 to avoid the afternoon crowds. The reflection of the lotus pond is most beautiful at dusk. ✅ Recommended Combination: Visit the Qingpu Museum in the afternoon (free). Children can participate in the "archaeological blind box" digging experience. 🎋 Conclusion: Cultural Sprouts in the Garden As my son picked up fallen leaves under the ginkgo tree, he suddenly asked, "Why did the ancients build gardens with so many curves?" I pointed to the "Curved Water Flowing Cup" plaque on the corridor pillar and told him the story of the Orchid Pavilion Gathering. He seemed to understand, and then drew a nine-bend river and a grinning koi on the back of his hand-drawn map. Perhaps this is the charm of Qu Shui Garden—in this small space, classical aesthetics and childlike curiosity collide, and the seeds of culture take root and sprout beneath the green tiles and white walls. 📍 Address: No. 612, Gongyuan Road, Qingpu District 🕒 Opening hours: 6:00–17:00 (last entry 16:30)

Drive for an hour to escape the city and arrive at this tranquil garden hidden in the bustling city—Qu Shui Garden. Spring in the south is always rainy, and the humid air is filled with a faint floral fragrance, as if every breath can make you feel the gentleness of Jiangnan. I originally planned to shoot a weekend vlog, but was "disturbed" by the rain from time to time, and unexpectedly took this set of photos in various pavilions 📸. The aesthetics left by our ancestors are really amazing, and every frame looks like a beautiful scene from an ancient painting. 📌 There are also two little squirrels in the garden that occasionally shuttle between the branches. If you are lucky enough to see them, remember to take a photo, but don't disturb them!

Qu Shui Garden in Qingpu is beautiful in all four seasons, but in winter, it looks like a traditional Chinese ink painting, with a deep beauty in its tranquility. The rockery, pond, pavilions, and ancient trees all exude a sense of peace in the winter sun. The pale yellow branches of the bamboo are warm and hazy in the sunlight. The ancient buildings with their blue bricks and white walls are dignified and profound in the winter light. In early winter, Qu Shui Garden is neither as bleak and cold as the north, nor as warm as the south, but has a unique Jiangnan charm. It is both tranquil and vibrant, both imaginative and present.

After 270 years of ups and downs, it is still small, exquisite and quaint. 🏗️The buildings in the garden are made of blue tiles, white walls and blue bricks. The stream in the garden runs through it, winding all over the garden. Wherever the water reaches, there are pavilions and pavilions. Each place has the charm and elegance of Jiangnan gardens.

Qu Shui Garden, one of the five gardens in Shanghai, was built in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. It is located on the side of Dayingpu, the moat of Qingpu. It is named after Wang Xizhi's "Qu Shui Liu Shang" and renamed Qu Shui Garden (originally named Yiwenyuan). The feature of Qu Shui Garden is "elegance". Perhaps it was raining when I went there. The small rain in the south of the Yangtze River was as thin as cow hair and endless. October is the time when osmanthus is fragrant. The osmanthus in the garden protrudes from the courtyard wall. The green bricks and white walls are golden and beautiful. The fragrance and ancient charm are a bit silly. The Taihu stone under the osmanthus tree and the flower-shaped pool are full of falling osmanthus. The rain floats over and falls a bit of pity. The lotus in the lotus pond has disappeared, and the lotus leaves are gradually falling, but it does not affect the elegance of the pavilion by the pond. The mountain stone path winds up, and the pavilions and pavilions are looming under the cover of trees, like a gentleman standing elegantly in the deep forest and chanting poems. The whole garden is a thin triangle. Along the way, there are mountains and rivers, pavilions and pavilions, and I can't help but sigh "deep courtyards and heavy waters, how deep is the deep courtyard...". It's good when it's sunny, and it's strange when it rains. Bluestone slab, whose garden. It's time for the osmanthus fragrance in the south of the Yangtze River, and year after year in Qu Shui Garden.

Although the expected chrysanthemum exhibition was not held, Part of the garden is still under construction and maintenance, But we are in the fragrance of osmanthus, Leisurely, walk, stop, look, There are old people playing cards and chess in the pavilion, There is also a worker in uniform, resting under the osmanthus, because Life is not easy, the empty lens swept across her face is also respect... Because it is not the weekend, there are not many people in the garden, I didn't meet many girls who like to wear Hanfu and cheongsam, The very deep view corridor, The clear spring corridor with calligraphy, I met a treasure mother who was walking and teaching her baby to recite poems... With ups and downs, there are boards and eyes, Add a bit of morning sun to the ancient garden~

In the third year of Jiaqing (1798 AD), it was renamed Qu Shui Garden because of its proximity to Dayingpu and its scenery reminiscent of Wang Xizhi's elegant gathering of "Qu Shui Liu Shang" (floating wine cups along winding water), carrying profound meaning. Scenery within the Garden Every corner of Qu Shui Garden exudes the delicacy and charm of Jiangnan gardens: Mi Bai Stone: The three most praised Taihu stones in the garden are inspired by the Northern Song calligrapher Mi Fu's story of bowing to a strange stone, symbolizing the blessings of Fu, Lu, and Shou (happiness, prosperity, and longevity).

Qushui Garden, built in the tenth year of Qianlong, was originally named 'Yiwen Garden' and later renamed 'Qushui Garden', inspired by the phrase 'Qushui Liushang' from Wang Xizhi's 'Preface to the Orchid Pavilion'. Qushui Garden is divided into East Garden, Middle Garden, West Garden, and Calligraphy Garden, each with its own characteristics. Next to it is the Qingpu City God Temple, and the surrounding area is quite lively. Personally, I think it is the least crowded and quietest among the five major gardens. - Tips: Address: No. 612, Gongyuan Road, Qingpu District Transportation: Line 17 to Qingpu New Town Station, then transfer to a bus Tickets: Free -

Located on the banks of the Qingpu City River at No. 612 Gongyuan Road, there is an elegant park: Qingpu Qu Shui Garden. The entire garden is bordered by the city's protective river (Qingpu City River) to the east and the Qingpu City God Temple (with a small parking lot) to the west. It is as famous as Shanghai's Yu Garden, Nanxiang Guyi Garden, Jiading Qiuxia Garden, and Songjiang Zuibai Pond, and is one of the five major classical gardens in Shanghai. Qu Shui Garden was originally an affiliated garden of the Qingpu City God Temple, which was built in the first year of the Wanli era of the Ming Dynasty, with a history of over 400 years. Starting from the tenth year of the Qianlong era of the Qing Dynasty (1745 AD), the temple garden began to take shape, and Qu Shui Garden was constructed alongside it. In the forty-ninth year of Qianlong, Qu Shui Garden began to take on the scale of a garden and was named 'Ling Yuan'. In the third year of the Jiaqing era, it was renamed Qu Shui Garden. It was destroyed by artillery fire during the Xianfeng era, and during the Guangxu era, it took 20 years to successively restore the temple and garden, adding the Fangsheng Pond and Huashen Hall. In 1927, a rockery was added, and on the mountain, the Jiufeng Yilan Pavilion was built, from which one could climb high and gaze far at the nine peaks of Song County. The entire Qu Shui Garden wins with its water scenery, centered around the lotus pond, with the pond water connected to the city river. The halls are close to the water, and the pavilions lean against the pond, with mountains framing the water of the two ponds, making a stroll around the pond a necessity. The garden is entwined with wisteria, with pines and scholar trees swaying, camellias in various poses, and ginkgo trees reaching to the sky. At the entrance of the garden, there are pine and plum rockery bonsai, which are simple and elegant. The garden's architecture consists of green tiles, white walls, and green bricks, with lush trees and branches, abundant flowers and fruits, and is known for its 'spring cherries competing in beauty, summer lotus emerging from the water, autumn osmanthus fragrant, and winter plum blossoms dazzling'. I am originally from Qingpu, and I had an uncle who once worked in Qu Shui Garden. I remember visiting the chrysanthemum exhibition in Qu Shui Garden as a child. Recently, on a deep autumn day, I drove past Qingpu and specifically went to Qu Shui Garden to take some photos. The red maples in deep autumn were particularly gorgeous, and the ginkgo leaves were a full golden yellow. Qu Shui Garden is a garden with unique architectural value of Jiangnan gardens. The main attractions in the garden include: Yimen, Huashen Hall, Ninghe Hall, Lotus Pond, Fangsheng Pond, Jiyun Pavilion, Youjue Hall, Deyue Pavilion, Lvbo Corridor, Shigu Wen Shu Art Garden, and Qinglai Mountain House, etc. In short, every stone and water, every pavilion and pavilion in the garden is interesting, making it a great place for citizens and tourists to relax and play.

Spring is infinitely delightful, and the weeping crabapple trees in Qingpu Qu Shui Garden are in their prime, with swathes of them blooming beautifully, making it hard for visitors to leave. There are more than ten crabapple trees in Qu Shui Garden, currently in full bloom, mainly located in the southeastern side of the garden. The weeping crabapple flowers are in full splendor, with white petals tinged with pink hanging from the branches. The slightly drooping stamens of the crabapple flowers are tender and dewy. Upon closer inspection, some are in full bloom, while others are just beginning to bud. They sway gently in the breeze, their rouge-like spots endearing, and the ancient pavilions and buildings are nestled among the flowers, adding an elegant charm. Currently, the crabapple flowers are at their best viewing period, which will last until the end of April. The flowers are half-open and intoxicatingly delicate. Don't wait any longer, grab your camera, and invite a few good friends for a pink romantic date!

The Qu Shui Garden was established during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty and is a Jiangnan ancient garden with a history of more than two hundred and sixty years. It is known as one of Shanghai's five great classical gardens, alongside Yu Garden, Guyi Garden, Qiuxia Garden, and Zui Bai Pond. It is famous for its water features, with meandering streams connecting lotus ponds and changing shorelines, pavilions near the water, and kiosks by the pond; a mountain bridges two ponds, and visitors must walk around the ponds. Entering Qingpu city from the old East Gate, walking up to the city river bridge, before entering Qu Shui Garden, you first see the Green Wave Corridor. The Green Wave Corridor is built along the river, winding and simple, undulating and elegant, providing shelter from wind and rain, blocking the scorching sun, leading to a secluded path, and gradually entering a beautiful realm. Once inside the garden, it opens up with a lotus pond in front, a water lily pond behind, and a rockery in the middle. Truly, it is a Jiangnan classical garden with unique features, evoking longing and free-flowing thoughts. The nine-bend corridor bridge in the pond surrounds the pavilions and towers. Poems and couplets are carved on the walls, and old inscriptions are found between the columns. Outside the corridor, the water shimmers, and the setting sun reflects on the upper floors. It can truly be praised as: Qu Shui with spiritual charm, a garden full of fragrance. Historical records show that in the 44th year of Kangxi's reign (1705), during Kangxi's fifth southern inspection tour, he arrived at Songjiang Prefecture on March 25th, reviewed the stationed troops in Songjiang in front of the temporary palace on March 27th, and on March 28th, he personally inscribed 'Saintly Traces' and wrote a couplet 'The grace spreads throughout the land, nurturing all under heaven; the legacy reaches the Wu gathering, tasting prosperity for a thousand autumns.' He ordered the educational commissioner of Jiangnan, Zhang Ting Shu, to select skilled craftsmen to carve and hang it at the Kong residence to the north of Qingpu, Songjiang. In the construction of Qingpu Qu Shui Garden from ancient times to the present, there have been built three halls, one tower, two pavilions, one cottage, one studio, two verandas, one room, one pavilion, one boat, fifteen kiosks, thirteen bridges, and five corridors. If ancient garden architecture is a three-dimensional painting, then ancient trees are silent poems. For example, the oldest existing plum tree in China is the 'Jin Mei' from Huangmei County in Hubei, which is over 1600 years old, followed by the 'Sui Mei' from the Guoqing Temple on Tiantai Mountain in Zhejiang, which is over 1400 years old. The oldest plant in Qingpu Qu Shui Garden is a wisteria planted during the tenth year of Qianlong's reign in the Qing Dynasty, now 276 years old, with a trunk circumference of about 0.62 meters, and is a city-level protected plant. The wisteria grows in a counterclockwise direction, with a strong and simple shape. In late spring, it generously blooms with clusters of light purple butterfly-shaped flowers, swaying in the breeze. There are also city-level protected plants that are 80 to 100 years old, such as the Cudrania tricuspidata, camphor tree, twisted locust, and Magnolia grandiflora. Ancient wars may destroy the palaces and towers built in ancient times, but there will always be ancient trees that survive! Ancient trees are the touchstone for verifying classical gardens. Here, you can feel the profound historical heritage.

After visiting Suzhou's Humble Administrator's Garden, I thought of Shanghai's Qushui Garden🌿 Compared to it, it is not inferior, and the key is that it is free🆓 Later, I looked up history👩‍💻 It turned out that it was one of Shanghai's classical gardens, but I didn't know it😌 . 🌻Five major classical gardens in Shanghai: 1️⃣Yu Garden (Huangpu) 2️⃣Zuibaichi (Songjiang) 3️⃣Qiuxia Garden (Jiading) 4️⃣Guqi Garden (Jiading) 5️⃣Qushui Garden (Qingpu) . ❇️Qushui Garden was built in the tenth year of Qianlong (1745). At that time, it was the spiritual garden of the City God Temple.

Shanghai Qu Shui Garden was first built in the tenth year of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty (AD 1745). It is said that in order to build this garden, one penny was collected from every resident in the city, hence it is also known as 'One Penny Garden'. In the forty-ninth year of Qianlong (AD 1784), the land was expanded, dikes were built, stones were piled up, pavilions were added, and after more than forty years, twenty-four scenes and more than thirty temples were built in the garden. Every stone, water, pavilion, and tower in the garden is interesting. In the third year of Jiaqing (AD 1798), the garden was renamed Qu Shui Garden. Because the garden is next to Dayingpu, it takes the meaning of 'curved water flowing muscles' from Wang Xizhi's 'Preface to the Orchid Pavilion'. It was destroyed by artillery fire during the Xianfeng period. During the Guangxu period, it took 20 years to repair the temples and gardens, and a life-saving pool and Flower God Hall were added. In 1927, a rockery was added, and a nine-peak viewing pavilion was built on the mountain, where you can climb to overlook the nine peaks of Song County.

Everyone is going to Gucun to see the cherry blossoms, leaving Qu Shui Garden to me. After all, the garden loses its elegance when it gets crowded 😝 Qu Shui Garden, one of the five major gardens in Shanghai and the smallest in size, is not lacking in beauty. This garden, originally built during the Qianlong period of the Qing dynasty, was once the temple garden of the City God Temple. It is said that the funds for the garden's construction came from the temple's 'one coin wish' donations, hence it was also known as 'One Coin Garden' in the past. Over the span of more than 260 years, it has been destroyed and rebuilt multiple times, but it has always stood firm to the present day. This strong inner strength is probably why old gardens always seem to have more character than new ones. Although it's not fully spring yet, many flowers have already bloomed in the exquisite garden. Plum blossoms, white magnolias, magnolia grandifloras, camellias... some are bright and some are refreshing, each with a subtle fragrance that disturbs the heart. Although I am not a person who loves flowers, I still feel that the gardens of Jiangnan in early spring always have a sense of vitality that is waking up, especially in cities without the nourishment of mountains and rivers, they seem all the more precious and beautiful, truly an aesthetic treasure left by our ancestors. It is also my first time seriously visiting Qu Shui Garden, and I have discovered that the architecture here pays great attention to detail, highlighting the features of southern architecture that are exquisite and elegant, and coexist with the environment. Especially in the Sifang Pavilion, wherever the eyes look, it becomes a painting, and the heart unconsciously calms down. The design of the rooftops is also full of ingenuity; here is a gourd-shaped top, there stands a crane, quietly hiding the historical origins of Qu Shui Garden in the details. By April, Qu Shui Garden should look even better, so I suggest waiting a bit longer. tips: Free admission. Limited ground parking spaces. Underground parking available nearby.

In the 49th year of Qianlong's reign, the land was expanded, ponds were dug, embankments were built, and rockeries were added, along with pavilions and towers. Over a period of more than forty years, the garden was completed with twenty-four scenic spots and more than thirty temples. Every rock and water feature, every pavilion and pagoda in the garden is designed to delight the senses. In the third year of the Jiaqing era, the garden was renamed Qu Shui Garden. The name was inspired by the proximity of the garden to the Dayingpu River and the phrase 'floating cups along the winding stream' from Wang Xizhi's 'Preface to the Poems Collected from the Orchid Pavilion'. The garden was destroyed by artillery fire during the Xianfeng era. Over a period of 20 years during the Guangxu era, the temples and gardens were successively restored, and new features such as the fish release pond and the Flower God Hall were added. In 1927, a rockery was renovated, and on top of the mountain, the Nine Peaks Pavilion was built, from which one can climb high and gaze far at the nine peaks of Song County. The park contains ancient and famous trees, including a hundred-year-old osmanthus.

Wandering around the old town of Qingpu in the rain in winter, although it is close to the New Year, the street is not very lively, and I have experienced the feeling of cold rain and wind. But stepping into the threshold of Qu Shui Garden, the red lanterns hanging under the eaves in front of me swept away the coldness of my body and mind. Turning a long corridor, a winter plum is proudly blooming, with a faint fragrance. Through the Baoping Gate, I suddenly found that the pavilions in front had also put on red lanterns, and the festive atmosphere was vivid. The rain is getting louder, taking a rest in the pavilion, I found a girl in Hanfu holding a dragon year lantern in the pavilion opposite, adding a bit of agility to the Qu Shui Garden in the rain.
