A train to spring at the Garden Expo Park and the Chinese Garden Museum

I took 27 subway stops and 5 bus stops to visit the Garden Expo Park and the Chinese Garden Museum. There were a lot of people because the peach blossoms were blooming. Here's a brief review for future visitors: 1. Transportation The subway station for the Garden Expo Park is the fastest way to get there by bus directly at the entrance. You can take either bus 903 or a special line, and the stop at Gate 6 passes by the Garden Museum, but we went to climb the mountain first because there are fewer places to rest on the mountain than in the museum, and more energy is needed. 2. Garden Expo Park Peach Blossom Valley is located between Wenchang Pavilion and Yongding Tower, so almost everyone gets off at Gate 6 and climbs up the mountain. The road up the mountain is easy to walk, with a gentle slope and a wide cement path that can accommodate vehicles. The peach trees in the valley are dense and gather along the slope like clouds. The peach blossoms here are mainly white and light pink, delicate and softly fragrant, already showing signs of withering. Don't be fixated on a specific photo spot; in fact, without post-processing, no matter how you take the picture, it won't have the beauty of a sky full of blossoms. There are many places on the mountain where you can overlook a railway, with freight trains passing by frequently, and the red locomotives are very eye-catching. If you stand by the peach trees and look, it's like a train heading to spring. The park's facilities are average, but since there is no admission fee, you can't ask for too much. 3. Garden Museum This museum is actually hard to do because gardens themselves are architecture, and displaying architecture within a building can't just be about models. Rebuilding would be strange since some gardens are already reconstructions, which would be a reconstruction of a reconstruction. Their approach is to rebuild a Suzhou-style private garden like the Pishi Mountain House indoors, and a northern imperial garden with carved beams and painted rafters outdoors. In addition, the theme exhibition hall displays some technical details of garden construction, such as architectural painting, building components, etc. The indoor part I think is average, with the feeling of fresh paint, lacking an immersive experience except for convenient cosplay photography. The outdoor part is quite good, blending with the mountains of the Garden Expo Park, and there are plenty of places to rest, making it very suitable for spring outings and enjoyment.
