Dongguan Keyuan | Unlock the retirement life of Qing Dynasty officials for 8 yuan

8 yuan is the entrance fee for Keyuan. Considering the scale of Keyuan, 8 yuan is indeed reasonable, but in terms of the viewing value of Keyuan, 8 yuan is definitely a bargain. Officials of the Qing Dynasty ended their official careers early and returned to their hometown Dongguan to build gardens and recuperate, taking up the leisure of drinking and chatting with old friends, and composing poetry with aides in their spare time. It is a free and easy transition from military to literary pursuits, and a return to simplicity and authenticity. Although Keyuan is small, it has all the necessary parts. Known for its exquisite and ingenious design, every pavilion, landscape, bridge, hall, and courtyard is filled with the designer's infinite thoughts. Although it is not bustling, it has its own poetic charm.
