Keyuan

Dongguan Keyuan Garden - one of the four famous gardens in Guangdong during the Qing Dynasty: (1) Keyuan Garden is located in Guancheng, Dongguan. It is a national key cultural relic protection site and one of the four major gardens in Guangdong during the Qing Dynasty. It is a representative work of Lingnan gardens. It was built in 1860 by Zhang Jingxiu, the owner of Keyuan Garden, after he resigned from his official post and returned to his hometown. It has a history of more than 160 years. (2) The park is divided into two major areas: Keyuan Ancient Buildings (original buildings, charged) and Keyuan Museum (modern, free) (3) Yaoshan Pavilion is the highest point in Keyuan Garden, where you can enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view of Keyuan Garden. When there are many people, the number of people there will be limited to 20. The stairs to the upper floor are quite hidden, so be careful!! (4) Sometimes people perform operas on the second floor of the Keyuan ancient building. You can sit and listen to the music (tea is charged). (5) There is an aviary inside the ancient building, which houses peacocks, parrots, pigeons, etc. (p17) You can walk to the end of the road next to the pavilion to reach the aviary. The glass reflects light, making it difficult to take photos. Personal experience: The scenery is average, but what amazed me was P3. Friends from nearby cities can come and check in. If you come all the way to check in, it's not necessary. Personal strategy: 【1】Tickets, opening hours, and tour time: Keyuan Ancient Buildings 8￥/person, 20 minutes Free 60-minute admission to Keyuan Museum Minutes: 9:30-17:00 (no admission at 16:30) Closed on Tuesdays (except holidays)
