It deserves its reputation as one of the four famous gardens of Lingnan. It's so beautiful!

❤ As you push open the door, the sound of cicadas and the mist hit you in the face. This Lingnan garden, built in the Ming Dynasty, is using the demeanor of banyan trees with hanging curtains to crush the four hundred years of time into ripples. ❤ I walked along the winding corridor, and the leaky windows sifted down fine gold foil, and the banana leaves turned the blue bricks and black tiles into ink scrolls. Beside the Chengqi Pavilion, a koi suddenly wagged its tail, waking up the sleeping clouds in the pool. Between the wrinkled, thin, leaky and transparent textures of the rockery, the fingerprints carved by craftsmen during the Qianlong period can be vaguely seen. ❤ The carved doors of Muxi Xuan are flickering on and off, and the old time is flowing in the oyster shell window lattices. Suddenly I heard children playing, but when I turned my head, I saw the through-hall wind lifting the bamboo curtain, revealing half a piece of lyrics from the Guangxu period. When the glazed ridge beast of the hexagonal pavilion bites the last ray of setting sun, the entire garden fades into a celadon silhouette, and only the fragrance of lotus spreads out in the twilight, an unfinished narrative.
