Huai'an Qingyan Garden is a rare government garden

Qingyan Garden is different from the private gardens in the south and the royal gardens in the imperial capital. It is a government garden and is known as the number one garden in Jianghuai. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, this area was called Qingjiangpu. Because it was the territory of Yuan Shu during the Three Kingdoms period, it was also called Yuanpu. During the reign of Emperor Kangxi, river officials were set up in Huai'an to manage the river and passing ships. During the Yongzheng period, the position was changed to Governor-General. This is a lucrative job. Qingyan Garden is very large with pleasant scenery. Local residents often come here with their families and tents for fun on weekends. A large lake is the center of Qingyan Garden, with various functional buildings built around it and in the center of the lake. Only the Hefang Academy is a relic from the old times, which once hosted Emperor Qianlong. There is a Guandi Temple in a corner of the park, which is quite large. There is also a green space suitable for leisure. Qingyan Garden is located in a residential area in the center of Huai'an City, so parking is difficult and there is only a small parking lot a hundred meters away. The car-watching uncle is a master of coordination, and he can make every car enter and exit smoothly without wasting an inch of space.
