Hidden in Laomendong is the Mustard Seed Garden

The Mustard Seed Garden was a garden built in 1668 (the seventh year of Kangxi) by Li Yu, a literary scholar, playwright, and garden architect from the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Li Yu was a pioneer of leisure culture and a cultural master who achieved many accomplishments. His cultural creativity and practice are still inspiring in today's cultural creativity and leisure life. The Mustard Seed Garden is named for its small size of less than three acres, hence the name 'Mustard Seed', to 'pick its subtlety'. It has become one of the smallest and most classic gardens in garden history. When you are eating and walking around Laomendong, you may have passed by it without noticing that there is another view here. The garden is not large, but it is very compact in design, with high and low levels, and mountains and waters. Many beauties come here to take ancient style photos. 📍Detailed address: Find No. 32, San Tiaoying in Laomendong 🕙Opening hours: 9:30-16:30 (closed on Sundays and Mondays) 💰Ticket price: 15 yuan
