Zhan Garden in Nanjing is immersed in the blissful spring

Zhan Garden, located in the core area of the Qinhuai Scenic Belt in the Confucius Temple area of Qinhuai District, Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, is the oldest existing classical garden from the Ming Dynasty in Nanjing and one of the 'Four Famous Gardens of Jiangnan'. Its history dates back to the Wu King's mansion before Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, ascended to the throne, later granted to the mansion garden of Xu Da, the King of Zhongshan, renowned for its rockeries. Named after Ouyang Xiu's poem 'Looking at the jade hall, as if in the heavens', it was known as 'the foremost garden in the Southern Capital' during the Ming Dynasty. It is now a key national cultural relic protection unit and a national 5A-level tourist attraction. With the spring breeze caressing one's face, willows sway gently, and spring flowers bloom profusely in Zhan Garden. The entire garden basks in the joyous spring. Whether for a stroll or leisure, this is the best choice.
