Spring Festival Tour to Yuyuan Garden

Yu Garden - a famous garden in the late Qing Dynasty, the largest private garden in Nanjing, has a history of one hundred years. Nanjing Yu Garden, with its water and rocks, has "70 scenes before and after". Yu Garden is located at No. 1 Hujia Garden, Mingyang Street, Qinhuai District, Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province. It is a part of the Confucius Temple Qinhuai Scenic Belt. It was one of the private villas famous in Liangjiang during the late Qing Dynasty. Because the owner of the garden was Hu Enxie, it was also named Hu Garden, commonly known as Hu Family Garden. This garden consists of two parts: the inner garden and the outer garden. The outer garden is dominated by hills and Yu Lake, while the inner garden is dominated by rockery, halls and other buildings. Yu Garden is dotted with Mingze Hall, where Li Hongzhang, Zeng Guoquan, Zhang Zhidong and other famous scholars gathered, Chunhui Hall, where Hu Enxie took care of his mother to repay her kindness in raising him, and the Inner Garden rockery, which is famous for its exquisite rocks and the shape of the stones that resemble a lion. The biggest feature of the entire garden is its water and rock works. There is a saying that goes, "The beautiful sights in the city make the eyes tired, only the water and rock works in Yuyuan Garden are amazing."
