The Year of the Dragon is a must-go, the small and quiet garden is actually in Shanghai!

There are really a lot of small gardens in Jiading's treasure trove! After visiting Qiuxia Garden, I didn't expect that there is another garden in Jiading city area that is also worth visiting, and there is a water-spraying dragon in the garden! It's a great luck to see the water-spraying dragon in the Year of the Dragon! 🐲This is Hui Long Tan, which is even less popular than Qiuxia Garden, but the scenery is definitely not inferior to Suzhou Garden! Hui Long Tan was built in the 16th year of the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. From south to north, there are five rivers converging, with Yingkui Mountain in the middle. It has been known as the Five Dragons Playing with Pearls since ancient times, so Hui Long Tan got its name. 🐲Before coming to Hui Long Tan, I really didn't know that the area inside was so large, and it took more than an hour to stroll around. Hui Long Tan is divided into two parts, the south and the north. The southern part is the natural landscape composed of Yingkui Mountain and Hui Long Tan, and the northern part is the Suzhou courtyard layout composed of Suiyu Spring, Xizhao Pavilion, etc. 🐲Entering the garden from the north, the first thing to visit is the Suzhou courtyard style part of Hui Long Tan. ✔️Compared to other gardens, I think the water of Hui Long Tan is the finishing touch. After entering, you can see a pool after passing through a large bamboo forest, and you can see a small waterfall after passing through the pool. Walking on the stone path on the pool is particularly interesting. ✔️The garden part interprets the view of the railing very well, all kinds of beautiful flower windows, I love the plum flower window next to the small waterfall, which is particularly stylish. ✔️The Wanfo Pagoda in the garden is also very special, perfectly integrated with the quiet environment. 🐲The middle part has a beautifully carved Bai Niao Chao Feng stage, a large lawn, and a monument to Mr. Hou Huang Er. ✔️Walking out of the northern garden area, you can see a large lawn and this beautifully carved stage. The carvings and carvings inside are really exquisite. Walking into the stage and looking up at the dome gives a beautiful feeling. ✔️Coming down from the stage is the monument to Mr. Hou Huang Er, commemorating the two gentlemen of Hou Huang in the Ming Dynasty. 🐲The southern part is more natural scenery, the pavilions and waterscapes are perfectly integrated, and the fountain dragon is here. ✔️I originally thought that the small waterfall in the north was enough to amaze me, but I didn't expect that the clear waterfall in the south is even more spectacular! The waterfall falls from the rockery, winding and twisting in three sections. The best place to take pictures of the waterfall is provided in the middle of the waterfall. ✔️After watching the waterfall, you can see the water-spraying dragon. The winding dragon lies in the green pool, which is a must-visit place in the Year of the Dragon! ✔️Finally, climb up to Kui Xing Pavilion, you can overlook Hui Long Tan, there is a huge champion bell on the top of the pavilion, it is very spectacular. 🌈Tips： ✔️Dogs are not allowed 🗒️Hui Long Tan 📍No. 299, Ta Cheng Road, Jiading District 🕒8:00-17:00 💰5 yuan 🌸Recommended tour time: 1-2 hours
