There is a classical garden in Pudong, Shanghai, with a nice environment that is free to visit, but not many people know about it! Curious friends might ask, what exactly is this classical garden? And what kind of unique scenery does it have? With these questions and curiosity, today let's talk about the stories of the Ancient Bell Garden in Shanghai. The Ancient Bell Garden is located at the southwest corner of Huinan Town, by the Satellite River, and was established in 1982, covering an area of more than 38,700 square meters. The bronze giant bell cast in the fifth year of the Longqing era of the Ming Dynasty (1571) is situated in the central scenic area of the garden. The bell has a mouth diameter of 1.1 meters, a height of 1.62 meters, a circumference of 2.8 meters, and weighs 1.6 tons. The ancient bell is a treasure of Nanhui and is now listed as a key cultural relic protected at the municipal level in Shanghai. The park is named after this bell, and the amusement facilities in the children's playground are quite cheap. The ancient bell has now returned to Fuquan Temple, and what is placed in the park is a replica. The garden paths are winding, paved with stone slabs and pebbles, and the layout of pavilions, terraces, towers, bridges, roads, ditches, and channels, as well as the overall design of the buildings with their flying eaves and the general layout of the greenery, all highlight the features of 'grey tiles and white walls, bronze ginkgo trees', presenting a simple and elegant, quiet and deep atmosphere, recreating the ancient Ming Dynasty garden style and lifestyle, making it a classical garden with Ming Dynasty-style architecture.
