Yangzhou Ge Garden – "Bamboo Shadows and Sakura Showers"

#cherryblossom25 Ge Garden in Yangzhou is famous for its bamboo groves, but when spring arrives, it becomes a secret cherry blossom treasure. I was charmed by the contrast — tall green bamboo swaying alongside delicate sakura blooms. The garden’s clever design, with its rockeries and zigzagging corridors, made every step a new composition of light, shadow, and color. I lingered in a pavilion where the wind carried petals through the open windows, creating a natural snowfall indoors. It’s smaller and more intimate than some grand parks, but its understated elegance makes it a perfect spot for those who appreciate subtle beauty.
