Ge Garden, named after bamboo and famous for its stones, is the oldest and best preserved salt merchant garden in Yangzhou. If 'March fireworks in Yangzhou' is the endorsement written by Li Bai for Yangzhou, then 'the best place in the west of bamboo' is the promotion given by Jiang Kui to Ge Garden. The lush green bamboo separated by a wall separates the hustle and bustle of Dongguan Street and soothes the anxiety and impatience brought by my hurried journey. 'Prefer to eat without meat, rather than live without bamboo', the owner of Ge Garden, Huang Yingtai, cherishes and loves bamboo, even changed his name to 'Zhiyun', and planted his residence full of lush bamboo. Naming the garden 'Ge' is not only a clever take on the charm of the Chinese character and shape of bamboo; the three strokes in the painting also represent the perfect realm of the three fullness of fortune, salary, and longevity. This is also the most famous classical garden in Yangzhou besides Slender West Lake - if you don't come to Ge Garden, you haven't been to Yangzhou. Four Seasons Rockery: A mountain has many seasons, and a season is in many mountains Chinese freehand brushwork is committed to integrating thousands of weather in a square inch. A long scroll of the four seasons is also condensed into an eternal real scene by Ge Garden. 'Spring mountain is light and like a smile, summer mountain is green and like a drop, autumn mountain is clear and like makeup, winter mountain is bleak and like sleep', and the winter and spring mountains are separated by a wall. Through the hole in the west wall of the winter mountain, you can glimpse the stalagmites at the entrance of the garden outside - winter is here, will spring be far away? Admiring the autumn mountain in autumn is just right: the craftsman cleverly borrows the texture and unique color of the newly built yellow stone, and constructs a rugged and changeable three-dimensional landscape in the square inch of the world. Standing on the Buddha Yun Pavilion on the top of the mountain, you can overlook the autumn mountain below, and you can look far away to the Slender West Lake to the north. The mountain is also planted with ancient cypresses, red maples and other colorful and angular plants, which are commensurate with the handsome mountain body, making this live 'Autumn Mountain Sunset' picture always new. Baoshan Building: Don't go out and the sky is spring, and the dust horses are all resting The slender Baoshan Building embraces the summer and autumn mountains with a long corridor, hence the name. The garden has the saying of 'mustard sumeru' and 'pot middle world', and the title of Baoshan Building 'Pot Sky from Spring' also means to see the big from the small. It is like a time and space tunnel, collecting spring, summer, autumn and winter, heaven and earth, day and moon: climbing the building and looking, you can overlook the clear pool and mountain stone flowers and trees under the building, as far as the entrance of the spring mountain; to the north, you can look far away. Yangzhou city scenery, hear the voices of people in the market; walking along the long corridor in the building, there are exquisite and transparent summer and majestic and heavy autumn within a hundred steps. Wan Bamboo Garden: The green shadow shakes the sky and the blue clouds are low, and the bamboo dances with the wind and the rhyme is long Bamboo is the spirit of Ge Garden. In Wan Bamboo Garden, there are now more than 60 kinds of ornamental bamboo and more than 20,000 poles. There is a pavilion in the depths of the bamboo forest, named after Wang Wei's poem 'Bamboo Pavilion'. The couplet in the pavilion 'For the heavy frost festival, can be empty to respond to the heart of things' also reflects Huang Zhiyun's love for the bamboo's spirit. Standing in the hexagonal pavilion surrounded by bamboo trees on all sides, waiting for the breeze to pass through the bamboo tips, the bamboo shadows swaying, listening to the clear and unique sound of the bamboo leaves, I can't help but think: when the 'Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest' in the Wei and Jin Dynasties lived under the bamboo and sang happily, Is it so comfortable and hearty? 'Spring, summer, autumn and winter mountain light is different, the wind is clear and the dew bamboo shadow is colorful', come to Ge Garden in autumn, you can enjoy the fragrant osmanthus, golden ginkgo, and fiery maple's strong autumn rhyme at the same time. 📍'Ge Garden': No. 10 Yanfu East Road, Guangling District 💰Tickets: 30r  Ge Garden

In fact, I still like to eat the fat meat inside. I bite the skin and the fat oil in the mouth to give each other their own charm, which is wonderful.

China in March is like a spilled paint palette, each city hiding unique surprises! Escape the crowds and embrace the spring romance in these five cities, with their flower seas, stunning landscapes, and vibrant atmosphere. 🌺 Linzhi, Tibet: A Pink Storm at the Foot of the Snow Mountains 📍 Locations: Bome Peach Blossom Valley, Suosong Village ✨ Why go?: While Mount Namcha Barwa is still covered in snow, the wild peach blossoms in the valley bloom into a pink ocean. The sturdy, ancient-like peach trees create stunning photo opportunities reminiscent of *National Geographic* covers. 🔍 Hidden Gems: • Wake up at 6 a.m. to capture the sunrise illuminating the golden mountain alongside the peach blossoms. The scene is even more magical when shrouded in mist. • Stay in a Tibetan homestay, sip butter tea, and listen to the host's tales of King Gesar. • Hike through the Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon and encounter blue sheep and Tibetan snowcocks (bring trekking poles!). 🍲 Must-try Food: Stone-grilled Tibetan pork, stone pot chicken with matsutake mushrooms, and barley wine. ⚠️ Note: The altitude is over 3,000 meters, so pack glucose and oxygen. The temperature difference between day and night is extreme, so layering is essential. 🌼 Wuyuan, Jiangxi: A Golden Dream on Terraced Fields 📍 Locations: Jiangling Terraced Fields, Huangling Ancient Village ✨ Why go?: In mid-to-late March, the rapeseed flowers surge like golden waves toward the white-walled and black-tiled houses.

Renting a car offers more flexibility (avoid weekends!). 🍃 Yangzhou, Jiangsu: Tang and Song Poetry by the Slender West Lake 📍 Locations: Slender West Lake, Pishi Street, Geyuan Garden ✨ Why go?: Li Bai's "Misty March" comes to life here—magnolia blossoms reflect on the Five-Pavilion Bridge, and a traditional Yangzhou back massage is more relaxing than a hot spring. 💡 Unique Experiences: • Queue at Quyuan at 6 a.m. for an early morning tea feast, pairing crab roe soup dumplings with Kuilongzhu tea. • Take a night tour of Slender West Lake to see the light show, which is ten times more stunning than during the day. • Experience the "water-wrapped skin" massage at a time-honored bathhouse and discover the intangible cultural heritage of the "three knives." 🍲 Must-try Food: Scalded dried tofu shreds, lion's head meatballs, and diced chicken, meat, and bamboo shoot buns. 🎒 What to bring: A folding fan! It's a great prop for photos in the gardens. 🌸 Luoping, Yunnan: 200,000 Acres of Rapeseed Flowers 📍 Locations: Jinji Peak Cluster, Luosi Fields ✨ Why go?: The world's largest rapeseed flower field explodes with color here, with karst peaks emerging from the golden ocean, creating a scene more vibrant than a Van Gogh painting. 🚴♂️ Level Up Your Trip: • Rent a bicycle and ride through the flower sea, encountering beekeepers harvesting fresh honey. • Take martial arts-inspired photos at the Nine Dragons Waterfalls, reminiscent of the TV series *Joy of Life*. • Learn how to make five-color glutinous rice in a Buyi village. 📅 Best Time to Visit: Early to mid-March (don't miss it!). ⚠️ Note: There are many bees in the flower fields, so wear long sleeves, pants, and mosquito repellent patches. 🌧️ Guilin, Guangxi: The Oriental Aesthetics of the Misty Li River 📍 Locations: Yulong River in Yangshuo, Longji Rice Terraces ✨ Why go?: In the misty March rain, the Li River transforms into a flowing ink painting, and the water-filled Longji Rice Terraces resemble a sky mirror, even more ethereal than during the harvest season. 🛶 Must-try Experiences: • Choose the Jinlong Bridge to Jiuxian section for bamboo rafting and go before 9 a.m. to avoid tour groups. • Climb Mount Xianggong to see the sea of clouds entwined with the karst peaks. • Try the oil tea feast with mugwort rice cakes—the bitter taste is followed by a delightful sweetness. 🍲 Must-try Food: Guilin rice noodles, beer fish, and bamboo tube chicken. 🚗 Transportation: Take a 30-minute taxi ride from Yangshuo High-Speed Railway Station to West Street. 🎒 Spring Travel Emergency Kit 1️⃣ Sun Protection Trio: SPF 50+ sunscreen, a fisherman's hat, and ice sleeves (Luoping's UV rays are intense!). 2️⃣ Photography Essential: A mobile phone wide-angle lens (capture panoramic views of the flower sea for just ¥19.9). 3️⃣ Moisture Protection: A folding raincoat and a camera rain cover (the misty rain in southern China can be unpredictable). 4️⃣ Lifesaving Snacks: Beef jerky and chocolate (replenish your energy while hiking in Linzhi). 💡 Summary: This is how to enjoy March!

As the poem goes, "煙花三月下揚州" (Misty rain in March down Yangzhou). It's March again, and I've come to Yangzhou for a two-day trip to enjoy the spring. I'd like to share my itinerary with you, hoping it will be helpful. Day 1: Siwang Pavilion/Wenchang Pavilion—Ge Garden—Dongguan Street—Zhu Ziqing's Former Residence—Pishi Street—He Garden—Grand Canal Museum Day 2: Quyuan Teahouse—Slender West Lake (Diaoyutai—White Pagoda—Five-Pavilion Bridge—Lakeside Plum Garden—Twenty-Four Bridges—Bonsai Museum)—Daming Temple/Guanyin Mountain The two-day route is mainly on foot. I recommend buying a two-day pass for Ge Garden/He Garden/Slender West Lake/Daming Temple. The Grand Canal Museum requires advance booking. If you want to have morning tea at Quyuan Teahouse, you must get up early to get a number. After the meal, you can enter Slender West Lake from the south gate. Now is the time when the magnolia flowers are in bloom in He Garden and the plum blossoms are in bloom in Slender West Lake. With the warm weather and clear skies, it is the perfect time to visit. Given the considerable amount of walking involved over the two days, it's important to prioritize rest and relaxation in the evenings. This time, I stayed at the Inheritors Slender West Lake Hot Spring Resort. The hotel is located by Slender West Lake, built alongside a stream, and facing the Yangzhou Bonsai Museum. The hotel is mainly divided into three sections. Guests can enjoy afternoon tea in the tea area facing the Daming Temple Pagoda and Slender West Lake, swim in the open-air swimming pool behind the lobby area or dine in the restaurant next to it, and soak in several different hot spring pools behind the guest room area to dispel the cold and relieve fatigue. I stayed in the hotel's Quiet Enjoyment Hot Spring King Room. The room offers a private indoor hot spring bath, a separate bathroom and shower area, a rain shower, and a smart toilet. The minibar provides a complete set of teaware and complimentary custom tea. The long table serves both as a work desk and a tea table. The soft light from the square lamp is very comfortable. The king-size bed has a footstool and offers a choice of soft and firm pillows. The mattress is sufficiently soft, and once you lie down, you won't want to get up again. After enjoying afternoon tea by the lake, strolling around the garden, and soaking in the hotel's hot springs, the fatigue from traveling was completely relieved. Also, the hotel's room cards are quite nice, with a stylish design.

The Ge Garden gets its name from its former owner, the salt merchant Huang Zhiyun, who loved bamboo. The garden was planted with tens of thousands of green bamboos, and the bamboo leaves resemble the Chinese character "个" (gè), which is half of the character for "bamboo" (竹, zhú). However, he was neither the first nor the last owner, and the fates of several owners were not very pleasant. The last owner, from the Li family, simply donated it. Although it has also suffered from war, most of it has been preserved and is a very distinctive private Suzhou-style garden. Currently, there are some discounted prices on various platforms, including Trip.com. The place is not very large, so if you are interested, you can visit it.
