🌸 Shunde Mingshi Garden was built in the late Qing Dynasty, a time of great change. The owner of the garden accumulated a huge fortune with his keen business sense and unremitting efforts. To show his status and taste, he carefully built Mingshi Garden. 🌳 The layout of Mingshi Garden is very exquisite. Outside the garden, there is a three-story guard tower. Inside the garden, there are three main parts: the living area, the small western-style building, and the courtyard. He Mingshi was exposed to overseas culture from an early age, so this garden cleverly integrates Western styles, and the ancient architecture of the late Qing Dynasty complements the Western architecture. The main house is a traditional "wok ear house", while the west wing is a small western-style building full of Baroque style. The private garden has both Chinese-style pavilions and Baroque-style arches and fountains, which are very charming. 🔅 The garden combines Chinese and Western architectural styles. The Chinese-style pavilions and buildings with flying eaves and brackets show traditional oriental charm, while the Western-style arches and columns add an exotic touch. This is not only a fusion of architectural art, but also a witness to the exchange of Eastern and Western cultures in that era. 🍁 Today, Mingshi Garden has become a historical landmark of Shunde. When people walk in, they seem to be able to touch the past and feel the wisdom and courage of their ancestors.

#August2024 Mingshi Garden in Shunde was first built during the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty, with a history of more than 130 years. It was the residence of He Mingshi, the richest man in Shunde in the late Qing Dynasty. Among them, the courtyard style that combines Western and Chinese styles is very distinctive.

When it comes to the gardens and architectural monuments in Shunde, Foshan, many people know Qinghui Garden and Liang Garden, but few people know that there is a garden in Shunde Lunjiao Garden. There is a century-old mansion called Mingshi Garden, which has a history of more than 130 years and combines the architectural styles of the East and the West. Although it is not large in scale, the advantage is that it is small enough that few people go to Qinghui Garden to crowd in. I would rather come to this kind of niche place to enjoy and take pictures slowly and freely. Besides, its combination of Chinese and Western architectural beauty is also worth seeing! Mingshi Garden is the former residence of Mr. He Mingshi, a famous overseas Chinese. Mr. He Mingshi was born in Yang'e, Lunjiao in 1886. At the age of 12, he went to Malaysia with his father to study and then inherited his father's business. The gold shop business in Malaysia is growing bigger and bigger After returning to Shunde, he opened many branches and became very rich. He married 9 wives and built this garden mansion in his hometown.

A Two-Day Trip to Shunde We arrived at the hotel smoothly at nine o'clock on Saturday after a two-hour ride on the high-speed train and the subway (Picture 1). The hotel is located on the periphery of Qinghui Garden, and we could see the scenery of Qinghui Garden through the window, which was quite nice. After a short rest and leaving our luggage, we went to Huagai Road to find something to eat. Huagai Road is a street full of specialty snacks, offering a wide range of choices. We had fish noodles and fish skin, then went back to the hotel to rest. At two o'clock, we first visited Qinghui Garden, and after that, we took Line 3 to Tongji Road. Tongji Road is a street full of coffee shops, each with its own characteristics, but my friend and I are not very interested in coffee. Instead, we found this tea shop filled with green plants (Picture 2) quite special, so we went in for tea. We also visited Xianxing Bookstore (Picture 3), intending to order something and read quietly by the window, but it was too crowded and noisy, so we left. We strolled around and did some window shopping at the coffee shops there. On Sunday, after breakfast on Huagai Road, we took Line 3 directly to Lunjiao, which was just three stops away. First, we went to Ming Stone Garden (Picture 4) to see the mansion of the wealthy. The garden was actually a bit small, and the ¥20 ticket was not very worthwhile, but it was still nice for taking photos. Next, we visited the Turtle Jelly Cultural Experience Museum (Picture 5) right next to Ming Stone Garden to taste authentic turtle jelly. Then we went to Tianyi Lang Garden, which is the Xiangyunsha Museum with distinctive architecture, allowing for very modern photos. Unfortunately, when we got there, the security guard said they were off on Sundays and wouldn't open the doors, which left us speechless 😓. We had no choice but to take a taxi directly to the last stop in Lunjiao - Fisherman's Wharf (Picture 6). It is a cultural park transformed from an abandoned factory, where the restaurants, tea shops, and graffiti reflect the collision and integration of modern and traditional culture, making it worth visiting. After two o'clock, we took a car back to Huagai Road to stroll around the pedestrian street and enjoy the classic traditional local cuisine, and even packed some to take home for our families to taste. At seven o'clock, we took a car back home, concluding our two-day trip to Shunde~
