[2025 Taicang Attraction] Travel Guide for Nanyuan Park (Updated Jan)

I've heard that Taicang Nanyuan Garden is a great place to visit, and today I finally got to see it for myself. It really lives up to its reputation. First, Nanyuan Garden is an ancient garden. It was built during the Ming Dynasty's Wanli era, around the same time as Suzhou's Lingering Garden. It is several hundred years older than Suzhou's Yiyuan Garden and has a rich historical and cultural background. Second, Nanyuan Garden is a new bottle of old wine. During the War of Resistance Against Japan, Nanyuan Garden was destroyed by Japanese bombs and abandoned. It wasn't until 1998 that the government decided to rebuild Nanyuan Garden in its original form. More than ten ancient buildings with historical value were relocated to Nanyuan Garden during the renovation of the old city. This created the 18 scenic spots we see today, including the "Gate Tower", "Xiuxue Hall", "Xiangtao Pavilion", "Dahuan Pavilion", "Hemei Immortal Pavilion", "Hanbi Boat", "Tanying Pavilion", and "Long Corridor". The garden is now more diverse and exciting than ever. Third, Taicang's most famous restaurant is "Nanyuan Restaurant", which is located just outside the east gate of the garden. This is very convenient for tourists. The dishes are exquisite, and diners can enjoy Suzhou Pingtan performances while they eat. Delicious food, beautiful music, and stunning scenery make for a perfect combination! After leaving Nanyuan Garden, I also visited Shaxi Ancient Town. The east and west streets are built along the river and have the charm of an ancient water town in Jiangnan. The local delicacies include Taicang pork floss, Taicang white garlic, pork floss bones, and Shaxi rice cakes. They are made and sold on the street, and most of the people there are locals. The town has a strong ancient town atmosphere.

Suzhou's 40th garden: Nanyuan Garden Nanyuan Garden was built by Prime Minister Wang Wensu during the Wanli period of the Ming dynasty. It covers an area of more than 30 mu and mainly includes Xiuxue Hall, Tanying Pavilion, and Xiangtao Pavilion. It was the place where Prime Minister Wang planted plum trees and chrysanthemums. In the early Qing dynasty, his grandson, the painter Wang Shimin, and the master of rockery Zhang Nanyuan cooperated to expand the garden and moved the Zanyun and Shier peaks from Yanshan Garden. It was rebuilt and renovated many times from the Jiaqing to Tongzhi periods. Nanyuan Garden is centered around a pond, with pavilions, towers, and Yudai Bridge dotted around, highlighting the balance and tranquility of the garden.

Nanyuan Garden is located in the urban area of Taicang City, Jiangsu Province. It was built during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty by the then Prime Minister Wang Wensu (courtesy name Xijue) and covers an area of more than 30 mu. The main buildings include Xiuxue Hall, Tanying Pavilion, and Xiangtao Pavilion. It was the place where Prime Minister Wang handled government affairs and grew plum trees and chrysanthemums. It is also known as the "Prime Minister's Mansion" among the people of Taicang. It was abandoned during the Qianlong period, rebuilt during the Jiaqing and Daoguang periods, and repaired during the Tongzhi period, but gradually fell into disrepair. It was damaged by Japanese bombs during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. In 1998, it was designed and planned according to the original photos and drawings, and has now been gradually restored and opened to the public for free.

He recommended me to go to the music festival, and I bought tickets in advance to feel the atmosphere. However, when I took a taxi there, it was surrounded by people, and I couldn't see anything, so I took a taxi to the high-speed rail station and went back!

Nanyuan was built during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. It was once the most famous scenic spot in Taicang. It was the place where Wang Xijue, a senior official of the Ming Dynasty, planted plum trees and chrysanthemums. The garden is full of plum trees and chrysanthemums. When Nanyuan was built, it made full use of the natural terrain to create a landscape painting effect through techniques such as stacking mountains and managing water, and building bridges and corridors. After entering the garden, walking through the corridor and standing on the small flat bridge, the scenery in front of you is like a poem and a painting. The single-hole arch stone bridge in the distance, Zhijin Bridge, is like a rainbow over the water. Taicang Nanyuan is a Jiangnan garden with a long history and rich cultural connotations. Walking into Nanyuan is like traveling back to ancient times in a dream. The pavilions, terraces, and pavilions in the garden all show the unique charm of Jiangnan gardens. Walking in the garden and admiring the scenery in the garden, this tranquility makes people feel extremely comfortable.

Suzhou to Taicang only takes 1h‼️ If you haven't been here yet, I can only say it's really a pity! - Today, we will check out some niche attractions and see what treasures Taicang has to offer⁉️ Route: No need to retrace your steps! I've done the homework✅ Taicang Museum→Song Wenzhi Art Museum→'International Wharf' Theme Art Museum→Wang Xijue's Former Residence→Nanyuan First stop: Taicang Museum This place is really cool! As soon as you enter, you can see two big ships. I'm very curious about how they were moved into the museum? It is said that these are wooden ships used by Zheng He during his voyages to the West. You can take photos and check in, and there are some interactive game experiences, but be careful not to damage the ship's body~ The museum is divided into one underground floor and four above-ground floors. Each exhibition hall is very interesting and very suitable for children. You can spend a whole day here! - Second stop: Song Wenzhi Art Museum (Taicang Celebrity Museum) I only found out about this art museum after doing some research. The museum is not very large and is very quiet. The exhibits cover 115 celebrities from Taicang from the Song Dynasty to the present, including important works such as 'Seeking Poems in the Pine Forest', 'Great Changes in Mountains and Rivers', and 'Chairman Mao's Former Residence in Shaoshan'. These works represent the artistic achievements of Mr. Song Wenzhi in various periods. - Third stop: 'International Wharf' Theme Art Museum This is the anchoring point for the seven voyages of the Ming Dynasty navigator Zheng He, known as the 'International Wharf'. The museum has two floors and is built in the style of the Republic of China. It's really suitable for taking photos and checking in. There is a folded-ear cat in the museum, which is very cute. - Fourth stop: Wang Xijue's Former Residence I met a local friend who said it was her first time here too. She had passed by many times but never came in to visit. It's really quiet inside, but the courtyard is very large, and the architecture is designed like a garden. After walking around, I found that there are more than twenty historical steles embedded in the walls of the ancestral hall and courtyard corridors. Such a treasure of a spot really needs to be checked in! - Last stop, Nanyuan Today, we checked in for the night tour of Nanyuan. The main feature is off-peak travel. Come and see the wonderful performances by the teachers. The night tour opens at 6:30 PM, and the performances start at 7 PM. Following the guide, you can easily learn about the layout and historical background of each spot. The performances by the teachers are also wonderful. Every step of the Kun dance seems like the next moment they will fly to the moon. The Kunqu opera 'The Peony Pavilion' is a must-listen. Watching it from across the river, the immersive experience is really fantastic! ⚠️Activity time is every Friday and Saturday from 18:30 to 21:30. Don't miss out!

August 24, Saturday. Woke up at 4 a.m. to walk the dog. It was still dark, the streetlights were dim, and after the dog finished peeing and pooping, it refused to go back home. It knew I was going out to have fun today. Pushed its butt, shoved it inside, and closed the door, hearing its wails from inside. This season, taking the dog out is very inconvenient. It's too hot to leave it alone in the car. 1. Watch the Sunrise! Drove all the way to the riverside pier. At 5:25, just in time, the sun peeked over the horizon, and the crowd watching the sunrise let out a gasp. It's strange, the sunrise is not a new sight, but it always stirs the heart. In front of nature, humans always seem like naive children. Many small crabs were scurrying in and out of the cracks in the seawall. You couldn't catch them; they were very clever. As soon as you got close, they would crawl into the narrow cracks and then poke out their little claws to tease you, "Come catch me~" When the sun rose high, the surrounding air became hot and humid, and the crowd began to disperse slowly. 2. Time for Noodles! After watching the sunrise, I was hungry. I remembered an old shop in the city called Nanyuan Noodle House, known for its authentic Su-style soup noodles, especially the fried pork chop, which is crispy and fragrant, very popular among diners. A forty-minute drive later, I saw the shop and knew it was a neighborhood place for regulars, with no decorations, just a bright open kitchen. The slightly chubby face of the noodle-cooking auntie was full of smiles. I ordered a bowl of red soup noodles, with vegetarian chicken, fried egg, and double mushrooms, plus a fried pork chop. "I'll add some shredded pork and water bamboo for you, it tastes great." The auntie's Suzhou dialect was soft and gentle, like an old neighbor living next door. The old saying goes, "Smile three times when you see someone, and the customer won't leave." Hmm, the auntie's smile perfectly made up for the simplicity of the shop. A piece of fried pork chop, not big, coated with a thin layer of flour, fried in hot oil, crispy and fragrant with each bite. Couldn't help but give a thumbs up. The red soup base of the Su-style soup noodles was perfectly seasoned, and the thin noodles were chewy. The round vegetarian chicken, tender and soaked with soup, was very satisfying with each bite. For this bowl of noodles, I decided to come to Taicang again next time. 3. Visit the Garden! After eating and drinking, I headed straight to the nearby Nanyuan Garden. Typical Jiangnan garden style, not large, with winding paths leading to secluded spots. Small bridges, pavilions, rockeries, bamboo groves, and lotus leaves were arranged harmoniously, small but beautiful, with changing views at every step, without any sense of crampedness. Sat idly in a pavilion for a while, enjoying the late summer breeze, watching the goldfish swim leisurely and forage among the water plants. I remembered a poem by Monk Huikai from the Southern Song Dynasty. "Spring has flowers, autumn has the moon, summer has cool breezes, winter has snow. Don't let idle matters hang on your mind, and every season is a good time." If it weren't for the thought of going to the museum to see an exhibition, sitting idly for half a day would have been very pleasant. Travel around Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai You must see a sunset once Cultural attractions sharing The taste deep in memory Outdoor hiking Taicang food One-day trip Travel notes Independent women Love life and food

The Nanyuan in Taicang really took my breath away! Taicang, a small Jiangnan city often overlooked by tourists, has an excellent geographical location. It is right next to Shanghai, yet it remains quiet and tranquil, like a paradise on earth. The first time I entered the downtown area of Taicang, it was already evening. I purposefully chose to visit Nanyuan for a stroll. Having come to Taicang, I chose Nanyuan because I like gardens. I always feel that in the cities of Jiangnan, a classical garden can represent the essence of the city. Nanyuan in Taicang, also known as Taishi Mansion, was built during the Ming Dynasty's Wanli era by the then Prime Minister Wang Wensu. It was where Minister Wang planted plum trees and chrysanthemums and dealt with official affairs, and it was once the foremost scenic spot in Taicang. Touring Nanyuan, it lacks a bit of the original charm of classical gardens, but the reconstructed garden is still very beautiful and pretty. The early autumn garden is lush with greenery, continuous lotus fields, and rippling pond waters. Walking around, there is also a sense of beauty as if leisurely roaming in a poetic and picturesque setting.

❓Where is Nanyuan? It's in Taicang City. 🌱Without visiting the gardens, how can one appreciate the extent of spring's beauty? The spring in Nanyuan is not only about various flowers but also about the lush greenery of different trees. 🌲A 60-year-old hackberry tree has been living by the small river in Nanyuan, nourished by ample water, with intertwined roots, showing vigorous vitality. 🍃The bamboo grove in Nanyuan is lush and dripping with green, towering into the clouds, with a quiet green charm, highlighting the bamboo's elegant and noble quality, creating a very beautiful artistic conception! ✅Nanyuan is free to visit, no appointment needed 🌟Highlights: Jiangnan gardens, not crowded, excellent experience.

The scores, conditions, and fingering of Xu Shangying, a representative figure of the Ming Dynasty Yushan Guqin School, are collected here. There are four major Guqin rooms inside, but unfortunately, the second floor is generally not open to the public. The outer corridor of the Guqin Tower is particularly beautiful, winding and winding, with stone boats and rockeries, connected by caves made of stacked stones. There is a hundred-year-old osmanthus tree in the courtyard. September is just the season of blooming, but unfortunately, the weather is too hot and the flowering period is too short. As a native of Changshu at the foot of Yushan, facing such a world's number one Guqin Tower that highlights the glorious history of the Yushan Guqin School, a sense of pride arises spontaneously!
