Zhuhai New Yuanming Palace: Classical Charm, Traditional Cultural Appeal.
Entering Zhuhai New Yuanming Palace feels like traveling through time back to the glorious era of royal gardens. The sun bathes the park, with the lake and mountains reflecting each other, creating a breathtaking scene. I strolled among the exquisite pavilions and towers, feeling the classical charm. Especially notable is the fountain of the twelve zodiac signs, modeled after Beijing's Old Summer Palace, each with unique forms and rich cultural significance. Within the park, I also enjoyed a wonderful folk performance. The actors' superb skills and passionate performances made me appreciate the allure of traditional culture.

From Guangzhou to Zhuhai for a one-day trip, come to Zhuhai for sightseeing, visit the Yuanming New Park, a must-visit attraction, and it's super crowded during the May Day holiday.
To enter Yuanmingyuan, you need to make a reservation. It's very large inside and there are many unique little things to see. You can also go boating and watch performances. Because it's too hot, we just took a quick look.

In addition to the famous fisherwoman and opera house in Zhuhai, there is also a new Mingyuan Garden. The Beijing Yuanmingyuan is the original manuscript. The 18th view of the 40th view of Yuanmingyuan is built according to the ratio of 1:1. It has a strong culture and essence. The elegant pavilions, terraces, buildings, pavilions and magnificent dance performances combine the classical royal buildings, the Jiangnan classical garden buildings and the western architectural complexes, and the Qing Dynasty flourishes.
Looking at the classical royal architecture of the Garden and the Jiangnan Garden and Western Architecture, not only began to feel the shame of the past, but also proud of the increasingly powerful country.
I heard that there are many programs for tourists to watch in the scenic area, such as the emperor's emperor in the Zhengda Guangming; the Jiuzhou Qingyi folding opera; the Jiangxi Silk Jiangnan Silk Bamboo; the Fang Hu Shengjing The election of the emperor, the big wedding, etc., show the glory, grandness and grandeur of the Qing Dynasty... But today I will leave regrets first.

Visit to the Dreamy New Yuanming Palace
Finally had the chance to visit the long-awaited New Yuanming Palace. It felt like stepping into a beautiful painting. The scenery in the park is picturesque, and the ancient-style buildings instantly transport you through time, allowing you to feel the rich cultural atmosphere. As you stroll through the park, you can see the lake and mountains complementing each other, with pavilions and towers arranged in an orderly manner. Each building is exquisitely crafted, whether it's the upturned eaves or the carved beams and painted rafters, showcasing the artisans' superb skills and endless dedication.

Zhuhai New Yuanming Palace
The New Yuanming Palace in Zhuhai is a precise 1:1 replica of ten scenic spots from Beijing's Old Summer Palace. It is a 4A-level scenic area. Surrounded by mountains on three sides, the southern side is very flat and open, with the Fuhai Lake covering an area of 80,000 square meters.
All the buildings and landscapes in the park are reconstructed according to their original sizes, forming a royal palace-style architectural complex. This place not only features palace buildings but also perfectly integrates the charm of classical royal and Jiangnan classical gardens, resembling a fairyland scattered around Fuhai.
The East Lake in the center of the palace is named Fuhai, meaning 'seeking fortune in the sea' as per the legend of Xu Fu. This place was once where emperors and concubines would boat, watch dragon boat races, and enjoy fireworks, serving as the center of water activities in the Old Summer Palace. Visitors can also board the 'Qianlong' boat for a 30-minute ride at $80 per person, with performances to enjoy on board.
The entire environment is perfect for taking ancient-style photos, dressed in qipao, Hanfu, Gege costumes, etc., making you feel like you've traveled back in time.
There is also an exhibition of ancient treasures in the park, which is great for bringing children to see.
Tour direction: Follow the central axis of the palace from the 'Hall of Supreme Harmony' inward, then turn left to the water sculpture. Note that the stone mountain (with the purple roof) is still under maintenance, so you can skip it.

Zhuhai New Yuanming Palace: A Blend of Classic and Modern
Zhuhai New Yuanming Palace is a garden built to replicate Beijing's Old Summer Palace, offering a blend of classical and modern elements. The garden is divided into three main areas, with the royal architectural complex being particularly impressive. The golden decorations inside the Hall of Diligent Government showcase the majesty and grandeur of the royal family. Then, I strolled to the Jiuzhou Qingyan area, where displays of Qing Dynasty history made me feel as if I had traveled back to that prosperous era.
The scenery of Fuhai Lake is picturesque, with the Jiangnan-style garden buildings around the lake, such as the Pinghu Autumn Moon, being exceptionally beautiful and captivating. Finally, I visited the Western architectural complex, where the pool in front of the Haiyan Hall and the spectacle of the twelve zodiac fountains left me in awe.

1️⃣Western Mansions
The bronze statues of the twelve zodiac animals, also known as the 'Twelve Zodiac Fountain of Haiyantang in the Old Summer Palace,' integrate the essence of Chinese and Western art. They were originally located on both sides of the pool in front of Haiyantang in the Old Summer Palace, arranged in a V-shape. Each hour represents a zodiac sign, and they take turns to spray water to tell the time. At noon, they all spray water simultaneously, which is a unique spectacle. Each zodiac bronze statue has its unique symbolic meaning.
2️⃣Jiuzhou Qingyan
Jiuzhou Qingyan is one of the earliest building complexes in the Old Summer Palace and one of the forty scenes of the Old Summer Palace. The name Jiuzhou Qingyan implies peace and prosperity across the nine regions of China, with the country in harmony and stability.
3️⃣Zhengda Guangming
'Zhengda Guangming' is an idiom. It comes from the Song Dynasty scholar Zhu Xi's 'Collected Works of Zhu Wengong, Volume 38, Reply to Zhou Yigong': 'As for Fan Gong's heart, it is upright and bright, without old grievances, and his sincere loyalty lies in the country.' It means to be open and honest, with upright conduct. The main hall of the Palace of Heavenly Purity has a plaque inscribed with 'Zhengda Guangming' by the Qing Dynasty Emperor Shunzhi. Due to its special historical significance and the continuous portrayal in recent film and television works, it has become a major symbol of the Qing Dynasty. There are photo spots for checking in.

⚠️Travel Tips
1. Food prices in the park are relatively high, so you can bring your own.

The New Yuanming Palace integrates classical royal architectural complexes and the illusion of Jiangnan classical garden architecture, scattering fairy mountains and jade pavilions around Fuhai. According to the meaning of 'seeking in the sea' by Xu Fu, the East Lake is named Fuhai. It was a favorite place for emperors and their concubines to go boating, watch dragon boat races, and enjoy fireworks. It was the center of water activities in the Old Summer Palace.

Travel through regions and time, and encounter Yuanming New Garden in Zhuhai
Zhuhai doesn't have many places to play, and I decided to check it out only after seeing the must-visit list. However, as a Beijing kid, I was momentarily speechless at the sight of this replica! Let's explore—Yuanming New Garden! Whether it's a treasure or not, you'll have to see for yourself!
🎫 Admission is free, just need to book in advance
🏡 Built in the style of classical gardens, it's a great place for taking photos in traditional costumes or choosing scenes! 🈶 There are red walls, stone bridges, bamboo groves, lakes, corridors, and more! But for those who come to appreciate the beauty of architecture, well...
To be honest❗ I found the Western-style building section even more perplexing, with the residential buildings behind it clashing starkly, and you can see various air conditioning outdoor units. The fountain ⛲ is added with various colored lights and music, and the moment I heard it, I felt like a square dance was about to start!
🏡 Fanghu Shengjing is under renovation, completely inaccessible, and can only be walked around from the outside. In hot weather, electric carts are more reliable!
Overall, I personally think it's only suitable for taking photos and checking in! Or to put it another way, those who don't have the chance to come to Beijing can get a feel of the 'imperial garden'
Roy Crist
Discouraged from visiting Yuanming New Garden during the May Day holiday! Please heed this advice (with suggestions)
💕 If you are fascinated by the history of the Qing Dynasty, then this is your paradise. Chunyuan is not just a garden; it is a living history museum that allows you to stroll through and feel the splendor and elegance of that era.
📍 Chunyuan is adjacent to Xiayuan, but remember, the entrances to the two gardens are still some distance apart, so driving is a wiser choice.
🗺 There are a total of 45 scenic spots within Chunyuan, making it the largest garden area in Yuanming New Garden. It is unrealistic to expect to tour the entire area on foot, so it is recommended to purchase a Baodu vehicle ticket or rent a bicycle, allowing you to explore every corner more comfortably.
⚡ The Baodu vehicle ticket is only 30 yuan and comes with a wristband, making it convenient for you to hail a ride at each stop, which is very user-friendly.
🚢 The Fuhai pleasure boat is a highlight of Chunyuan. With a park ticket, you can enjoy a free ride once, and the view from the waterway is very open, allowing you to appreciate the beauty of the garden from different perspectives.
🕐 The opening hours of Chunyuan are from 8:00 to 17:00. It is recommended to plan for about 2 hours of playtime to fully appreciate its essence.
🌈 The recommended tour route starts from the entrance, passing through Tongleyuan, Gongshi Street, Xifeng Xiuse, taking a boat to Fanghu Shengjing, then to Tianchi Waterfall and Lanting, and finally watching the Qing Dynasty imperial examination performance at Dagongmen, concluding your Chunyuan journey.
📷 Don't forget to leave your beautiful photos at Lanting, Xifeng Xiuse, Fanghu Shengjing, and Tianchi Waterfall, these popular photo spots. The scenery here is definitely worth capturing.
🎟 The performances in Chunyuan are also a highlight, especially the 'All Nations Coming to Court' and the Qing Dynasty imperial examination, which make you feel as if you have traveled back in time, experiencing an immersive historical scene.
🎫 As for ticket prices, adults are 175 yuan, children 90 yuan, students/teachers 144 yuan, and seniors 126 yuan. The value for money is quite good, especially for family outings, as package tickets are even more cost-effective.
⚠ Lastly, don't forget that the main attractions of Chunyuan are the scenery and architecture. Most of the houses inside are empty, so don't expect too much from the indoor exhibitions. Even so, the beauty of Chunyuan is enough to make you linger and forget to return.
💕 Chunyuan in Yuanming New Garden of Hengdian, a place where you can experience Chinese aesthetics and the history of the Qing Dynasty, come and start your time-traveling journey!

Yuanming New Garden
Visitors can enjoy free admission by following the official WeChat account at the entrance of the park. Zhuhai is so friendly to tourists. I arrived at Yuanming New Garden on the morning of February 6, 2024. Located at the foot of Shilin Mountain on Jiuzhou Avenue in Zhuhai, the garden covers an area of 1.39 square kilometers. It is constructed based on the original Beijing Yuanming Garden, selecting eighteen of the forty famous scenes from the Yuanming Garden to replicate on a 1:1 scale, and is one of China's first batch of AAAA-rated tourist attractions.
Yuanming New Garden integrates classical imperial architecture, classical gardens of the Jiangnan region, and Western architectural ensembles. It recreates the Yuanming Garden for visitors, with fairy-tale pavilions scattered around the 'Fuhai' Lake, named after the story of 'Xu Fu's quest for immortality in the sea'. It was a favorite place for emperors and their consorts to enjoy lake tours, watch dragon boat races, and view fireworks. It served as the center for aquatic activities in the Yuanming Garden. Yuanming New Garden is quiet, comfortable, and grand. One cannot associate it with the tragic burning it once suffered; instead, it presents a scene of prosperity and is well worth a visit.

Zhuhai Delights: A Memorable Getaway
My recent visit to Zhuhai was delightful, thanks to the excellent hotel I stayed in. Despite its slightly dated appearance, the hotel provided convenience and quality. Opposite, the underpass market offered convenient shopping. Nearby massage parlors and hair salons were reasonably priced. Taxis were readily available.
During my 3-day stay, I explored attractions like 圆明新圆, offering free entry. A buggy tour for 38 per person provided informative commentary.
The food was exceptional, with delicious food found everywhere. A bustling night market provided a fun experience.
Overall, Zhuhai offered a mix of comfort, convenience, and memorable experiences. Looking forward to returning.
