Attraction Introduction Yanhuachi Park was built in the Tang Dynasty and is one of the representative works of Sichuan gardens in western Sichuan. The scenic area consists of Yanhuachi Park, Lu You Temple, and Zhou Wen Temple. With its unique garden landscape and cultural heritage, Yanhuachi Park has become one of the important filming locations for the 1987 version of "Dream of the Red Chamber", with six episodes filmed there. Ginkgo Viewing and Photography Tips 1. Classic location, between two large ginkgo trees. However, there are many tourists, so take photos early in the morning or late in the evening, and edit out the tourists. 2. Take photos from different angles. The model stands by the second stone railing outside Dacheng Hall, and the photographer stands at the bottom of the Bell Tower (do not step on the grass) and takes photos from below, almost avoiding the crowd, with the entire background being ginkgo trees. 3. The corridor next to "Mingqin Dahe Zhi Xuan" is accessible from the "Lu You Temple Gate". The long corridor is lined with tall golden ginkgo trees, making for beautiful photos. Although there are many people, you can wait for a moment when there are no people. 4. The pavilion opposite "Bantan Qiushui Yifang Mountain", where the model sits inside and the photographer takes photos by the lake. Take photos of the scenery outside the window and the silhouette of the model. 5. "Sanqu Bridge", one of the filming locations for the 1987 version of "Dream of the Red Chamber", but there are many tourists, so it is difficult to find a spot without people. Practical Information 🎫Ticket: CNY 8/person ⏱️Opening Hours: 9:00–17:30. It is currently the best time to view ginkgo trees, so to avoid the crowds, it is recommended to visit at opening or closing time. 🚄Transportation: Trains run to Chongzhou, and it only costs CNY 12 (second class) from Chengdu West to Chongzhou, taking 20 minutes. After getting off the train, take a taxi for about CNY 7, or ride a shared bike. 🪭Nearby Attractions There are two small attractions near Yanhuachi Park, "Chongzhou Museum" and "Chongyang Catholic Church", which can be visited together.

The aesthetics of "Dream of the Red Chamber" in Sichuan can be found in Chongzhou. In recent years, the aesthetics of "Dream of the Red Chamber" has become a trend in academia, film, and even theater, with numerous works inspired by the novel.

The museum covers an area of 97 acres and consists of the only Tang Dynasty official garden in China, the only Lu You Temple in China, and the only complete ancient Confucian temple in the Chengdu area. The layout of the garden, with its ponds, courtyards, pavilions, bridges, towers, and bonsai, gives visitors the illusion of strolling through a Jiangnan garden. This unique scenery not only attracted the 1987 TV series "Dream of the Red Chamber" to film here but also drew the cast of "Family," starring Lu Yi, Huang Lei, Huang Yi, Li Xiaoran, and Xue Jianning, to shoot scenes here. It is a place where many celebrities have stopped and lingered.

Huaiyuan Three Delicacies (Ye'erba, Frozen Cake, Tofu Curtain), but most people only buy Ye'erba and Frozen Cake.

| I regret not going there until now!.📍Chongzhou·Yan Hua Pond 🎫Ticket price: 8 yuan per person 🥀Yan Hua Pond is known for two tags🏷️, the site of Lu You's Temple and the filming location for the 1987 version of 'Dream of the Red Chamber'. Out of the 36 episodes of 'Dream of the Red Chamber', 6 were filmed here. This can be specifically seen in the plot 'Judging Cases and Exercising Power by Ping'er'. 🥀The 'Yan' in Yan Hua Pond originally refers to a net for catching birds, and the meaning of 'Yan Hua' is 'to spread the natural scenery on the canvas with a large net'. Such a beautiful implication! 🥀Yan Hua Pond was first built during the Tang Dynasty and flourished in the Song Dynasty, being a 1300-year-old official garden. It is also known as the 'Millennium Garden'! It is a landscape garden hidden in the bustling city, with a view at every step, featuring the landscape characteristics of Western Sichuan gardens as well as the style of gardens in the south of the Yangtze River. ❗❗Five must-see spots: ❶S-shaped Bridge: The most typical scene in 'Dream of the Red Chamber' ❷Golden Gardenia, commonly known as Bottle Orchid❀: Located to the left of Lu You's Temple, planted during the Ming Dynasty's Hongwu period, about 640 years ago, it is the only golden gardenia tree over 500 years old in Sichuan. ❸The corridor next to the golden gardenia: It is the corridor leading to Grandmother Jia's residence in 'Dream of the Red Chamber', and there are Tang Dynasty Qiong kiln porcelain shards underneath, which are of great appreciation value. ❹Half Pond Autumn Water and One Mountain Room: A very elegant name! The clear pond on the right is in the style of Suzhou gardens, and the artificial mountain on the left features the landscape characteristics of Western Sichuan gardens. It's truly half Western Sichuan and half south of the Yangtze River. ❺Lu You's Temple, a must-visit for those who admire Lu You! ☑️We went there on the fifth day of the lunar month, not too crowded, and there were plum blossoms in the garden this season, not particularly many because the plum trees are tall and difficult to capture with a phone, but should be great with a camera. ☑️Right next to it is a food street, Xiao Dong Street. A local friend from Chongzhou recommended 'Lao Yang Jia' spicy hot pot, but it was not open. It opens on the eighth day of the lunar month, so we ate at the 'Xiao Ji' spicy hot pot across the street, which was also good, especially the instant noodles! Turning the corner to the T-junction leading to Yan Hua Pond, 'Huai Tai Tofu' is also delicious! Bought some other snacks, well, they were just okay, so I won't recommend them! ❗The snack street gets very crowded around 15:00 in the afternoon, so it's recommended to go in the morning. 🌲There are many ginkgo trees in Yan Hua Pond, which must be beautiful in autumn! It's also particularly suitable for taking photos in Hanfu. Hope everyone has a fun visit!

The Yanhua Pond Park has now been renamed to Yanhua Pond Museum, which is an ancient architectural complex that integrates gardens, shrines, and temples. The Yanhua Pond garden has been the backyard of the Shuzhou government office since the Tang Dynasty, and during the Tang and Song dynasties, many famous poets visited here, leaving behind a large number of poems and writings. It is one of the best-preserved Tang Dynasty official gardens in China. It was destroyed by war during the Ming Dynasty and rebuilt in the style of Jiangnan gardens during the Qing Dynasty restoration. It is said to be the only Jiangnan-style garden in Sichuan now. During the Southern Song Dynasty, Lu You served as the deputy judge of Shuzhou and both lived and worked here, hence there is the only shrine dedicated to Lu You in the country. The Wen Temple is the state Wen Temple, and it is one of the four best-preserved Wen Temples in the province. The most popular time to visit Yanhua Pond is in autumn when the golden ginkgo leaves contrast with the red walls and black tiles. The ginkgo trees in the garden are mostly over a hundred years old, and those interested can try to find a few that are three hundred years old The latest discovery is a century-old weeping begonia, which is currently in full bloom, with delicate pink flowers. It is surprisingly harmonious to see people dressed in Tang and Han costumes taking photos here Ps: The ticket price is 8 yuan

March in Chengdu is a world of flowers Pink, white, purple, and yellow compete to bloom. The flowering season is brief, a fleeting moment. Waiting for a sunny day is not easy. Recently, it's the world of crabapple blossoms. The pink crabapples can give off the vibe of cherry blossoms. I've summarized prime spots for the crabapple bloom. Pick a nice day and set out. Duobao Temple Park (Image 4) Duobao Temple Park There's a small sea of flowers in the park, mainly because it's less crowded and good for taking pictures. Baiye Road (Images 1-3) Highly recommended, it's right outside the Chengdu College of University of Electronic Science and Technology, not crowded and undiscovered, accessible by multiple bus routes, with flowers hanging down by the roadside, great for taking pictures. Tanghu Park (Images 7-10) Tanghu Park A holy land for crabapple photography, with many flowers complementing the architecture. Xihua University (Images 11-12) Xihua University Also a less popular spot for flower photography, enter the main gate and you'll find many crabapple trees, the flowers are a bit high, but the campus atmosphere is completely there. Anhua Pond (Images 5-6) Yanhua Pond The ancient architecture here frames the crabapple blossoms perfectly. Dongfang Sally Garden There's a large area of crabapple blossoms, very photogenic, though it might be crowded. Sanyi Horticulture Sanyi Horticulture A garden that plants flowers and trees, with an ancient vibe, great for taking photos of the flower sea. Better pictures on a sunny day!

The Yanhua Pond was originally built during the Tang Dynasty. The existing buildings were reconstructed in the Qing Dynasty. The official garden and Lu You Shrine, together with the Confucian temple, are located here. The Lu You Shrine is the only one of its kind in the country, and the Confucian temple is the only complete ancient Confucian temple in Chengdu. Every plant and tree in the garden is a view. Spring is the right time for crabapple and hydrangea blossoms, making it a great opportunity for taking photos and checking in. Get off at Wansheng Station on Line 4 and take a taxi, or take bus 302 to Chongzhou Middle Road and then walk to reach the destination.
